Has anyone seen a cardi like this one for about half the price?

I’ve found my perfect cardi, but it’s way more than I want to spend.

dream cardi

Any of you fashion mavens seen a cheaper version?

TIA

Hi, there's a tan/ caramel colour cardigan at h&m it's longer than this tho. £18. Not that thick luscious wool tho!! m2.hm.com/m/en_gb/productpage.0660599014.html
any good?

Fatface always seems to be full of cardi’s like that.

Sparklyring · 15/09/2019 20:37

Chrestomancicat that’s not bad! Only thing is, it might be a bit long. I have stumpy legs, even though I’m tall, so overlong cardis make me look cut off at the knee.

That’s why I loved the Toast one so much.

200 quid though!

I couldn’t see any in Next that were quite right.

You know when you have the perfect thing in mind, then you find it and it is way over budget?

Then it spoils every other cardi because they’re not that one?

Yeah, that Grin

I know 😢 I'm currently mooning over a Celtic & co cardi that's bootiful 😍 but over a hundred pounds www.celticandco.com/womens/clothing/cardigans/cable-boyfriend-cardi

hammeringinmyhead · 15/09/2019 20:49

I have that Celtic one. It's amazing.

Nothing is going to be as nice has the toast one. Can you get someone to send you a 15% refer a friend voucher?

I’ve been lusting after that Celtic Co one, too, but a review said it was scratchy and scratchy wool brings me out in a rash so that cured that.

The Toast one is lovely and soft though dammit

Funnily enough I was just thinking today about a H&M one that I used to have and LOVED, it had a similar shape with a cuff around the bottom giving it a sort of bubble silhouette and it was lovely soft wool. Been looking for something similar ever since but in black so will be watching this thread!

KatyS36 · 15/09/2019 21:34

Wool overs have similar at the moment and also in that type of colour (I've just been looking at the catalogue)

NWQM · 15/09/2019 21:38

Kit snd kaboodal have some nice ones in the sale. Eg www.kitandkaboodal.co.uk/made-in-italy-penveny-cardigan-p3686?attribute%5B2%5D=12

That Mango one is the sort of thing that I wish I could wear, but makes me look like a woolly dalek Sad

Aldi have almost the same but in deep red available from Thursday next week for £9.99, you should be able to look at them online by now (not sure how early they are available to view online before store sale date).

If you wanted an actual photo of the cardi let me know I'll take photos she. I'm in work next (I prep the specials)

Dirtystreetpie · 15/09/2019 21:55

This lady sells lovely stuff and has chunky long knitted cardies that come in “rust” which is v similar to that.
