I lost my perfect jumper on vinted. Anyone up for a search party?

[HollywentLightly]

I didn't even know she was the one, and when I clicked, it was too late, already sold. Pic attached - grey, purple and yellow. Gorgeous colours in the right ratios, wool, just the right shape. I can't find another anywhere else (well, some Chinese knock off sites that I can't imagine deliver on their promise) and haven't found an alternative. The second pic could have been another vinted contender but angora in the mix nixed it for me. I saw these https://www.wolfandbadger.com/eu/lola-sweater-in-multicolor-multicolour/ & https://www.wolfandbadger.com/eu/striped-stitch-maya-crew-multicolour-stripe/ but they are too expensive not to be right.

I'm looking for boxy, wide stripes and jewel tones, in merino, wool or cashmere (or mix). No angora, mohair or acrylic. I have considered knitting one myself but I'm painfully slow at the best of times, currently exacerbated by actual shoulder pain. I'd pay £200-300 because I'll wear it forever. Very grateful for any suggestions

Is this the same jumper?

With that kind of budget I'd be inclined to commission a knitter to make it to your exact specifications.

If you click the camera icon on Vinted and put in the pic of what you want it will find either the exact copy or super close. It’s a great feature on the app. Good luck 🤞🏻

There’s size 8 on vinted? Probably more if you keep looking.

Lots of possible avenues to check if you do a Google image search

And M, an easy find OP!

This @HollywentLightly ?

It's alright to say things can only get better
You haven't lost your brand new sweater
Pure new wool, and perfect stitches
Not the type of jumper that makes you itches, oh no

I love it when a thread is resolved so efficiently. Great work SneakyArcher that was probably the fastest resolution to a thread I've ever seen. 🥰

Thank you @Sneakyarcher ! I hadn't looked at eBay because the last time I bought there the duty fees to Europe were insane but this would actually be worth it!

I checked all the links on Google lens @St0rmF0rce but they either lead nowhere or to the dodgy knock offs.

Unfortunately Vinted UK. I forgot all of you don't know I live in Ireland!

I know I had it it on when I had my tea,
And I’m sure I had it on in the lavatory.
Oh no.

With your budget, have you looked at Slow Love knitwear? They have the smiley face icon but other designs as well (I covet the octopus) and plain, maybe they also have stripes?

So we can buy from sellers in US/Australia but you can't access UK Vinted from Ireland? Why is that??!

(Don't mean to sound like I don't believe you, I'm genuinely baffled!)

I saw this designer at a pop up store recently, so lovely. 100% merino wool stripes. https://gianninacapitani.com/collections/jumpers/products/oversized-panton-jumper

To ship to EU you have to pay customs since Brexit. On the plus side, we get all the Italians selling their shoes.

Those are gorgeous @Absolutelynowayno , I'll be looking further!

Unfortunately the medium on eBay is too big, after double checking the measurements, and between the price, customs, delivery and exchange rate it was too much to potentially throw away €80.

Something in the hive search shook loose a site I've never seen before though, Sellpy, where I pounced on a small for €30! Google tells me the site is backed by H+M and trust pilot is ok, so fingers crossed 🤞🏻 thank you all.

You’re only the second person I’ve ever come across who knows this song - and the first is my DB! You’ve given me joy.

I’ve sold to people in Australia and bought from the US, postage wasn’t too bad.

I've bought on Sellpy before (I'm also in Ireland) and had no problem. Glad you got sorted.

I’m in the UK and would be happy to buy for you on Vinted and post @HollywentLightly

Postage, plus customs plus exchange rate is a massive kick in the arse when trying to buy from the UK these days

You are very kind, but hopefully I'm sorted!

I breezed past with a smile, assuming everyone knew. Don't they??

And my mother will be so, so angry
and my girlfriend will be so, so angry
and my dog will be so so angry
