David Nieper pricey but worth it?

They are made in the UK which is a big plus, as not much clothing is these days. That probably explains why you pay more!
They are good quality, I’ve only had T-shirts and shirts from them, but they do last for years.

Good question!
I have my eye on a beautiful dress - £135
I’ll see if I can find a pic…

It’s this one.
I like the look of the kaftans too.
I love the ‘Princess Margaret in Mustique’ look www.davidnieper.co.uk/relaxed-everyday-dress-in-denim-stripe-4803.html

Made in Derbyshire, I didn’t know that

My mother had a lovely summer dressing gown from DN. It lasted for goodness knows how many years and the colours never faded.,

Are their clothes ageing?

Asking for a friend

I could really fancy the tropical jersey kaftan!

Well, that’s the crucial thing, isn’t it

Yes. We went to the shop once but I can’t remember where it was.

DH says it’s Alfreton. I wanted a dress for a wedding but thought that there might be a chance of someone else of my age wearing the same dress.

I think you should treat yourself FC, it is very simple but elegant, I wish I hadn't seen it as I want one !!

Lovely dress but not for those 'well endowed' in the frontal area!

Apparently the quality is good. I might put a toe in the water then. If you buy something you wear and wear for years then I don't mind a higher price.

Who wants to wear the same item for years and years though

I do. By default really!

My thoughts too.

Quality lasts I suppose. Years ago people would choose a Wilton or Axminster carpet and still be walking on it 25 years later (and maybe sick of the colour or pattern!) Or buy cheap and more frequently. The dilemma these days is sustainability. How much do we think is acceptable send to landfill?

Witzend i have a beautiful David Nieper floral dressing gown which has lasted really well for nearly 30 years now.
I love it, it still looks gorgeous and I reckon it'll see me out!
(It's reminiscent of one Nigella wore on one of her cooking programmes which sold out instantly when people discovered where to buy it. )

Well walking on a carpets a bit different to wearing it ?? Very little of mine goes in landfill it goes to the charity shop and if it’s not good enough for them to sell then rags for painters/decorators car mechanics factories or for the fibres to be used for whatever they make with the fibres
I think its such a con spending huge amounts of money because a celebrity wears similar Do you know baby Dior clothes retail over £1000 and they may wear them for a month! That’s the crime

Buying good quality basic items is a good investment though BlueBelle. I’ve got two jersey shirts from David Nieper that I’ve had for years, and they still look really good. Not in the price league of Baby Dior, but a sensible investment of a bit more money to get something which lasts, surely?

I have two tops, brilliant quality and fit. I would recommend.

Like the dress Fanny, but I would look huge and pregnant definitely wouldn’t match my face.

I couldn't find a suitable warm plain dressing gown elsewhere so splashed out on one from David Nieper. The quality of fabric and finish is excellent and it washes well. I like to think I'm supporting a team of seamstresses in a British business.
