Comptoir des Cotonniers

[TheGander]

Has anyone bought any of their clothes recently? They used to have stores in London but they have all closed down, I’m heading to France in 2 weeks. Used to like their stuff but the new website makes the clothes look a bit cheap and I wonder if quality has dropped. Thanks for any info!

Quality not what it used to be for quite some time (since it got sold to the Uniqlo group). Some things seem to still be borderline okay but it's no longer a shop where there's a high baseline of quality. Prices have also gone down as well so that pretty much tells you the direction the brand is trending.

I was recommended the brand by a friend… sought one out in Paris but was distinctly underwhelmed.

Oh dear just what I was fearing and also inferred from the website. Thanks for the heads up ladies!

Looking for something to replace C des C for basics eg well cut work trousers. Maybe I’ll head over to the Parisiennes de Mamansnet board for tips 😏

They have a collab with Uniqlo at the moment.

I didn’t realise they’d been sold, I have a dress from there from about 6 years ago that I got it Paris, which I love and still looks like new.

I think the quality has gone downhill. I don't bother with it nowadays.
