Annual moan about Boden high prices

Just that really!

Even with 20% discount.

Hardly a dress under £100.

Ditto jumpers even ones mainly with polyester.

Exactly why harley said. EBay. Excellent value. Got an £80 dress for £29. At £80 it was overpriced. Also a shoutout for their swim wear which isn’t cheap but lasts

They could perhaps lower their prices if they wasted less money on marketing!

They still send me mini catalogues etc in the post several times a year despite me having not bought anything from the tin years. They even still send the kids clothes booklet when I haven't bought kids clothes from then in about 10 years

It all goes straight in recycling, I don't even bother looking at it anymore

I'm the opposite, I keep asking them to send catalogues but they don't! One comes then nothing. Not that I've bought anything from them for a while, but this has been going in for years! I used to buy a lot from them.

I have a number of older Boden items (cpw is in pennies for most now), mostly bought in their sales, which are still going strong, washing well, wearing well and, importantly, make me happy wearing them. I've been unlucky of late though and the quality, weight and wear of some items purchased in the last couple of years has just not compared and this has pushed me to look beyond the brand (I can be a lazy shopper). I will pay, but it is then whether the price meets your expectation and I no longer want to buy something that is a one wear wonder. Boden had a lot of my clothing fund, but nothing this year to date and it looks unlikely for the foreseeable too. Shame, I love the prints.

I've just looked and I really liked most of the dresses however I've recently bought very similar stuff from M&S for about a third of the price. Other stuff will be cheaper for similar in Monsoon
