Been look at their leggings, vests and boxy tees. What do people think of them? How is the sizing?

Prefer vests to be slightly looser so May size up.

Thanks!

Tee shirt quality is good. Leggings are ok, they feel quite tight still after several washes but they are a bit see through on the bum.
Sizing is fairly standard highl street I think, smaller than m&s. Their size S leggings fit me at size 8-10.
Their knitted jumpers are excellent.

@DuchessSilver thanks! Love the look of the knitted jumpers. How tall are you? I'm an 8/10 too but 5'9" so can struggle with sleeve length

5'7"... the fishermen's jumper in particular is quite long with sleeves that come down my hands a bit (this is from memory, it's so warm that I can't face trying it on!)

@DuchessSilver great, thanks. From reading, the knitted one is unisex so that usually means it's cut a little longer. I can always return if it right anyway. Thanks :)

I've had boxy t-shirts and vests. Excellent quality. I'm 5'8 and found the length of the create good and the t's cropped- ish but not overly so.

create=vests! Weird typo

@thedevilinablackdress oh that's good! Thanks. That's what I'm after. So I can wear them with high waisted jeans not tucked in but without my tummy on show

Just right for that IMO. I have the tie dye and the stripey versions. Keep hoping they bring out more plain colours and I might get some.

@thedevilinablackdress yes, there is a limited choice of plain colours. I think I'm going to go for the Peace sign one

My leggings and top arrived today. They are fab. The leggings in particular are great. Lovely material, not see through at all. Long enough and come right up to my belly button. Never taking them off!

Love the T-shirt too. Think I'm going to turn up the sleeves and put a couple of stitches in to hold them like that. They look at bit flappy at the moment!

DH has a lovely long term habit of buying me their t shirts for a Christmas present but they used to have much better (more attractive and subtle) designs. Sizing is about right ime.

For anyone who likes printed t-shirts, Teemill is owned by Rapanui so they use the same t-shirts as the base. Lots of charities and independent designers have a Teemill store - if you google "Teemill shop" you'll find lots. I love some lovely t-shirts from the Bumble Bee Conservation Trust shop and one or two indie designers too.

Good to hear about the leggings!

I bought my first order from Rapanui and love the boxy tee shirts. Normally a 10 and sized down to an 8 and they are perfect. I'd definitely buy more of these but the colours are very limited.

I got a size S in leggings for my slim teenage DD and they fit her perfectly but would be way too small for me!

I like their T shirts. Good quality and wash well. I wish they did more colours.

I really rate Rapanui, especially because of their sustainability practices. Both myself and fiancée find the sizing to be good, though varies with style. The kid's clothing is also good quality. The pricing is already good for sustainable clothing, but you can often find a Rapanui discount code for extra savings. Hope that helps. 👍
