Anyone use this site? It keeps coming up on my feed and I like the look of some items but would welcome any feedback on the site before I buy!

Thanks.

Its 90% rubbish . I've got a few bits from there , about half were sent back , of the remaining clothes most have been worn once and some look like rags after washing. Cheap but I wouldn't bother again

I have bought clothes from here many times and they have all been lovely. No negative feedback here

Bit hit and miss. Returns are not free and go to Belgium (may cost more now due to Brexit?)
Some tshirts come up v small.

My teen DD has bought a couple of bits from there a couple of tops that are ok-ish but look very cheap (they were v cheap but look worse than primark etc) and a pair of boots that broke the 2nd time she wore them.

As others have said, a bit hit and miss. I find it helpful to read the reviews. I’ve just had a sweatshirt from there this week which is lovely. I tend to buy my dog walking jumpers from there - the polyester means they don’t need ironing!

SuperbGorgonzola · 07/02/2021 08:40

I've got some knit wear from there and i like them. It is like Primark quality but i wash them on cold and dry on radiators and they seem to be lasting really well. I'll definitely be using them again for jumpers.

I got two dresses for work that were not great material but tbf i wasn't in a position to be able to afford the £40/50 equivalent from the high street and i just needed to freshen my wardrobe up.

Thanks everyone. I'll have a look but only go for the good review items Smile.

I suspect I'm going to be on furlough for another couple of months so just wanted some cheaper bits to make me feel a little more put together, even though I'm at home.

Hit and miss but just right for teenagers.

It's a little like Primark but online.

ShinyGreenElephant · 07/02/2021 08:52

Agree with others, very hit and miss. The baby stuff is awful fitting but DD11 loves it and gets lots from there. Nicer styles than primark but similar quality so better for kids clothes that only need to last a few months rather than adults.

laughoutquiet · 07/02/2021 08:58

Has anyone have any other recommendations for online clothes shopping? I'm just looking for basics that aren't too pricey.

I like it. I've had tops (bad, horrible material and too big) dresses (great, especially for summer) jeans (good) Just read the reviews carefully before you buy.

Same.

Probably once or twice ive had something and the quality was shit but 90% of the time its fine.

Always google the customer service reviews and the quality reviews of any of these companies. Many of them are based in China and the reviews are dreadful.

UnicornMadeOfPinkGlitter · 07/02/2021 09:37

Read the reviews. Check measurements for each item. Some items are fab and others are awful.
Teenage dd seems to like quite a lot of it at the moment and so has ordered quite a lot.

She’s got some really lovely kilt style mini skirts from there. The knitwear is very hit and miss but she’s got a lot of funky tights, skirts, crop tops and more fitted tops. And even a really nice pair of boots.
The accessories are good as well. Again she has some lovely necklaces and rings.

I did order a few bits for myself. A couple of wrap dresses and tunic style dresses. The downside for me was that the material was very thin on a couple of them.

Returns were free though.

Ethics/environmental considerations are extremely likely to be non existent.

Lotinena clothes ads come up a lot on my phone. They look absolutely gorgeous. Sadly the reviews are not good.
Why have lovely designs and not bother to produce them properly?
I wish someone would take over the company and produce good quality clothes in their designs.
