Boden sell their owned branded clothing (they are not a reseller
of other manufacturer) and they make nice looking, well made
clothes. I've ordered a few things from them online and by
their catalogue and always received a good professional service.
The website also features a sales section, and at certain
times of the year they have excellent end of the season sales.
I think most people will have heard of Boden because of their
quality catalogue, rather than through their online presense.
Just by browsing their site and catalogue you can see how
well cut their clothes, with tough long wearing lovely fabrics,
the cut and attention to detail is fabulous, and they offer
some fibrant colours and prints. Their designs remind me of
the Gap, it has the same fashionable casual look, without
being uber trendy and cutting edge. They are the type of classic
design that you can wear year in, and year out. To be honest
I can imagine kids will be wanting something more jazzy, but
for a mature lady I think they are Ideal. The only hitch is
the price, for what you get I think they are far too expensive.
Their trousers and skirts can easily set you back £60-80.
I also noticed while reading their small print that they do
not offer free returns for short fittings. This is a must
for a company that sells it's clothes via a catalogue and
website. If your being clever wait for their special offers
when they sometimes include the shipping for free, maybe this
will off-set the cost if you need to return the item. Overall
I think their clothes are priced maybe 10-20% higher than
they should be, that's why buying at sales time is such a
good idea. But you will soon see how fab the tailoring, and
how beautiful some of their knitwear is if you purchase anything,
I particularly like the colours.
