Zara

And the cardi I bought this weekend.

Uh....Is it silk/cashmere blend? How long is it? And how much is it?

^But nowadays they put a spray on pleather to make it smell like like real leather.

i know, this really makes me angry.
but i'm well trained at recognising leather. my great grandfather happend to be a shoemaker and when i was little i used to run around his then closed shoe shop and inhaled the leather smell...

I went to Zara yesterday, really determinded to get a big and chunky knit sweater/dress but couldn't find anything. I think I saw some there a while ago but I guess they're all sold out. Ah well, it was better for my wallet that way.

Can you just read the label inside whatever it is? I just recently bought a bag from Zara, and I knew it couldn't be leather because of the price, still I also checked the label and it say poly...something. Can't spell it, but it's basically plastic or something like that, right? Anyway, not leather.

^ polyester? yes, that is a synthetic material. like pleather. :[

They had the most gorgeous grey chunky knit cardigans with fur in the hood at Zara today! They only had mediums left which were super bulky else I would've bought it....the fur was super soft!

hi,
Yep, it´s the ones with cashmere/silk. Love them. It´s quite long. I used it as a dress a couple of days ago. I need to wear something underneath it, though. The price has increased from last year - it´s now 549,-.

No, not polyester. It's Polyurethane

 

[dalgyal]

^ oh, my bad. thanks for the correction. :]

[casaanova]

Hey, those look really cool on you...you definitely pull them off, especially with that white tank and the boots.

 

[scivolare]

wow, thats a lot for a cardigan, I think! Does it keep the shape? The silk/cashmere cardi I have from Mango stretched so much, it had no shape after using it 5 times.

 

[CherryPixie]

I dunno but I never have trouble telling weather something is made out of leather or not. I guess that's beacuse my mom would only ever buy us real leather shoes as kids (which I hated at the time, I would've prefered the cheapo blinking barbie shoes =P). It's not just the smell it's also the feel the the texture. To me it's quite obvious if something is fake leather but I also have a friend who always has to check the label because she doesn't believe me.

jessie, looking great!

I have that silk/cashmere cardi from last year and wore it almost to death. I must say that the quality isn't that great as you can really tell that I wore it a lot. And I even brought it to the dry cleaners. But I'll def. keep wearing it this year again esp. now that the prices for the newer versions have increased. It's a great basic cardi though.

Yep, they were sold out pretty quickly last year. I compared the old one with the new one, and as Velony wrote you can see it´s been worn a lot. It won´t stop keeping me from wearing it this year, though.
I think it has kept the shape okay.
The last time I went to Z. I couldn´t find the cardis so I guess you have to be fast getting it this year, too.

 

[jessie77us]

thanks so much for the lovely comments! I can't wait for the weather to cool a bit so I can wear them out. Scivolare the tank is from the Wilfred line at Aritizia.

^thanx, Rockin-Republic. And no, you´re not that baaad! I´m planning to return to the store as soon as possible!
Happy shopping!
