Has anyone bought anything from Brakeburn?

Recently had an ad pop up on my phone for this and liked a few things. Is anyone a fan and if so what is their quality like, is there anything you would recommend or to avoid?

I bought a top for my mother from there, the quality was good. I do think it's a bit "old", my Mum is nearly 80 whereas I'm 54 and feel I'm too young for it. Mind you, I said that about Sea Salt until recently and then found myself ordering a dress from there so what do I know?

I did last year. Bought a holdall, some tops, and a pair of jeans. The jeans were absolutely tiny, but everything else was really nice. The sales are very generous.

There’s a shop near me that sells Brakeburn (when they are open)
I’ve looked but never bought anything
Quality seems fine
Reminds me of Seasalt, Fat Face

I have two Brakeburn bags and they are really well made, and a dress which is thick and heavy/warm and hangs well, but I'm sure it was longer when I bought it, so it may have shrunk shorter. I really like a lot of the Brakeburn prints!

It's good quality. I have a couple of bags and a wallet. It's popular with independent stores. Owners stock it year after year because it sells. They are based in Poole or somewhere else on the South Coast, so the designs have a nautical feel.
Some things are similar to Fat Face and Joules.

I have just placed an order!
Quality is good. Nice " crisp" cotton rather than Jersey
Other similar brands are Mistral and some fat face and white stuff
I'm 56 but used to buy joules, when quality was guaranteed

They have a sale on at the moment If that helps

I've bought several dresses from there recently. The ones I have are really nice thick jersey fabric and have washed really well so far. The sizing is on the generous side I think. I wear a 16 from most places so ordered 16's from here, but I think I could have got away with 14's.

I’ve got a scarf from them, it’s nice, decent quality.

I have brakeburn dungarees and love them. Im 38

Thighdentitycrisis · 14/02/2021 07:43

Agree it’s similar to white stuff ,
I have a Tshirt nice quality, soft but thick jersey, it shrunk a bit though on delicate 40 wash

Local country store sells it , I have a few sweatshirts that are good quality.

I have a couple of tops, they sometimes have them in TK Maxx. They're a bit mumsy I think but I do like them. Well made, nice thick fabric
