Creative and uplifting... and so similar to my work at home scenario. I’m grateful for my kitties and the comfort they bring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/love-bodens-message/page/2#post-2110326 Tue, 31 Mar 2020 06:51:17 +0000 Barbara Diane 2110326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So kind and helpful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/love-bodens-message#post-2110152 Mon, 30 Mar 2020 19:37:30 +0000 Anonymous 2110152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/love-bodens-message#post-2110131 Mon, 30 Mar 2020 18:34:51 +0000 Jjsloane 2110131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw this too (while online shopping of course) and thought it was very clever. I have been a big fan of this company for over 15 years. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/love-bodens-message#post-2110109 Mon, 30 Mar 2020 17:43:49 +0000 Angie 2110109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Sterling</b>, my guess is that Boden had the catalogues printed way in advance, and posted them off a while I ago. Perhaps things will ease off now. &nbsp;It's a hard one.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/love-bodens-message#post-2109913 Sun, 29 Mar 2020 23:39:33 +0000 Anonymous 2109913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, this seemed like a good message to me but one of our sanitation workers recently died of coronavirus. &nbsp;There is real concern in our city about picking up our garbage and recycling. Our county is posting guidelines for us to use to try to limit our sanitation workers exposure. &nbsp;I am doing everything I can think of to help. &nbsp;I can't help but think it would be easier if companies like Boden didn't burden us with their catalogs in the first place. &nbsp;Now my poor recyclers have to deal with it. &nbsp;I am making it a point to get off every single retailers mailing list. &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/love-bodens-message#post-2109855 Sun, 29 Mar 2020 17:20:43 +0000 Angie 2109855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>NICE, ladies. </p> <p>I’ll add to Boden’s fabulous pandemic response with this that came through my Instagram feed last week: </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/love-bodens-message#post-2109854 Sun, 29 Mar 2020 17:12:54 +0000 Roberta 2109854@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a big Boden fan too, and this message feels genuine in part because we know there is still a real person - Johnnie Boden - at the company. Plus the cheerful linen and cotton duds make me hopeful for warmer weather and sitting out on my balcony.&nbsp;</p> <p>A few of the things I am admiring below: </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/love-bodens-message#post-2109793 Sun, 29 Mar 2020 11:43:49 +0000 cindysmith 2109793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Makes me want to buy from them when I can to show my support for a company that's run by someone who seems to GET IT </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/love-bodens-message#post-2108984 Thu, 26 Mar 2020 12:47:21 +0000 lyn67 2108984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not a Boden customer (it's too far from my neckwoods and usually out of my pricerange, too) but got a few from others and I have to say this was really The Best of Them All &amp; I LOVE!</p> <p>ETA: Even if I am sure that's not for long anymore&nbsp;I still have to dress up for work each morning as I&nbsp; still drive to my office out of my home- but I had to laugh at imagining&nbsp; Boden's working from home office staff&nbsp; dressed only from waist up in their brand's clothes- guess is PJ underneath:-)-- which is&nbsp; exactly what I see my DD(22,5) doing -now banned from college to studying at home- when&nbsp; connecting to the online classes&nbsp; she is following!:-)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/love-bodens-message#post-2108981 Thu, 26 Mar 2020 12:36:02 +0000 Anonymous 2108981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are right. &nbsp;This message was exceptionally well done. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/love-bodens-message#post-2108974 Thu, 26 Mar 2020 11:59:28 +0000 Helena 2108974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Honesty in marketing messages - how refreshing! Hope others follow suit. Thanks for sharing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/love-bodens-message#post-2108971 Thu, 26 Mar 2020 11:38:43 +0000 Kathie 2108971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the honesty. Nodding along with Janet- I’ll pull out a Boden top to wear today. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/love-bodens-message#post-2108969 Thu, 26 Mar 2020 11:22:23 +0000 Janet 2108969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a lovely message. Perfectly simple and hits the right note. Other retailers should take note as well. </p> <p>I would like to support businesses I admire, but at the moment I have no desire or need to shop for style (I could use a pair of replacement gear pants, as one pair is getting perilously ratty, and I’m wearing this stuff a lot right now). But perhaps I’ll wear my Boden long-sleeve tee today in honor of this message. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/love-bodens-message#post-2108950 Thu, 26 Mar 2020 09:18:48 +0000 Zaeobi 2108950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is brilliant - no treating us like we're children who can't see beyond the want for something shiny &amp; new to understand what really goes on behind the scenes. It's ok for a business to admit that they plan things months in advance, lol </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/love-bodens-message#post-2108944 Thu, 26 Mar 2020 07:10:16 +0000 Jenni NZ 2108944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It’s very nice. In New Zealand though, we have been asked to minimise the squeezes and hugs. But then we are currently just starting a country-wide lockdown with absolutely minimal physical contact. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/love-bodens-message#post-2108938 Thu, 26 Mar 2020 06:37:47 +0000 Gigi 2108938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for sharing this. It has a combination of seriousness and lightheartedness that is very welcome right now! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/love-bodens-message#post-2108906 Thu, 26 Mar 2020 03:43:13 +0000 Jaime 2108906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie I agree that is brilliant. I feel like I am seeing the true colors of various public figures/entities by how they deal with this crisis. Not too much, not too little, it is very challenging for everyone.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/love-bodens-message#post-2108879 Thu, 26 Mar 2020 02:18:52 +0000 rachylou 2108879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really appreciate these messages from<br /> businesses. I know it’s obvious why they’re shut, but it’s nice to hear from them, know where they’re at. Esp local shops. And it’s been nice to hear from customers too in turn. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/love-bodens-message#post-2108877 Thu, 26 Mar 2020 02:13:54 +0000 Brooklyn 2108877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I 100% agree with that and was going to post it myself. There’s a personal quality to the message too which is lacking in some other retailer messages (which look like they’ve all come out of the same office). That said, I feel very sympathetic to what they are all going through now in these unprecedented times. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/love-bodens-message#post-2108866 Thu, 26 Mar 2020 01:11:04 +0000 Toban 2108866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice! Plus I’m finding my Boden dresses super comfy for work from home and give a psychological boost by being pretty and fun. Love the Amelie jersey dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/love-bodens-message#post-2108864 Thu, 26 Mar 2020 01:01:33 +0000 SW prof 2108864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really enjoyed this message, too. As you say, hit the right note. But I've already got two summer dresses from them when I need zero summer dresses, so that will have to suffice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/love-bodens-message#post-2108847 Wed, 25 Mar 2020 23:59:37 +0000 Sal 2108847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that is an appropriate form of communication and well done to them.&nbsp; It is real - we can look or not look, buy or not buy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/love-bodens-message#post-2108832 Wed, 25 Mar 2020 23:34:26 +0000 Murph11 2108832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/love-bodens-message#post-2108830 Wed, 25 Mar 2020 23:28:15 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 2108830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hadn’t seen that yet but I did get a bright and cheery Boden catalog in the mail today. Glad they are addressing this head on as opposed to lots of other retailers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/love-bodens-message#post-2108829 Wed, 25 Mar 2020 23:24:42 +0000 Suz 2108829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's really great.&nbsp;</p> <p>I confess, I haven't been dressing up to par of late. Partly it's the changes in my routines and being in the midst of a move. Partly it's just a feeling of wanting to burrow in. Maybe happy spring clothes would make a difference. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/love-bodens-message#post-2108827 Wed, 25 Mar 2020 23:17:15 +0000 taylor 2108827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bravo! &nbsp;Pretty clothes always make me happy, &nbsp;more so now than ever!<br />Thank you Angie, for always seeing the glass half full . I crave being around people like you , and messages like Bodens &nbsp;when things look a bit bleak. &nbsp;❤️..Carry on !</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/love-bodens-message#post-2108822 Wed, 25 Mar 2020 23:09:07 +0000 Cardiff girl 2108822@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes I felt that this hit exactly the right tone too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/love-bodens-message#post-2108807 Wed, 25 Mar 2020 22:02:04 +0000 CarolS 2108807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a great message.
