Bag a bargain.

Reported.

Wow! I assure you I am genuine. I am not selling you anything, just pointing out a nice bargain to be had in this difficult economic climate.

I can’t believe you are happy to buy Chinese goods. I would rather go without. It might be ‘a nice bargain’ for you but you’re supporting slave labour.

My apologies Boz for reporting.

I wouldn't wear that.. horrible

👏👏👏

I like it

Again, as discussed before, a lot of clothes from some of the top brands have none too brilliant ratings as being environmentally ethical.

I think I got the Chinese bit wrong; they are made in Nepal and I have a soft spot for their quilted cotton jackets having visited the Country a couple of time and bought nice stuff, including cashmere jumpers, there.
They do make more conservative stuff. You can get a nice plain quilted navy jacket. Bang on for an English summer.

A lot of Nepalese clothing seems to be fair trade friendly, as far as I know (bearing in mind I know nothing)

Don’t they use donkeys to transport loads in Nepal?

Oh I don't know.
I will have to find out.

It's a nice jacket but I think I'd look ridiculous in it

I'm too short and fat for it, plus I have riculously skinny legs for someone so "stout"

My friend witnessed a protest against human rights in China. A young Chinese man said to her they were trying to create awareness of what goes on and said the one thing she could do is not buy Chinese goods.

Well that's an awful lot of things, but more power to her and anyone else who manages it.

I love the hippy dippy look and I excitedly bought five pairs of hareem pants from Amazon because they had glowing recommendations .
Silly me !
And never again will I buy unrecognisable brands from Amazon .
Their other stuff is good and I have no complaints . I order frequently from them and usually use them to send gifts as it is so convenient .
But these hareem pants were the worst items of clothing that I've bought .
On the first wearing , despite selecting a roomy size the seams split wide open in the crutch rendering them embarrassing as I was walking outside .
Then , when I washed each pair an unbelievable amount of dye came out as if it had not been fixed .
They can be sent back to Thailand and there is no guarantee of a refund .I certainly didn't want replacements with the same product .
I just checked and they are still being sold .
I wonder about the validity of the recommendations .

I’ll take a look at their site thanks OP.

I've no idea of their longevity. The two pieces I have bought looked nicer and better made than the poor photos. However, perhaps best to avoid something that needs a lot of washing such as cheesecloth trousers. As in everything in life, be selective.
My point of interest, having once been in the "rag trade", is the huge mark-up by Plumo on several items from this trader. I like Plumo and realise they have to make a profit. May I suggest looking at Plumo to see what products from NFYM (not for your mother!) they sre selling to gauge the quality you want.
Please excuse my enthusiasm - I have a passion for and make an art of decking myself out to face the world in the few years I have left to me.

Good on you.

Who owns NFYM?
The other is a British company.

OK for some, but not for me.

They both look as though they have been made from the bags of offcuts on The Great British Sewing Bee.

I thought the jacket was quite pricey.Hardly a bargain.
