All Saints

[elle s'ennuie]

I am mostly a lurker, but I was so shocked to discover that there is no All Saints thread that I decided to start one myself. (I looked through the forum, used search, and found no thread; if there is one and I somehow managed to miss it, I apologize! )

I didn't think they were anything special before, but the fall-winter collection made me seriously swoon. And despite the prices being slightly higher than what I can afford, I'm waiting on a few pieces to arrive right now...

Anyone else? Any tips on quality, sizing, durability?

I already have this dress in black. (picture from asos)

I love all saints but all the hipsters and plastics at college wear it ugh!

I have that dress in black too!!

I absolutely LOVE All Saints. When I was in Glasgow last year I spent most of the time saving money to buy stuff there, haha. Now I miss that shop so much...

I love how most of the things in the shop are black/grey/white, and how you can't really tell if something belongs to the summer collection or the winter one. The rock vibe and how things are cut are lovely... Thank God my boyfriend lives in Dublin and there's All Saints there!

Leather jackets have never been my "thing", but that one has seriously made me want to reconsider! I limited myself to ordering a couple of knits off the website though... this time.

 

[Ksanochka Vanmra]

I don't have the leather one, but the cotton version. I love leather jackets (and All Saints has beautiful ones) but I couldn't afford buying one.

Which knits have you bought? The first thing I bought there was a bright pink cardigan. I love and use it a lot (I wore it today, actually).

I have liked some of their stuff before but I always felt it was overpriced for what it was.

i only ever walked past this store. i only remember liking some of the combat boots on display and that this store has the same name as a DLR station haha

It is. Which is why I appreciate sales There's one here and its a good store. Not as good as the one is Spitalfields though. They do beautiful dresses

I bought quite a lot of things during the sales, because they're pricey, but all the year you have a 15% discount if you show them your student card

I keep forgetting this! I haven't used mine yet and I should! Yay!

It took me some time to find out as they don't say it anywhere!!

 

[elle s'ennuie]

Wow, too bad the student card doesn't get you a discount online, mine is still valid for a few more months!

I bought the pirate cardigan and a snood because I had some written word-of-mouth confirmation that they were really nice and soft. Guess I'll see in about a week if that's true, right now they're still stuck in some sorting office in the UK (I love online tracking..!). And I'm a sucker for soft woolly knit cardigans and accessories, during fall-winter season it's nigh impossible for me to leave stores without purchasing a scarf or a pair of gloves. Living in a colder corner of Europe does that to a person!

 

[dumbfairy]

^ I just had a look at the snood and I NEED it but £75 is a lot of money Let me know if you think its worth the money or not

I also have that dress in black. This is the problem with all saints, they went from being small, to saturating the market. I have been told that they have put up prices, but cut down on quality, and because there isn't a huge range but so many shops, people are wearing the same stuff everywhere.

I preferred it when it was more exclusive, but really, if I'm honest, I'd rather see lovely westwood esque stuff like this on people than rubbish from river island.

^Oh, that's not so good. I only recently discovered the brand, and I am crazy about some of their designs but their prices are a bit steep for me. I was going to ask how the quality holds up against the price?

It's definitely a lot of money for me too, not something I would normally consider paying for a cardigan or a scarf. But I decided that since in the end I'm probably going to spend the money on clothes anyway, I might as well get a few more expensive items I really like, instead of many cheaper ones that'll just do. Also, I admit to having the problem of relieving work stress by shopping...

As for quality, so far I only have the black dress that retails for £90 (got it off ebay for half of that though), and while I can't find any fault with it, I don't really see why it should be more expensive than other high street stores. On the other hand, there are only so many ways to do a 100% cotton dress so maybe the better quality is more noticeable with knitwear? I hope so anyway!

Does anyone know where they make their clothing?

The designs are really beautiful, and they're unusual for a mass produced brand. The quality though is another thing. I have bought several jumpers from them, all of which have fallen apart and got holes after about four months. The skirts have been great though, and my dresses look good still.

E bay is rife with all saints, so I would go with that if I were you, if you can get a discount do, otherwise save for the sales, i've picked up lovely bargains that way.

I used to buy a LOT of things from All Saints but I slowly discovered that it's like some hipster´s paradise, overpriced and they do always season after season versions of the same things.
