I really like the look of some of the FT knitwear, but before I splash out can anyone let me know what their experiences are and the quality of the clothing? I am trying to reduce the frequency of buying clothes by buying better for longer and don't want to get caught out. Thanks 🙂

I don't know, but they're mentioned on Help with yoga clothes which aren’t leggings!! | Mumsnet

I wasn't that impressed with the quality. trousers that sagged and bobbled very quickly. the top was ok, but looked a lot cheaper irl.

I buy their harem pants because I'm an old hippy. They don't last for much more than a year or two and the fabric is quite flimsy. It's usually the elastic that goes first.
They are not long lasting clothes and crease easily.

Not great, I've bought quite a few things from them and have had the following issues.

Fraying and buckling elastic at waist, fading, bobbling, seams coming apart at 'gusset' area of trousers.
Their jumpers seem to last better than their trousers.

I found this with their cotton, jersey trousers. Love the styles, though. Dd has a hoodie that's lovely and I have woollen harems and a grey, model top that are good. So, variable, really.

I don't find the harem pants good quality compared to be buddha pants which are amazing. Haven't tried knitwear but I would go with assumption it is flimsy

Thanks everyone. Anyone got any suggestions where I could get similar but better quality? Shame as their styles would suit me!

Rundholtz might have something

I bought some stuff from there a few years ago - good fashion, cuts and styles etc but like others said, poor quality fabric and just not good. I wear nice clothes and these were not good enough so I sent them back and never ordered again.

I've found Emmiol if anyone is interested in youth fashion - their cargo trousers are great, thick cotton, good cut, will be great for winter. I think some of the tops are pretty but as above, if they are polyester, I won't like them and they won't be any good in the cold.
