I really have fallen in love with Gudruns’s designs. Most are very casual and comfy, but depending on accessories could be worn for any occasion. I find that many have interesting or intricate stitching details, and are obviously well made. There are a couple of items that are very thin and see-through, but on most I find I am surprised by how substantial the material is, the fabric patterns are lovely, and the clothing is fun to layer with different designs and colors. I have washed some of the pieces many times, but in all I have found no dye transfer and nothing close to “falling apart”. The catalogues and website are beautiful to look at, and there are a lot of extra pages with neat craft ideas using Gudrun designs and fabrics. But, I can use up a lot of time just looking at the products: clothes and accessories, curtains, rugs and pillows, and a whole lot more. The items seem pricey but I routinely scan the sale pages where I have found better prices on the clothes and great prices on accessory items like tights and leggings, socks, great scarves, and I found a beautiful handmade belt at a fraction of the original cost. I have also bought clothes on eBay and I’m sure there are other online sites. By and large I have been happy with my purchases, and for now I enjoy just browsing the products.
