I thought slogan clothes had their day. Esp Kind just feels v dated.

I bought the black “ dance “ cashmere jumper online and have just returned it, despite liking it and it looking good on me with black trousers / jeans for a night out . The quality was v poor - virtually see through and £140 price tag was unjustified

@BitOutOfPractice I think they are OK but I wouldn't buy them. If I saw someone wear it I'd probably think 'ooh Bella Freud Marks jumper'.

I think I'd be more inclined to buy from the JWA collab. with Uniqlo.
I don't need new clothes or have the budget for any.

I’ve just spent the afternoon sorting my winter clothes out so I feel like I’ve got a new wardrobe anyway today 😁

@BitOutOfPractice , I need to cull mine. They'll look better when they're a bit more organised.

The only thing I liked was the coat - I don’t like slogans on clothes - but I'm not in the market for a new coat.

WhereAreWeNow · 18/10/2025 18:02

I wish they'd bring back the Ghost collaboration - I got some really nice dresses from that.

@CrostaDiPizza I’ve been ruthless. Really ruthless. I still have too much but I’m getting there

MsSmartShoes · 18/10/2025 22:33

I won’t be buying and I won’t give it another thought as is a totally forgettable collection.

NewHat · 18/10/2025 22:57

Who wants to walk around with ‘kind ❗️ ‘ emblazoned across their chest? Confused

Anjo2011 · 19/10/2025 14:27

Slogan jumpers/tees are so over done so not for me. The candles and accessories look ok for the money but I won’t be buying anything. Saying that if you like it, that’s all the matters.

AppleDumplingWithCustard · 19/10/2025 15:22

All hideous, especially the jumpers with slogans. Do adult women actually wear clothes with words on?

outofdate · 19/10/2025 15:48

Horrible colours and ridiculous slogans.

I tried on the burgundy/pink jumper and it actually looked quite good on. Slightly oversized but in a flattering way. And the wool/cash blend felt nice. I just wish it hadn't said "wham bam" on the front - not sure what that is supposed to mean?! I was considering the black dance jumper but not if it's very thin as pp said .

Oh dear, just had a look - the best advice I can give to the older models (not the kids) is 'Cheer up' ! Goodness, what miserable looking faces.

Definitely not inspired to buy any of it. Everything is so 'ordinary' for want of a better word.

”cheer up” would be a great jumper

"Bugger off" even better

I've not been ruthless but it's got to the point where I have so much that I've forgotten I ever bought it.

I've tried listing on ebay but it is so annoying to have something returned because the buyer hadn't bothered to actually read the description. Cost me 2 lots of postage and a trip to the post office.

CrostaDiPizza · 22/10/2025 07:59

@BitOutOfPractice , Apologies for not clearing the quote. Any tips for being ruthless please?
