Do you find Boden expensive?

We do not have Boden in Canada, but I really love their style, and see links on a few blogs I read. I'm not sure if it is the exchange rate, but I find them quite expensive, almost twice what I would pay for a similar quality of item here.

They do shipping, but have a high minimum purchase in order to get free shipping, and returns are at my cost, so I will have to wait until they open up some shops in Canada, or I ever travel to UK. If wishes were horses...

Do you shop Boden?

They are quite expensive compared to similar brands. I have had some nice cashmere and vest tops from them. Still wearing a couple of their striped tops that must be 20 years old at least.

I'm another who buys less from Boden than I used to, but I think their products have changed. They seem to have become more gimmick-y with garish prints and silly styling.
I have a lovely black velvet 3/4 length coat that I got from Boden but it was probably over 20 years ago. I still love wearing it should an occasion arise.

I don't think they're expensive compared to similar brands, Fatface, Crew Clothing etc.
