Pleased with Seasalt!

I love sea salt, I have quite a few of their lovely striped t.shirts, dresses, cropped leggings and tunics. SS is My favourite shop...next best shop for me is 'white stuff'.

They would be really nice gifts (but I selfishly bought them for myself during lockdown when my holiday to Cornwall was moved to next year).
They are jute, sorry, not canvas - £6 .

They're nice bags, Puzzler61. Would make good presents to bring back from holiday.

No. 2

These was part of my last Seasalt purchase, canvas, good quality and a great size.

Luckygirl on my “fat days” shapeless is good ?

I always have some A line clothes which are more forgiving of whatever weight I am, and some fitted which I know I’ll need to “get in shape” for, before wearing.

I find their clothes dull in colour and shapeless - ducks below!

Good to know Mellow, thanks for sharing ?

(And enjoy your allotment today. I shall be thinking of you. I’m a flower grower, never had much luck with veg.)

If you're visiting the area there's a Seasalt seconds shop on an industrial estate near Falmouth. Google 'Seasalt seconds shop' for the address. I've found some amazing bargains there.

I am a Seasalt fan and always visit the shop in St Ives when on holiday (remember those?!).
I do kind of agree that as it’s grown some of the quality in some garments has been lost.
Have you tried Mistral online?
I found it when I went in the Dartmouth shop 3 years ago. Since then I’ve shopped with them online.
Very similar , and I’ve had some nice quality items.

Im another who enjoys wearing Seasalt clothes, bought my first item so many years ago when in St Ives for a somewhat fraught holiday, much easier now there’s a shop fairly close. Mail order has always been easy. No quality quibbles yet.

We have their face masks too. Well made and they wash well at 40 degrees

I can recommend their face masks. Lovely soft cotton, a good fit and adjustable ear loops. Just wish they were in more of a mix of colours. I bought a pack of 3 all in green shades.

I agree about pilling on wool. I have a cardigan from them that pills, however I have bought very expensive woollen jumpers which also pill.

I can’t remember jumpers doing this when I was young.
SeaSalt have got bigger now and much of their manufacturing is done abroad but I think they still strive to be eco and ethical which is more than some clothing companies.

The nice big jumper did pill very badly but I still like it.

MawB was just getting excited there!

seasalt garment quality has gone down the pan. Their garments used to be good. Rubbish quality now and yes I have a seasalt shop in driving distance

Totally disagree Craftyone
Two new dropped shoulder t shirts, thick softest cotton, excellent finish and at 2 for £20 a steal!
Similarly with some of last seasons knitwear - the Soda Ash jumper is a particular favourite of mine.
I also have a cotton top - a cross between a sailors and an artists smock I think which has attracted no end of compliments

Sorry - that would have been a steal - 2 for £40. Oops!

DH never usually comments at all on what I'm wearing which is why I was so disappointed that he didn't like my new top.
My friend says that Seasalt clothes are what social workers and teachers wear. Hmmmm.

I do like Seasalt and have several tunics. I have however a beautiful jumper that pills dreadfully. I have given up on it now.

Ha ha, if I still had a husband (divorced not deceased FYI) he would have hated Seasalt dresses! I love them because they're so feminine, in my eyes anyway!

I love Seasalt too. I've got several of their tubular scarf things (well twelve actually) which have really come into their own now doubling as the obligatory face coverings.

I love Seasalt and haven’t taken any notice of what men think of my clothes since many years ago when I was
told that, when it comes to women’s shoes preferences (if asked) most men would pick black patent leather, high heeled strappy numbers. I rest my case!

"I was very happy with a Seasalt tunic I bought last year until DH complained that I looked frumpy in it."
What is it with husbands and Seasalt, Jane10? My husband said my dress looked like something my mother would have worn!
