I’ll usually get bits from

John Lewis
Marks and Spencer
Mint Velvet
Sometimes, Phase Eight and Next

I’m looking for suggestions for online shopping that I don’t know or are unknown.

Thanks.

Colleague gets her stuff from 20 Petworth (expensive and amazing boutique!! She always has beautiful clothes). If you have the money but are short on time then a boutique is great as you don’t have to rifle through things too much, they’ll have a good range and you can pick anything. That’s what she says she does and looks incredible! She also has stuff from Cos (me too, mid 30s)

Sorry and I should say they’re online because I send ages looking at their website :)

This thread needs cross-referencing with:

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/style_and_beauty/4331132-Style-and-sustainability?msgid=110207528

Some brilliant (new to me) suggestions there.

What German companies do you use? Have looked at some in the past but they don't sell outside Germany. TIA

Yes, I like TU too.

Really hoping ‘our age’ means the 21st century!

@RoisinD
Navabi - have a high minimum order value but free returns
Peter Hahn - more expensive and slower delivery but no min order

Divebar2021 · 24/08/2021 14:31

I’m going to add a new brand to me - Lindex which is Scandinavian.

I love Raey for inspiration and am saving up for a coat from there.
