Deer & Cross Distressed Sweater Review - eBay Purchase

I’m sorry for the quality of the photos I only have my phone for a camera and so I use instagram as a shortcut to edit them. Also this was an order and review I did back in early May 2013 before I had this blog. This is not a sponsored review 

I’ve been wanting one for a while. Was just holding off while I was waiting for other things to arrive. I finally bought it though
(Sold out now)


Cost: $15.99

Shipping: Free~
It was marked as posted the day after I paid for it. It arrived about 2-3 days earlier than the estimated time of delivery which is a bonus in my books. 

Item: 
It is a light weight jumper, slightly sheer. Be careful of pulling threads, however luckily it is a distressed jumper so you can pass off any holes you make as part of the design (I haven’t made any holes yet though :p). I believe it is a wildfox couture knock off, that doesn’t bother me so much. No way was I going to pay $230 or whatever for a distressed sweater…sorry. Though I imagine if you were to pay $230 you would get a more sturdy garment. This one feels fragile, like I said before beware of pulling threads and keep it in mind when you wash it. I have slept in this, it held up fine through that which surprised me so maybe it’s more durable than I think.

I really like this garment overall. My only concern is durability. I wasn’t expecting great quality, knowing it was probably just a knock off, so I am quite content with what I got for $16.


Buy it: HERE

Price: $12.23
This was the cheapest I could find from a seller with good feedback (98.5%) on eBay. I tried to buy a few months ago from a seller I have bought from before, a reliable seller, but they contacted me saying after they had tried to send it to me their customs officer had returned it to them because it had a hole in the packaging and the garment was damaged. They couldn’t send a replacement because they felt the new tops they had got in were not the same as the one they had tried to send me, the color was different. They actually advised me not to buy it from them because they disliked the color so much. They refunded me and I was worried I wouldn’t have the sweater I wanted.

I was reluctant from buying from any other seller on eBay, there were cheaper sweaters but their images either didn’t look the right color or their feedback was a bit too iffy in my opinion. I really wanted the violet, I’ve been wanting this sweater for ages but some of them were listed as light blue and used both the light blue color and violet color in their pictures.

Shipping: $1.99
Bargain~ It arrived nice and compact, wrapped well with no damage in transit.

Communication: 
Was actually really good for a sale I didn’t even need to contact them for. They sent me a personal email once it had been shipped with an estimated delivery time and a few days after I received the item they sent another one asking if I had received my item yet.

Item: 
I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the item. I was suspecting it to be delicate like the similar style distressed deer sweater I reviewed a while ago. It is made of a stretchier, more sturdy material. It’s still slightly sheer, the fibre has a metallic sheen to it and the color is exactly what I wanted. I am really happy with this purchase.

Overall: 
100% satisfied. Would buy from this seller on eBay with no hesitation again.
