Review Title: The Bloomsbury by Pure Collection

Title: The Bloomsbury

Review Title: The item is the Bloomsbury bowling bag that I bought a few days back from Pure Collection website. I was looking to add to my collection of hand bags and for this purpose was visiting lifestyle shops and malls for the past many days. However, I had not been able to get my hands on to a bag that was made from quality material and was classy and elegant too. All of the handbags I came across in the shops were either too flashy colored or were not of the right shape. When I was beginning to lose hope of finding a classy bag for myself, my friend tipped me about the Pure Collection website and asked me to have a look there.

I was surprised to see that great collection of handbags and other accessories on this website. Each of the bags on display there had a certain style and quality that made me interested in buying it. However, since I only had to buy one at that time, I started searching for the one that best suited my style and types of clothing I generally wore. After half an hour of research on the website I was able to finalize the Bloomsbury bowling bag as the one that would become the next addition to my wardrobe.

After making this decision, I did not take much time in placing an order for it and then started waiting for the product to be shipped to me. The order was sent to my doorstep in less than two days, which was a very quick time considering my previous experiences where my orders were sent to me weeks after I had made the purchase. I was delighted to see that the Bloomsbury bowling bag was very lightweight and of the perfect size for me. It had the right amount of pockets in it for me to carry my cell phone, car keys and makeup equipment with me anywhere I went.

I was so excited to have bought this bag that I took it with me the very next day to a party. Everyone at the party liked the bag and praised me for my sense of fashion. Buying this item was a great experience for me as it really added a lot of class to my appearance and got me much praise from my husband, family members and the people at the party. All of my colleagues at work also liked the bag when I took it to my office and asked me the place from where I had bought such an elegant looking purse.

I would like to recommend this amazing product to every woman who wants to carry a classy bag with her to work.

Pros: The Bloomsbury bowling bag is a beautiful and elegant looking hand bag that can go along nicely with any kind of dress. It has a wonderful color and is made from the best quality leather available on the planet. It has many pockets present in it for safekeeping of the necessary items that a woman might want to carry with her. The golden colored zip and leather zip puller further add to the beauty of this amazing hand bag.

Cons: There are no obvious drawbacks or low points of this item and I did not find anything wrong in this product either. So, I am very happy to have bought this bag.

Website Experience: The Pure Collection website from where I bought this bag is a wonderful website that has every item present which a woman would crave for. It has a simple yet classy looking layout with white spaces after every few lines of content which makes viewing a pleasure for the customers. The smartly placed drop down menus make navigating the site an easier task and help the clients in finding the items they are looking for.

The security features of this website are sublime to say the least. The customers are guaranteed complete safety and confidentiality of their private information. The safety protocols of the website are backed by some trusted names in this field which ensures the customers of their reliability.

Review Title: FEATHERWEIGHT CASHMERE CARDIGAN

Title: FEATHERWEIGHT CASHMERE CARDIGAN

Review Body: I love cashmere – there is something about the pure softness of it that makes it so special. It is surely more expensive, but it is worth every bit of the money that you spend. Pure Collection is the website that has the best in pure cashmere clothing. Right now I have my eyes on a really chic cashmere cardigan that is light as a feather – seriously!!

It comes in plain colors as well as an animal print; smoke mother of pearl buttons; tubular trims at the hem, neck and cuff; and soft against the skin. Pure is the sole label to source 100 percent of its cashmere from a sustainable source. Every garment goes through as many as forty hand-finished processes. It makes this some of the softest cashmere that I have ever worn or that you will ever find. It looks good with stone colored jeans. It would look just as good with a nice little skirt for a casual evening out. I know because I already own one that I bought last year.

This staple is a modern cashmere item that is feminine and luxurious and everyone needs to have at least one as it is perfect for layering with its buttons that are mother of pearl and trims that is tubular. This fits fabulously and is a lightweight cardigan that is essential when the weather gets cool. It is 100 percent pure cashmere. My problem is that I can’t decide which color I really need now.

I wish I was so rich that I could say – “I’ll take one in every color, thank you.” But, I’m not so I have to pick just one color. It’s between rose and a light blue.

Pure Collection is an expert on all things cashmere. They also understand what colors look best in cashmere. Luxury cashmere is cool in summer and warm in winter, so it can be worn all year round. On their website, they have excellent articles about cashmere – what colors are best, how to take care of it and from where the best cashmere comes from.

Pure Collection was begun in 2002 by two people whose family history was all about trading in the best cashmere for generations back. This experience and knowledge was priceless. They wanted to develop the range of cashmere that was high quality, but at a more affordable price so everyone could afford the luxury of cashmere.

By 2006 Pure Collection has become one of the premier online and mail order leaders in cashmere items. They are now a full-fledged women’s wear brand, built around the design philosophy of classic chic, which is ideal for the modern standard of living and is definitive in luxury that is understated.

I dated a guy in college that I brought home for one of the holidays. My mother offered to wash our clothes and washed and dried my boyfriend’s cashmere sweater – it shrunk up until it couldn’t fit my Barbie doll. This is when I learn that there is a special way to care for cashmere.

Pros: Exceptional colors, very lightweight, extremely comfortable, very flattering, and very stylish. Everything feels better when it is made of cashmere. This cashmere is very soft, stylish, versatile, and perfect for whatever season it is.

Cons: With cashmere? There aren’t any!

Website Experience: I went exploring the website us.purecollection.com and it has some interesting areas to offer. They have some very nice blazers in one section made from linen – very trendy. Then they had an area of clearance items where you can really find some bargains. The website is very clean looking, basically of only two main colors. The navigation is good as I didn’t get lost – navigation bar is over the top of each page. The website also features the hover technology where when you hover over an item it magnifies it. It’s truly an excellent and well-designed website.

Final Notes: Excellent website and I so much love cashmere. This is an excellent site for Pure Natural cashmere. Once you begin wearing cashmere, it will be hard to find a fabric you like as well. Cashmere works well for casual wear, for travel, for work, for going out and for layering. It is perfect for every situation.

Review Title: Heaven in Silk-Trim T-Shirts

Title: SILK TRIM T-SHIRT

Review Body: I have found some t-shirts that are absolutely heaven to wear. They are featured by Pure Collection Best of British Style and they are silk-trim t-shirts. These t-shirts are feminine and absolutely beautiful. They have soft silk crepe de trim around the scoop neck that has been updated in new shades for the season and I have already ordered mine. I also have some that I ordered several months ago and they are so comfortable.

These are everyday staples for women – for the layered look and they have 3-quarter length sleeves, made from soft cotton rib fabric and are so very comfortable. To care for them you just need to hand wash and hang to dry.

The shirts are 23.5 inches length from shoulder to hem and it is comparable to a USA size 6. With larger and smaller sizes the length will vary accordingly. That was all the information I had to figure out my size, together with their sizing chart and when I ordered the first three I was holding my breath until they arrived. They fit perfectly. I was worried about ordering sizes from a British store, but it was all handled very well which means that they realized a potential problem and planned for it ahead of time.

Pure Collection is a full-fledged women’s wear brand that is built around the design principal of classic chic which is perfect for the new lifestyle that is modern as well as ultimate in luxury that is slightly understated. I could get use to this new and modern lifestyle. The heart of this brand is only the finest materials and cashmere – they have majority of their products in cashmere. Not just cashmere, but cashmere from Mongolia which is where the finest cashmere comes from. It is the same with all the other materials they use – only pure cotton and pure silk.

For what a client actually gets, the price is less than I was expecting on most of their clothes. Pure Collection supports the charity and the work of the Christina Noble Children’s Foundation (CNCF) in Mongolia. Mongolia is specifically close to their hearts as this is the source of all the cashmere that they use in their cashmere products, making the perfect choice for their charitable efforts to be CNCF.

The t-shirts I ordered last year were some of the most comfortable t-shirts I have ever worn to the point that they are unlike any t-shirts produced for any company in the USA. I find it hard to believe that the internet is now selling garments of this quality. My new order is for the same shirts, but for the new colors for spring and summer I also ordered some cashmere that was in the clearance section.

Pros: Quality fabric with silk trim, shipped on time, good quality for the money, comfortable and they fit great. It was easy to convert their sizing chart into US sizes.

Cons: I loved this product so there were no cons for me.

Website Experience:

The website us.purecollection.com’s browsing was easy to navigate through lots of products with interesting stories about their business and the charity that they support. They also have a wonderful section of clearance items where I could have spent my whole budget quickly, so I didn’t stay very long.

They were able to convey the quality of their products by their website which is very hard to do in the internet culture we currently live in. They have a free swatch service where a client can request up to eight free color swatches merely by filling out a form and selecting which colors in which fabric you need. They will then put them in the mail in 2 to 3 days.

Final Notes: I am still amazed at the quality of this product as well as this website being able to convey that with only pictures and words. They also have great customer service and go beyond what other retail websites do to make a client happy and willing to spend money with them.
