Just curious - has anyone got a pair of these?  I keep seeing them online and saw a pair today (in the flesh as it were).  They didn't have my size (although I'm currently in flux anyway) and they certainly don't fit my pocket BUT are they really worth it?

I wonder if it's worth looking out for a special offer!

Oh - and there was I ready to admit that I can't fit into my daughter's jeans ............

As you can guess, I can't help you - I've never heard of them :)

Edited to add that I have just googled them and 'cough' they're a bit pricey aren't they :) :)

It's all in US$ which is set at a reasonable price, where do you get them over here? Sure they are much more expensive..?

Yes, found a brand new pair in a charity shop for £4.99! 
They are very flattering, no doubt about it, very well designed and when I first got them I loved them so much I really thought I would buy another pair when needed despite the price. 
However, I have been very disappointed in the way they have washed.  I have followed the instructions explicitly in terms of temperature and washing inside out but, nevertheless, they have faded (they were black) and lost quite a bit of their elasticity so I will not be replacing them. 
I have a pair of Per Una jeans that are a pretty good sustitute for a fraction of the cost and they are wearing perfectly well.

> I have a pair of Per Una jeans

I only buy M&S jeans. They are very good value for money :)

If you Google there are several places that stock them - between £79 and £169.  The top end price manages to make £79 seem like a bargain!!

I wonder if they're really worth that?  If I spent less on food I'd lose a size AND save money.  Got to make more economic sense than these jeans - surely...

...although I like the sound of the charity shop bargain - but the wash effect isn't good news is it Stooge

> If I spent less on food I'd lose a size AND save money. 

Well thats the irony isn't it.  If you buy these jeans you can't afford to eat for week :)

I have tried them various designs but unfortunately dont do what it says oon the packet for me. I di however buy a pair of similarly expensive jeans a french make that although did what I wanted In the shop when I started wearing them on a daily basis I discovered that the move down my body therefore giving me muffin tops or rather revealing what I was trying to hold in.

Have decided that I definitely need those up to wear my waist is not where designers think it is and am trying to lose the weight I need to lose before buying anymore. Currenlty wearing a pair of primark ££ jeans that wriggle down just as much Lol

Haven't you heard of "As cheap as chips" Stooge?  :)  :)

I have a pair, and yes they are worth it, shop around, they can veary in price,

P.S its not about making you look slimmer,  its the overall fit of the jean as well.

I have FDJ jeans and although they are expensive They are very very comfortable. They wash and wear well and come up high on the waist so no muffin tops.

i have not tried these jeans,but i will order loads and loads from the catalogues,try them on,write down the brand,size and fit of the ones i like,send them ALL back and buy them on ebay :)
I love bootcut or flare low rise jeans,i have levis for under a fiver,fcuk for 2 pounds,diesel and miss sixty,all like new and from ebay,if you know what you are looking for,it saves tons of money,seen this brand on ebay for around a tenner

> If you Google there are several places that stock them - between £79 and £169

I could never, ever bring myself to buy a pair of jeans that cost anywhere near that amount. The top end price is my clothing budget for a year.

Ditto and it's not that I couldn't afford them either.  I feel extravagant buying a £35 per of Per Una jeans (although the pair I have on at the moment cost £7 in M&S) :) :) But they do last me for years as they go from 'best' to 'everyday' to 'gardening' to 'decorating' and finally get thrown out when they have 4 inch holes in them :) :) :) Can't imagine what an extra £100 can give ? :) :) :)

I have a pair of NYDJ jeans - paid £30 for them on Ebay as they had been worn a couple of times (but looked as new really). I wouldn't pay ridiculous money for jeans but these are v comfy and have washed well so far. It's worth checking out Ebay as lots of people seem to buy the wrong size and then end up selling their NYDJs later ;-)

> as lots of people seem to buy the wrong size and then end up selling their NYDJs later 

Amazing that people will spend that money on jeans and then don't even wear them !! More money than sense (the old sayings are still the best :) :) ) ! I hate the hassle of having to package things up and send them back, so always buy clothes where I can return them (or try them on) easily :) :) :)

> I hate the hassle of having to package things up and send them back

Me too.  I must confess that I sometimes try sizes in a shop, and then buy on the internet if I know I can get them cheaper.

Actually, it's hard to know how best to support high street retailers.  I hate to see them closing stores, or going out of business but I can't afford to shop there when they are undercutting themselves so much online.  Recently Craghoppers had a 70% sale online but when I visited their 'Factory Shop' at Clarks Village their items were significantly more expensive and they didn't have the sizes...

> I feel extravagant buying a £35 per of Per Una jeans

My Per Una were also from a charity shop :)  Jeans, especially seem to be something people buy in a "hopeful" size ;) and then find the diet never does work and off to the charity shop they go :)

> seem to be something people buy in a "hopeful" size

Oh, I've given up being 'hopeful - just 'realistic' now :) :)

> Jeans, especially seem to be something people buy in a "hopeful" size and then find the diet never does work

I think also because of the fit you can easily shift between jean sizes, and then again those sizes vary so much between shops.  I was having a conversation with someone at a dog show recently who said she can be one size in M&S and up to 2 sizes different in another store!!

Even in one store the sizes change: at M&S customer services over Christmas I watched (and listened to) a woman as she explained to the assistant that she'd ordered exactly the same size online as she'd bought in store the week before only to discover that her 'internet' trousers were 2 inches longer and half an inch bigger all over.  The shop assistant compared labels, bar codes etc then said it's not an uncommon complaint.

Cruising charity shops recently I've noticed a lot of 'new' items for sale, complete with original labels and price tags.  I wonder if these are people that forgot to send their items back within the deadline?

I'll stick with my £10 Tesco ones last years and wash brilliantly!

> I wonder if they're really worth that?

Seriously!!!?? come on!! (*_*)

In fairness though I have to say my Mum swears by hers, for comfort lift and support, but I really think you can still find well cut well made good looking jeans that are not lowslung and Muffin top inducing at most good mainstream retailers for a fraction of the cost. (she has a pair of Fat Face ones that I think look muccccch nicer on her, in fact!)

I can also say that (from my line of work) there is a massive glutt of fakes out there,(some frighteningly well done.. but even though they may be 'good quality' remember the money funds people trafficking and criminal gangs ultimately. Not the pockets I'd want to line no matter how far down the triangle you are as purchaser!) the true EBay bargains of genuine sellers selling for a lot less than retail are few and far between you'll find them in the Scotch Mist in fact ;-)

I always have trouble with jeans, a lot of them seem to have a huge saggy area at the back as others have commented. I quite like my blue jeans from Debenhams classic range, but when I got a pair in black, same size, same style, same range as the blue ones, lo and behold they were a size too small and had the saggy bit again!!!

> xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">I always have trouble with jeans

me too which is why i would definitely consider buying  more expensive type of jean if it fitted well and looked good. I wear them often enough (every week!) to get my moneys worth from them.
Some would say spending £60 on a pair of hunter wellies or drinving around in an expensive car is a waste of money. It just depends on what you feel is worthwhile spending your money on i guess.

I have FDJ jeans and although they are expensive

Have a those too, out of them both I prefer the FDJ, but find them harder to get hold of.

I have several pairs and love them. They are so comfortable - worth the money.
Yes, the black ones do fade but I've found all the black jeans I've ever bought have faded.

I re dye black jeans that fade and it keeps them going really well :)

A quick update.  I found a pair of 'Not Your Daughter's Jeans' in a charity shop a couple of weeks ago, they fit me perfectly (or they will now I've shortened them a bit) and I really like them.  They are incredibly comfortable and I like the slight hold it in effect.

Better still - I only paid £3.50 ! :)

Jammy begger ! lol.

I have never heard of these but will have a look on e bay
