Pumpkin Patch Quality?

We had one pair of boots which lost the front of the sole within a couple of days, but they replaced them and we haven't had any other probs.

I agree the quality of pp has gone down hill big time, they still charge but you certainly dont get the length of time out of the clothes. I have actually started getting more things at JK's it seems good and to be honest not as common as pp.

Yip lost buttons and undone seams here too. I don't even buy very much PP but everything I do buy seems to fall apart. I know they will replace it but I don't really have the time to take it in.

Funny that you say that about JK as I've had far more quality issues with them lately than Patch - lil miss had a skirt that was red and white and the red bled into the white as soon as I washed it, a dome came off her (very expensive!) merino cardy and another t-shirt we bought had the dome missing when we bought it but I didn't realise.

They are very good at exchanging/refunding tho!

I have only once bought stuff from PP but have been given a few things...

A few bibs - the domes fell off within the first few washes

Pants - they had a 50% off so bought some cool boys check pants - the buttonhole ending up ripping after a lot of wear but it's not like they were tight so thought that was a bit odd. Also had some cord-like pants that were great (again 50% off) but with a crawler, all the cord rubbed off and they just looked BAD! So they became DC pants.

Actually, come to think of it, we were given a PP jersey that ended up pulling (knitted cotton) by the shoulders after a few wears. So all in all, we've had pretty bad experiences with PP stuff.

I personally don't see the value in it all. I find Teeny Weeny stuff from farmers and even Warehouse stuff of better quality most of the time, and a better fit for a cloth bum in boys.

Yep I've found it. MIL buys daniel PP stuff and a pair of shoes had part of the sole come undone/unstuck on day 2. The pants have seems coming undone. Yet his warehouse and tnt stuff hasn't got anything wrong with it despite him being outside all the time and putting the clothes through hell lol

I am with Emma, having issues with JK quality. Holes along the seams of things only worn/washed a couple of times.

I dont tend to buy PP cos its too expensive, in fact of the things we have I have only purchased some socks and DH bought his coming home outfit. All of its ok... I guess though I am buying bubs stuff not toddler so not getting the same wear and tear?

we bought a heap of PP ahead of time for her when it was at the HUB etc - have to say we lost heaps of domes and buttons and some stuff shrunk! glad we didnt buy at full price! annoying as PP is more a special weekend or function outfit.

JK (which we had heaps of after the catalogue shoot) was awesome - she wore and wore the tops which washed very well. Havent lost buttons or domes off JK stuff at all. I tend to get casual stuff from there tho for daycare as it is hardwearing but looks good.

I LOVE cotton on stuff - and most washes up well. I have had two tops for her from there that bled - one was from factory shop tho. The recent stretch cotton tops from them would be the best quality of anything I have seen in NZ! havent had issues of anything falling apart from them either.

we luckily have loads of american stuff - fisher price / nick jr clothes and they are so superior to anything in nz - except maybe the latest cotton on tops we got!

Yes, I agree with the quality going downhill. Most often, the buttons that control the waist size seem to come off, which is SO annoying (esp when you have a skinny wee bub like mine!). But, I have had the same problem with JK.

Years ago my mum used to buy all my sister's stuff from T&T and I remember it being rubbish.... but now I myself find it really good quality and very cheap when sales are on. And you can pick it up for next to nothing on TradeMe, and they do good quantities of 'middle' sizing - 6-9months. The 6-12 months clothes from PP are all still HUGE on Jackson.

I also struggle with Farmers Clothing. I bought a onesie the other day, and four of the five domes came off in the first wash. Unfortunately I had not kept the receipt. What a waste of money.

We have lost a dome off the crutch of a one piece and had some seam issues also.
Not loving the colours for the boys selection this winter either
