Ask Inge: opinion on this brand?

Hi Inge

I just love the cut and style of this jacket I found on polyvore

http://www.wehkamp.nl/damesmod.....8;AAPP=200

but it is a dutch brand and I don't know anything about the quality and although I can read a bit to understand what it is made of, I cannot read well enough. Your opinion, have you ever heard of this site/brand? It is cheap enough to be under the limit for Norwegian VAT, but that is not necessarily a good thing when it comes to quality. Seems to be made of cotton with elastin?

Hi Jayne,

I don't think I've ever ordered something from Wehkamp, but I do know the company. It's a mail order company like 3Suisse, they used to sell via catalogue only, but now both have websites too. I can't really attest to the quality of their products, but I see there are two reviews for this jacket and I'll add a translation below.

It is a fun jacket, and I love all three colours.

The description says:
Fabric: 65% cotton, 30% polyester, 5% elastane.
Product name: Miss Etam Regulier Blazer
Product description: Single coloured, slim-fitting women's blazer. The blazer has long sleeves with crinkle effect, lapel collar, ornamental buttons, and closes with 1 button.

Review 1:
Very nice, stylish jacket that can be worn both in a sporty fashion with jeans, and with dressy trousers and shirt. Runs small, but I kept it anyway because I love how it looks on me.
5 stars for all criteria: price/quality ratio / meets expectations / like the look and style / fit

Review 2:
Very beautiful blazer. It definitely gets you noticed. Very nice for Summer when it's a little cooler. I got my regular size and it fits well. I'm very happy with this blazer.
5 stars for all criteria.

FWIW: I don't think you need to be hesitant to place an order with this company. The well-known European mail order companies all have a good reputation for speedy delivery and honouring their terms of use.

Also: the blazer is actually by the brand called "Miss Etam", so it's not a house brand of Wehkamp. Miss Etam is a well-known Dutch brand. When I was in my early twenties I had a few Miss Etam bras (they didn't sell the clothing line in Belgium), the quality was fine. I'd say better than H&M, sorry I can't be of more help evaluating the quality of this jacket.

They also have it on their own website:

Extra info:
- length: 53 cm for size 38 or Medium
