Topshop #2

[Katie123]

I know, I just received mine yesterday! It's sheepskin all over, and on the inside It's really nice, and I am sure I will love it when winter rolls around

that's so good to know, sheepskin is super warm, probably warmer than my normal zara winter coat!

loverunway i agree it's not worth it, but if you think that in terms of highstreet prices, if i wanted a real leather, real sheepskin coat it'd probably be the same price anywhere...maybe even a bit more expensive in zara! i don't know, if it's a super warm jacket i might actually consider it!

also, when are the leopard print boots going to be on sale, i want them!!

I've been both zara and warehouse both selling REAL sheepskin jackets for under £200
No way will I be paying topshops prices!! There are so many similar cheaper versions out there.

Congrats! Could you post a pic please? I'd love to see it worn.

Sure, but it's not the best picture

well well, to each her own...

 

[Katie123]

it's so gorgeous, i love it and will be getting it if i still find it. to each their own indeed

 

[gossiping]

yep topshop just think because it's them and because its been in a few magazines they can be ridiculous..no way is it worth that i'd say £150 max.

and i think the prices in the US are a lot more expensive btw

Sure, but it's not the best picture

Thanks. It's gorgeous! Great purchase!

If anyone wanted that Alexa lace dress there is an exact copy here: http://www.queenswardrobe.com/goods_detail.php?goodsIdx=1723 haha I don't know how they get away with it it's so similar!

And I really still want that camel coat. A random camel coat is currently going for £200 on eBay just cos it's camel ! I'm annoyed because I have always loved the colour camel and now it's everywhere and everyone will be wearing it and it's getting ridiculous surely you can find a cheap wool camel coat somewhere!? Hahah

I was thinking about the shearling jacket too and the price threw me off. I know that it's real leather/shearling/etc and the design is great and so different to a lot of other leather jackets out there, but 325 pounds is painful especially after the price increase!

An Australian chain store here called Sportsgirl also have a copy of the Alexa dress.

i get put off by all this clone-ness

yeah to be honest i wish i didn't know about the price increase, it just made me mad now. but i'm so adamant on buying it because it's literally the design/fabric etc i've been looking for for AGES so i don't knowww

Aren't the New In skirts just the most hideous things ever?! Animal print cord skirt!? Bright red A line skirt!? A tutu? "Zippy Flippy" Skirt (even the name is enough to put you off...)
It's annoying because I could really do with a nice skirt haha

 

[valerie]

can't believe i went away for two days and now the wool boyfriend coat is already sold out in my size
do you guys think they'll have it again on their website any time soon in a size 8 or 10?
And can someone who bought the coat please take some pictures? I'm really curious to see which colour it will really be..

Oh these silly earrings that I wanted came back in stock last night but it was too late so I thought I'd leave them till today and what happens? They're out of stock again! Do Topshop seriously only restock with about 5 items or something? Where do they all go?!

One thing I will say re: shearling jacket price increase is that it's possible they changed leather suppliers or finishers and that is why the price increased. I bought a leather jacket from them years ago that was quite popular and had it for about a month and then it got stolen at a club and my mother kindly gave me the money to buy another of the exact same jacket and the leather was much nicer on the first-run jackets. It was softer and the finish was a lot nicer. So it's possible the reverse happened this go around - they were unable to get more of the original type of leather and so upgraded. Alternatively, Topshop are most likely just being greedy but I thought I would offer an alternative hypothesis

 

[loverunway]

valerie- It's quite possible they'll restock cos they usually do with the super popular quick to sell out items. It always makes me laugh at the people that spend £300 on eBay to get it and then see that it's come back in stock for the normal price...

Haha, yes, they go to Ebay

As soon as one size sells out it appears on ebay almost within the hour at £250 tops (particularly coats). There is actually a faux fur car coat in Topshop at the moment, which is also on Ebay for £250 - £300. The size of the Ebay item is still in stock at Topshop, so it makes no sense whatsoever. Who really buys this stuff?

I'm not sure how it works, but perhaps the smaller and larger sizes sell out fast because they don't stock as many as the more standard sizes, ie, 10, 12, etc.

I am praying the re stock too, it is GORGEOUS in real life, it is kind thin however because it's wool will keep you warm and colour is so nice.

hahaha I know I saw this jacket go for £130 last night on ebay and this morning it came back in stock in ALL SIZES! it's not even real leather why would you pay that much on ebay!
