polinetmoi - Reviews and experiences

I remember putting a blouse in the washing machine and waiting, thinking this might be the test. It came out fine — actually, it was fine, well, mostly fine — and that’s the moment I felt satisfied, weirdly. I’ve ordered their patterned pieces before and liked them, so this felt important. Still, many other items showed loose seams, buttons off after a wash and thinner fabric. Prices climbed too; hope they fix stitching.

I opened the box late September while throwing things in a suitcase for a wedding and my first thought was that the velvet is actually nice to touch — soft, a bit plush. Then I noticed a scuff on one toe and some glue stains near the seam, and, annoyingly, the right heel looked slightly off. I didn’t have time to arrange a return from Greece, so they sat unused. Inner sole felt ok, so with a quick repair they'd probably work, but still, not ideal and a bit frustrating.

lightweight, soft against the skin, easy to move in for errands and the odd coffee meet-up. It did need a small tweak — one side wasn't perfectly even — but that was minor and fixed at the tailor. Initially annoyed, but overall pretty pleased with the wearability.
