The sweater looks gorgeous on you and I bet you will get tons of wear out if it- what a great investment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-eric-bompard-fitted-v-neck-pullover#post-760864 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 03:23:16 +0000 Freckles 760864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the response Ingunn. I find it hard, being a mere mortal, to judge pieces that I haven`t bought in 30 years or ever. I also just bought a cashmere sweater and I was really wondering about washing it and the quality as compared to others. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-eric-bompard-fitted-v-neck-pullover#post-759789 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 00:39:39 +0000 Parsley 759789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just an FYI for anybody looking at Eric Bompard stuff:</p> <p>Right now there's FREE SHIPPING (even international) until October 31!</p> <p>I'm so tempted to get a sweater. I tried on their turtlenecks when I was in Paris in September, and they definitely run small compared to US sizes. I would recommend sizing up possibly even 2 sizes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-eric-bompard-fitted-v-neck-pullover#post-759756 Sun, 28 Oct 2012 23:50:11 +0000 bj1111 759756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>thanks for the follow up. this is very useful info for planning future purchases. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-eric-bompard-fitted-v-neck-pullover#post-759630 Sun, 28 Oct 2012 19:50:54 +0000 Ingunn 759630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Freckles, I've had a number of 100% merino wool sweaters, and various wool blends with some cashmere included. But this is the first "real" cashmere sweater I've owned. Note that my version is with 30% silk, so not a 100% cashmere this time either. For my purpose, this is a very good sweater at a not too outrageous price. </p> <p>Beth, you are right! The price is in my opinion reasonable, as I'm having trouble finding this quality of sweaters in my local shops at any better price, the opposite is more probable. Thanks for the compliment:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-eric-bompard-fitted-v-neck-pullover#post-759622 Sun, 28 Oct 2012 19:43:16 +0000 Beth 759622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow Ingunn, this sweater looks gorgeous on you. Thanks for the review; I'm off to take a closer look at the website:)</p> <p>Edited to add: OOOH. I see the price is not inexpensive but also not outrageous. Must add to my wish list:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-eric-bompard-fitted-v-neck-pullover#post-759621 Sun, 28 Oct 2012 19:43:00 +0000 Freckles 759621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the great review as well as the added washing instructions.</p> <p>Have you tried other brands of cashmere before Ingunn? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-eric-bompard-fitted-v-neck-pullover#post-759584 Sun, 28 Oct 2012 17:57:23 +0000 Ingunn 759584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bumping:)</p> <p>I've updated the post with a quick note regarding washing of said sweater. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-eric-bompard-fitted-v-neck-pullover#post-748197 Mon, 15 Oct 2012 01:58:58 +0000 Suz 748197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great review - very helpful.

I know that Eric Bompard is known for cashmere. This look utterly gorgeous on you BTW! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-eric-bompard-fitted-v-neck-pullover#post-747945 Sun, 14 Oct 2012 20:35:46 +0000 bj1111 747945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>this is an awesome review. thanks lngunn!</p> <p>i might need to save my pennies for the burgundy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-eric-bompard-fitted-v-neck-pullover#post-747916 Sun, 14 Oct 2012 20:02:32 +0000 moira 747916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cashmere is one of the few things I am willing to spend big bucks on. It feels like baby clothes and is so lush and magnificent. Take good care of it. Get it cleaned a few times a season (not to often) and it should last you for years. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-eric-bompard-fitted-v-neck-pullover#post-747915 Sun, 14 Oct 2012 20:02:21 +0000 Ingunn 747915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm glad it's useful to you! Please don't just take my word for sizing, but have a look at the size charts as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-eric-bompard-fitted-v-neck-pullover#post-747870 Sun, 14 Oct 2012 19:19:13 +0000 Scarlet 747870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the review! I have been thinking about getting one of these for awhile now. Maybe when life settles down a little I will bite the bullet. It seems like one of those things that can be both cozy and instantly pulled together in a simple outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-eric-bompard-fitted-v-neck-pullover#post-747861 Sun, 14 Oct 2012 18:50:36 +0000 Janet 747861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, the colors! The sailing blue, the Bourgogne red... So rich. And the cut looks so nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-eric-bompard-fitted-v-neck-pullover#post-747858 Sun, 14 Oct 2012 18:42:38 +0000 Janet 747858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Ingunn! This is all very helpful info. I just retired an old (12 years maybe?) v-neck cashmere sweater from JCrew that was finally showing its wear, and I wouldn't mind investing in a new one. I'm assuming if I normally wear a US 6/8 I should go for a size large in the fitted cuts. I'm off to take a look at their website... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-eric-bompard-fitted-v-neck-pullover#post-747846 Sun, 14 Oct 2012 18:00:38 +0000 Ingunn 747846@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Some of you already know that I bought a cashmere pullover from Eric Bompard while I was in Paris last week. bj1111 asked for a review, and of course I'm happy to provide that for you! </p> <p>The pullover in question can be seen here: <a href="http://www.eric-bompard.com/lang-en/v-neck-pullovers-women/436-fitted-v-neck-pullover.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.eric-bompard.com/la.....lover.html</a> </p> <p>Initially I thought that I should postpone posting until I've washed the sweater, but I will update this review instead when it's done. The reason why is that I'm going away again this week, and it will not be washed until I return next weekend, at the earliest. I wouldn't lead you to believe that I have forgotten about it. </p> <p>To the point:<br /> The model I chose is a mix of 70% cashmere and 30% silk. It is really toasty, no need to add any layers as long as the temperature is above freezing level. It is actually equally comfortable indoors in temperatures around 20 degrees C and outdoors with only a blazer or leather jacket on top. I'm surprised by how it seems to adjusts to shifts in temperature. I've worn the sweater three times now, and it still looks and smells very clean and fresh. I've worn it for work, out to dinner with a friend, and at home. It is incredibly soft and retains its shape really well. Scrunching the sleeves is no problem, the rib doesn't stretch out of shape at all. It is too early to know whether it's prone to pilling or not, but it really looks good so far.</p> <p>Size: I bought an M, and the sales lady told me to get M in the fitted pullovers, but S in the classic cuts. I tried on a few others, but this one looked best on me. I normally buy S in many brands, but also XS sometimes. For example are most of my American clothes size 4 (mainly BR). I advice you to size up from your regular size if you want to buy the fitted versions from the website. </p> <p>My temporary conclusion is that it is one of the best sweaters I've ever owned, and I will certainly try to get my hand on more of them. It is somewhat expensive, but not outrageously so. I've seen many garments of much poorer quality at a similar price point. I love it already and hope it will last for many seasons! </p> <p>ETA: I've just found out that the French tax (19%) is deducted automatically if you order from outside the EU. That helps, too!<br /> This review will be updated when the sweater has been washed. Stay tuned!</p> <p>ETA 11.28.12: I've now washed the sweater, machine wash, wool cycle, cold, and it is fresh as new. No problems occurred during washing, neither shrinking or misshaping. After wearing it half a dozen times it shows no signs of pilling or any other problems. How come I din't know any sooner how much I need this navy colored v-neck? I think I have to get another one rather sooner than later. </p>
