Some of Boden children's clothes removed from site before sale started?

Well, I went on at about 8.05am and 2 colourways in the big button dress were just not there at all. Neither were the cream spot dalmation trousers. Or the blue spot cord heart knee patch trousers.

All were showing as having full stock last night on the site. No sign of them at all today - not sold out- just not there. The other, more plain and boring colours were all still there though for each of the items mentioned.

WTF is that about then? Where have Boden put them?!!!

They are probably going to carry on selling them full price after the sale.

Helewise · 11/12/2009 11:49

I was saying this in the other thread.
The cord coats have been taken out, as have the green gypsy skirts (only just come back in stock too), similarly the applique skirts.
They'll probably be added in a couple of weeks I'd have thought.

Well Johnny, I won't be buying them from you after the sale.

You have missed out on my poundage. I will be spending the money I would have spent with you this morning at the Monsoon kid's sale instead.

Thanks, Goingtohaveagood... for answering my question!

Helewise, i also noticed that a few of the colour options for the women's velvet jacket have been removed also. I may have been tempted to buy but the colours I liked had gone!

Hi Ladies,

I have just been to the Boden shop and all these items you mention are definately in the sale so I'm sure they will add them online in a couple of weeks. HTH.

LynetteScavo · 11/12/2009 12:40

You live near a Boden shop?

Olivia101 · 11/12/2009 12:53

I noticed the same thing with a jacket I wanted. I guess I will be buying it somewhere else....

blithedance · 11/12/2009 12:58

The green velvet jacket? I resorted to purple but maybe will keep the tags on for a few weeks...

Marne · 11/12/2009 13:21

I wanted the big button dress too , i was planning on getting one for dd to wear x-mas day. Last year they added more items a week latter.

BodenBoy · 11/12/2009 23:53

The reasons why things 'disapear' is:

  1. The stock has completely gone.
  2. Its being carried over to next season
  3. As wools said, it could be appearing further in the sale to keep you ladies on your toes.

why throw everything we have at you in one go instead just coax it to you bit by bit and have you drooling for the next bargain? seems like a good idea to me

p.s. these are questions i answer on a daily basis and this was one question i answered ALOT today on the phones.

MollieO · 12/12/2009 00:01

Hi Johnnie .

Everything I wanted was in stock.

BodenBoy · 12/12/2009 00:05

i love how everyone thinks i am johnny, i am not.

he does exist though ive met him quite a few times. really nice guy.

your not unfashionable at all, your just different and that is exactly what Boden is about, 'to be different', 'quirky' and as johnny says (i cant believe im actually gonna quote this) 'Wear Life Out'

Northernlebkuchen · 12/12/2009 17:49

I wondered what happened to the cord coat! They had some in navy on Thursday night and I was thinking about it - but now if you put it in it will be too late for Christmas so my interest has vanished!

Morosky · 12/12/2009 17:53

I could not get anything for dd in her size.

snigger · 12/12/2009 18:39

Well the red cord coat I ordered for DD 8 weeks ago that I've today been advised has been despatched had Better Not Appear In The Sale.

BodenBoy · 14/12/2009 01:05

snigger, if it is phone in next week (after tuesday) and ask for a price adjustment if it is in the sale. monday and tuesday will be really busy and difficult to get through on the phones. or just email the customer services, that can work also.
