Command attention with sharp, structured attitude - an alternative top built for those who wear their rebellion with pride.

I unfortunately had an issue with my item (the wrong size garment had been put in the Dark in Love bag by the manufacturer) however the customer service team was super helpful, thank you so so much! Will definitely be purchasing from here again :)
First time shopping with Kate's Clothing, and I will likely be back: staff (or may be the AI, who knows) is really on top of questions asked about the products - I wanted to know the fiber composition and got a very precise response fairly quickly. Check out was painless despite me refusing to use PayPal or other tools, and shipping was pretty quick too. The only thing I noticed, was that the plastic bag the item was wrapped in had been reused multiple times - I'm not mad about it, we have too much plastic anyway, it's just something I noticed (and not in a negative way).
Over all I had a very good experience and am happy to recommend shopping here.
Checked in in the question section to find out about the fiber composition and got a quick and precise response, very much appreciated!
Ordered the cardigan and delivery was pretty quick, packaged reasonably. The cardigan fits loose, which ich fantastic. The sleeves are a fraction too long in relation to the rest, but that works for me, and I love the thumb holes. The quality of the knit is great, and the finish is also pretty good - no loose threads or anything.
Over all very good value for money and I can happily recommend it.
