Does anyone remember the Boden Ravello top

[Eve]

….and can suggest a modern equivalent?

these were viscose / silk mix, short sleeve ,a round or v neck and slightly fitted.

they were perfect for me to wear under jackets as they looked quite smart and I dislike shirt collars & long sleeves under jackets.

Yes! I found one recently on Vinted. I bloody loved that top.

I sold about a dozen of them recently. I must have bought them in every colour over the years. I couldn’t believe the prices they achieved.

Reiss?

Mint Velvet?

Yes, I still have mine in the longer length for taller women. It’s at least 8/10 years old and like new. Excellent quality and fit.

They were great , still have a silver / gray one

Yes, they were great - I still have 2. Watching for alternatives.

I've a few of them and they're so useful, hopefully Boden will be reading this and relaunch them.

They never fitted me properly but I bought one every season for about five years hoping that, they head, they might do. They always looked like the perfect work top to me.

I wish I had bought several!

Yes, I had a longer length one but it got a bit tight as I have spread a little bit, some lucky person would have found it in the local charity shop.

Is that the sleeveless one with a few soft pleats around the neckline? I have one in pale pink. It’s very useful, I’d definitely buy a couple more if they made them.

Yes, they had round neck & vmeck versions.

I am carefully looking after the ones I have and will look at Vinted & eBay Will also send prayers that Jonny decides to bring them back as part of returning to a more classic style.

would like to find an alternative at a decent price - think they were about £40. Thanks for Reiss link but not quite the same.

I bought a pink one, but the viscose made it so limp and creasy it went to the charity shop after one wear. I bloody resented ironing it for its new owner too!

It wasn't navy and white was it?

I've still got a navy blue silk one which I love. I'm dreading it finally falling apart as I've never found one as good.

I've also got a lovely patterned one but it doesn't suit me as it has a lot of pink in it and I'm quite high coloured. Maybe I should stick it on Vinted?

I had a stunning blue silk one that had a peacock feather design, I loved it and literally wore it until it fell to bits.

I've still got a black one which I wear under a jacket for work. Agree they were very useful, although crease horribly.

Hard to find anything that isn't in stiff, crunchy viscose or poly now.

I have a navy one size 8 new! I'm going to be listing it on Vinted when I get round to it.hopefully this weekend if anyone is interested: keep an eye out! I wore the peacock one to work so much about maybe 8 years ago.loved that one too. Unfortunately as I've aged the round neck just doesn't suit me anymore

I bought several over the years because I liked the colours but I don't have anywhere to wear them. What do you wear on the bottom half?

@Whealspeed I have black, navy and dark grey ones, plus a navy/white patterned one that never seems to get as much wear as the plain ones.

I tuck them into pencil skirts or wide leg trousers for work.

I leave them loose over skinny pleather jeans or slim/cigarette trousers for casual drinks or dinner out.

Really useful tops and I have bought a couple from eBay/Vinted even though I've still got some going strong. I'm terrified of the day they finally die!

I bloody love mine. I have 3 (dark grey, navy and coral) that I am holding onto in the vain hope I will fit into them again as I battle with the peri bulge.

I might try to wear one. It feels too dressy.

I still have 2, but I ruined my absolute favourite one by putting it in too hot a wash - it was hiding in another garment. I don't buy from them these days so hadn't realised that they had been discontinued.

I've still got 2 or 3, but I rarely wear them. The cut just never makes it something I reach for. I guess, judging by this thread, I should sell them? 😁I definitely have one in silver and one in a white print.
