Re: things selling out quickly, I see that they have some stuff I was looking at back in all sizes now , ( the linen tunic and peacock dress for example) , so I think they are having batch delivery delays.. some larger sizes of the linen shorts are back in stock now also

Theteapotsbrokenspout · 03/03/2022 08:42

Thanks for that @Laska2Meryls I’ll keep checking for the smaller sizes.
Notice they also have these shorts but at a pretty hefty price.

ScottishMouse · 03/03/2022 09:25

I think it might just be returns popping up @Laska2Meryls. I saw that there were all sizes of the shorts at about 6am this morning, but by the time I got around to trying to order some in xs a couple of hours later, all the xs-m were gone.

Reporting in…
The blue gingham trousers are a lovely fabric, but yes, they wrap around the front so there is an awful lot of fabric. Too much for me, as I am short. They are not an everyday trouser, but could look great for something special.
Sadly, the green Alix were an aberration. They were apparently an old colour, and the Edinburgh shop got sent a few randomly. So they will not be back. They will be coming in brass and in rust, sometime this month although they couldn’t say exactly when.
I also saw the pinkish check shirt that there was some chat about yesterday. I would say the colour is kind of apricot. Not how it looks online, and I am not a fan.
The easy tee that I was after in the brown is not brown at all but orange. Again really different from how it looks online, but I did buy it as it is a lovely shape and I like orange.
I snaffled a pecan stripe cotton linen shirt in my size, it has been sold out online for a while. I actually exchanged my blue one for it as the blue had just sat looking at me since I bought it, the colour was not great for me.
I asked about the price difference between the stripe version and the new plain version, which they had, and is so beautiful in slate. They were as gobsmacked as we were quite frankly, and could only suggest it was down to the fabric, which is a lot softer feeling. I didn’t try it as I know I would want it, but it is just too much.
Think that is all I saw.

Countmeout · 03/03/2022 13:44

Yes sounds too much going on with the trousers @ScottishMouse. it’s a pity.
Glad you got your pecan shirt. Agree it will look lovely with blues/denim.
At least we can all put the green Alix to bed. I think I’ll get the brass if they ever appear online.
I noticed on my Toast website rambling that new shirt is twill not linen but even so the difference is astounding.

Gonegrey31 · 03/03/2022 14:26

The difference in the descriptions of the cotton/linen shirt is that the latest version is described as "organic Italian" cotton and linen blend.
Not sure if this can truly explain the huge mark up.

Laska2Meryls · 03/03/2022 15:54

Here are the space dye trousers and black coffee linen tunic.. I really like them both ( unfortunately for my wallet).. However they
instantly creased on wearing as per 2nd photo.. I hadnt even sat down in them ....

Trousers are really large. These are the XS id usually be a 12 ..

faustina · 03/03/2022 16:23

That is a high crumple factor @Laska2Meryls!

Laska2Meryls · 03/03/2022 16:36

Yes .. Hmm too much to keep do you think?

Theteapotsbrokenspout · 03/03/2022 16:40

Shame about the creasing, they look lovely in the first picture.

faustina · 03/03/2022 16:53

I don't mind some creasing, but I think I'd want something non creasing with it - eg the trousers with jersey rather than a long shirt

neveradullmoment99 · 03/03/2022 17:11

Lovely outfit @Laska2Meryls
I don't think the creasing is that bad.
However, its all about how much it bothers you. It certainly doesn't look awful.

neveradullmoment99 · 03/03/2022 17:12

I absolutely love the shirt. Had my eye on it.

Laska2Meryls · 03/03/2022 17:14

I am keeping them,relly love them. Never As they are linen I am thinking I can channel the 'Expat in the tropics look' with regard to creasing ! Grin

Countmeout · 03/03/2022 19:26

They’ll be lovely in warmer weather @Laska2Meryls. Makes a great outfit.

Laska2Meryls · 03/03/2022 19:39

neveradullmoment99 · 03/03/2022 20:44

That is a gorgeous jumper!😍😍😍😍

neveradullmoment99 · 03/03/2022 20:44

Looks short though...

TempleofZooom · 04/03/2022 08:43

By the time its warm enough to wear linen I find body heat and the temperature mean creases drop out plus its summer and a more casual look is fine and preferable imo.
Talking of linen the cotton/ linen circle dress is nice but £295?!
Interesting its exactly the same design as a linen dress I had made up in 4 different colours for around £85 each a few summers ago.
That was made to my exact specification regarding size/ length and delivered wrapped in tissue, beautifully folded.

I really dont understand the justification for some of the prices now?
My cotton/ linen navy jumper arrived , lovely but £150.
Have searched in vain for a proper dark navy jumper for ages and its so nice and heavy so will keep.
The blue check dress is nice but looks a bit short for me.

Laska2Meryls · 04/03/2022 09:15

The space checked trousers fabric is slubby in places , ehich id fine but these two lumos are toght in the centre front thigh which I know is going to annoy the hell out of me and ill probably end up picking at them.
So I am going to order another pair in the hope that they are better .. ( ill have to iron these to go back though !!)

Oh god I really should check my typing! . Oh for an edit post function.. well I hopefully you got the jist of what I meant 🤦‍♀️

MrsCat1 · 04/03/2022 12:23

Good afternoon. Has anyone got/ seen the indigo striped cotton trousers? Just wondering what they are like in real life in terms of colour and fit/length? No online pictures of them on a model. Thanks.

Countmeout · 05/03/2022 09:19

I think having noticed it @Laska2Meryls you’ll not be able to Unsee it. It would annoy me too.

I got this today! It’s very nice. Quite small though, might have to get a large. It’s quite thin material. Lovely colours!
