It just popped up on my sm. l mean it’s OK, but 45 quid for just a top made of viscose🤷🏼‍♀️

It must be in the sale as no one was prepared to pay that price. I’ve got issues with M and S anyway. Dd likes to sleep in big cotton sweatshirts. A mens in M and is is £22.50. A womens is 57 quid l think. I bought the mens….

It could be paying the designers, the style if other people selling similar products sell for around that place, or sometimes products are put up at a high price then swapped for a lower one to make the lower one seem like a good deal even though its also ridiculous.

ArseInTheCoOpWindow · 09/06/2022 16:49

But it’s high for M and S. I didn’t realise it was by Nobody’s Child.

I put a filter on the website to just have their own brand products, as the branded products tend to be more pricey.

M&S are selling a lot of different brands lately, but I don’t think people always realise that so think all the items are M&S when they’re not all. I had the same
thing recently when I thought a dress was really expensive for M&S then realised it was jaegar

ArseInTheCoOpWindow · 09/06/2022 17:20

l still don’t think it’s worth 45 quid though.

Nobody's Child is terrible sizing and quality. Really not worth it.

Gr33ngr33ngr4ss · 09/06/2022 19:12

I don't find their women's more expensive. I got a hoodie for sub 20 quid the other day.

Nobody's Child is Nobody's Shape for me! I can't get a dress to fit me properly!

gunnersgold · 09/06/2022 20:56

It's nobody's child not m and s ... this is one of the brands they sell .
They do this a lot now copying next !

ArseInTheCoOpWindow · 09/06/2022 21:33

She wanted pure cotton.

Mens plain one. Is 22.50
womens plain one is 42

I do like the grey one better. It’s a nice fit. I get your frustration at the price though. H&M are good for cheap cotton sweatshirts that lAst reasonably well.

MarysShackles · 10/06/2022 09:02

The grey one is made by Burgs. I’ve just had a quick look on the M&S website and there are cheaper pure cotton sweatshirts that aren’t “designer”.

ODFOx · 10/06/2022 09:05

Ha! My first thought was that they'd started selling Girl Guiding uniform. It looks like a Leaders shirt!

Yep, same thing op, this grey one isn’t an M&S one

Ha that's a ridiculous disparity in price.

Anyway. Clothes generally are costing more these days I think.

Oh I didn't spot that

ArseInTheCoOpWindow · 10/06/2022 12:38

The only ones that were pure cotton l could find had frills or dip dye. She just wanted a plain one.

M&S have their own plain female ones for about £20. I saw them in the shop the other day.

ArseInTheCoOpWindow · 10/06/2022 12:43

The plain ones are all cotton ‘rich’. I’ve checked again, there are no pure cotton plain sweatshirts. If you can find one please point me at it!

OP posts:
ArseInTheCoOpWindow · 10/06/2022 12:44

That’s cotton ‘rich’. Polyester makes her itch. It’s got 15% polyester.

TabithaTittlemouse · 10/06/2022 12:46

But surely you don’t have to buy it if you don’t like the price?

Northernsoullover · 10/06/2022 13:50

I have been buying m and s cotton sweatshirts for 15 quid. They aren't part of a collection though.

ArseInTheCoOpWindow · 10/06/2022 16:12

Are they 100% cotton though?
