Where to find a particular type shrug?

[jaydotcee]

I've been looking for a shawl/wrap/shrug like this for a very very long time, and I was wondering if anyone has seen something similar and can tell me where I can get something like it. I'd really really appreciate it!

ps. I found these pictures on a website once a couple of months ago, but I completely forgot where they're from, or I would've purchased them already. Thanks again!

Bebe had a couple for Fall, they came in citrusy colors and were covered in sequins and beading. I like them alot though those colors were kinda wierd for a medium weight knit piece. They were on sale last time I was at a Bebe, they only had a couple but nice none the less.

No problemo hunny

YES! I am actually looking for the same thing...like the one Hilary Duff was photo'd wearing...I don't know how much luck I'll have because I was interested in a heavier one...oh well. Do you suppose they will be back in a few months for fall? Perhaps now that they've been done the cheaper stores (within my price range) will carry something similar...

I found something like it at MANGO (european brand that just came to canada) and they had this in kind of an olive green, the only thing is that there are crocheted holes in it, and I just want like a heavier type like you... I think I'll get that anyway and keep on lookin!

i love that store....i saw it at yorkdale...such nice stuff

Not sure where you are located, but im living in London now and to be honest I think most of the shops over here do that style of cardigan/shrug. Maybe look on ebay because I know quite a few sellers from the UK are selling those kind of crochet tops of that style and they are quite cheap.

 

[jaydotcee]

I tried to, but I'm not sure what to search under... any hints?

 

[vintage_princess]

Just type in "crochet bolero shrug" and some stuff esp. form the Uk will come up.

How about this one at Active Endeavors by Madley?

Now on to the one I want! Emina is wearing it backstage at Max Mara and also in the Models in their own Clothes thread. Anyone know who makes it or where I could get it?

 

[jaydotcee]

Depends on where you live...
They are all over the place in Melbourne.
Off the top of my head, Witchery have them ... witchery.com.au

 

[jaydotcee]

i live in canada.. and i haven't found many.. i looked on ebay.co.uk but they were just a little bit off than what I had in mind.

I saw a brown one like that at h&m a few days ago. It was selling at about $20

I bought a black one at Bebe in 2004...it's very similar to the grey one pictured at the top, except it's shorter & more fitted. No sequins or beading...just plain. Very pretty on, but I've actually never worn it.

 

[jaydotcee]

ahh.. sourkiwiz.. which h&m? I've seen a similar white one.. but its sleeves were fitted, and it looked kind of strange

 

[sourkiwiz]

hmm.. I'm in New York and I browse around h&m's every now and then for bargains. The one I saw had sleeves exactly like the gray one in the picture and had a very similar knitting. I believe I saw it at an H&M in Soho and one in Queens
