Naartjie

[kim]

ok, i'll fess up i've been scoping them out :lol:.

anybody have any? how do you like it? fit? quality?

i hear only good things on the loops/boards and i'm anxious to buy :awink:

[Nicole]

I've been dying for Naartjie too but the thing that puts me off, besides the cost, is having to order from stores, no online orders. It just seems to be a pain. But they are just so cute and I love how everything can mix and match!

[Eva]

I have been admiring naartjie but the having to order from the stores really puts me off as well. It seems like a hassel especailly since I am in Canada. I tried to win a few things on ebay but no luck so far.

[magoo]

I'd never heard of that line, but I took a look. Most of it is really cute. I didn't really like the dresses, but I did like most of the rest of it. :)

[sheila]

:banghead: When will I learn not to come to threads kim starts about products?

These clothes are so cute!

[Brandi]

Do you have a link?

[AahRee]

Nicole, there are stores somewhat near you, aren't there? I know there's one near my mom (in the Sacramento area). I think there are some further south as well. :dunno:

As for me, I LOVE the looks of these clothes, and am planning to send my mom on a shopping trip for Katie sometime soon. I don't actually think they're that expensive - less than Gymboree's regular prices, right? I've been eyeing them for months now, and just biding my time until my mom's schedule calmed down a little so I could send her to shop for me. :lol:

[Karri]

OH MY GOSH! I LOVE THEM! KIM! Why must you do this to me :lol: You make me into more of a shopping monster than I already am :lol: :nono:

Great....and there isnt one around here. Now I have to rely on ebay. Unless I can bribe Nichole... hmnnnn..........

[Silke]

Those clothes kinda remind me of European clothes. Interesting name. Where are they made?

[kim]

they're a south african brand, i don't know where the clothes are made though.

karri you order from the stores :biggrin:. you can call or email them.

[Lyndee]

I've bought from Naartjie. Cute stuff- not terribly expensive either. But it's such a pain to shop because you can't buy off the website. If the stuff is on the sale page, you'll have to call or email the stores yourself. You have to call/email your order.

I liked the stuff I got for Lauryn but from seeing other posts from the BBB, their sizes tend to be inconsistent.

Ebay has a bunch of Naartjie stuff too- and I they're definitely not as popular as Gymboree so you can actually get things without getting into bidding wars.

[Karri]

OIC :biggrin: I misread. Thought you had to do it in person. :doh:

[jennp]

We have one at our mall a mile away...I'd be happy to shop for anyone :)

[Lyndee]

Thanks for the offer JennP!

Oh, another gripe that I have-- the Naartjie website is so difficult to navigate and their lines (names and colors) are so difficult to figure out-- makes for difficult shopping.

[Bonnie]

We have one very close and I bought a ton of stuff at their recent sale... It was possibly the best clothing sale I have ever been to... The clothes were at rockbottom prices and then an additional 40% off that, so I stocked up on stuff for my girls, as in short sleeve shirts for Courtney in about 8 colors in 12-18 and 18 -24 months for about $2.00 each! Sweatshirts for $4 each... long sleeve shirts for Caroline, reduced from $16 to about $5... I think it is kind of unique looking stuff which is a nice break from Gymboree, Gap and Old Navy.

[Lyndee]

[QUOTE=kim]they're a south african brand, i don't know where the clothes are made though.

[QUOTE]

All the stuff I got were made in South Africa.

[Kathryn]

:lol: Sheila... I was just thinking the same thing... kim where do you find all these things?? :biggrin::banghead: When will I learn not to come to threads kim starts about products?

These clothes are so cute!

[kim]

:lol: Sheila... I was just thinking the same thing... kim where do you find all these things?? :biggrin:
i get around the 'net :blush1:

[Karri]

Kim is a net whore :lol2:

[Kathryn]

:lol:Kim is a net whore :lol2:

[Jeni]

I totally agree, I CANNOT look at thread that Kim starts:lol: Those clothes look so soft:)

[Julie]

Hmmmm, I am going to San Diego this weekend, maybe I should take a look :lol:

[Lyndee]

Yeah, I was so close but so far away! I was in LA a few weeks ago for an unofficial HS reunion and we had dinner in Glendale- right across the street from the Glendale Galleria where there is a Naartjie store. I was in LA only for 24 hours and I decided not to go to the mall (I'm really regretting that though!)

[Brooke]

We have one very close .Bonnie - where is it? We'll be in San Diego for a week in March and I can convince DH to stop in.

[Brandi]

Thanks Kim - I love that you "get around!"

[kim]

ok...after approx 1 day of trying NOT to order something...i ordered one thing.

rib new rose dress. in cloud which is the sample color

[Nicole]

Anne~ There aren't any close, but we are going to Sacramento next week! Must stay out of Naartjie, or maybe I must go shop since they're having a great sale!

[kim]

i ordered the dress above on wednesday and got it on friday. i love it! we (my 15yr old niece and i. i've hooked her on baby fashion :lol: ) tried it on gianna yesterday. it is totally adorable! BUT it does run short....maybe because most people put leggings underneath? i know gianna is tall for her age but i put the naartjie dress up against a gymbo dress in the same size and the gymbo is over an inch longer.

so i've got a loopie looking for the matching pants for me today :lol: i'm outta control.

[Lyndee]

Kim- their dresses do run short and that's why you must buy the leggings! Their sizing is all over the place sometimes. I got Lauryn some size 2T jeans that are just huge (and I have a big kid!)

[Julie]

I was in the San Diego store on Friday, and the girl stuff is so cute! But the boy stuff leaves alot to be desired, so I was saved again :lol:

Brooke - The store is at UTC.

[Bonnie]

Brooke - The store is at UTC.
They had some really cute boy stuff in their winter collection, Julie, so maybe you should stay away next year :lol: It was so cute I got a couple of boy sweatshirts for my girls!

[Lyndee]

:bullhorn: Free shipping at Naartjie ($50 min) until Wednesday

[Nicole]

SO I made it to the Naartjie in Sacramento, Arden Fair Mall, and it was wonderful!! I limited myself to 3 outfits for Addy and 2 dresses for Abby the first day but then we went back and I decided to buy outfits for Easter there since I was so unimpressed with the Easter stuff at Gymbo. I was going to post pics but the site is down.

I did happen to meet their webmaster when I was in the store and gave her my opinion on what's wrong with the site and they're working on making it easier to navigate. Still no plans for online ordering though...

[jennp]

I had a horrible time resisting buying an outfit for Morgan yesterday when I was there!

[Nicole]

They've got a 15% off sale going until the 16th for those who are interested.

Here's a picture of my girls in the Easter Naartjie
http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b5dd27b3127cce90db7b2454f800000016108AYtmLho0ZNN

[Nichole]

I just received a mailer that says they're opening a store right near where I live! It has a 25% grand opening notice/coupon, so I may have to swing by and see what all the fuss is about. ;)

(Bonnie - it's at North County Faire)

[Eva]

How do their clothes run in size in comparison to other brands? I am watching something on ebay right now.

[~Jenn]

Okay, this thread is a big reason why I wanted to be able to post again! I discovered Naartjie last fall (I'm betting the same place as Kim did...BBB?), and fell in love! Honestly, I thought that the calling the stores to order would be a pain, but it was really okay! They were *so* easy to deal with, and I had *no* issues having anything shipped to Canada! I didn't have anything I wanted in particular, so asked them to send stuff in the colours I liked, and gave them the sizes that I figured the girls would be this spring/summer coming (this was their end-of-season clearance, so there wasn't a ton of stuff left). I picked it up at the house the other day (left it there over the winter), and I still love it! I can't wait to have their pictures taken in it!

And, Teagan wore a Naartjie dress/capris set for her Christening in October. I know it's not a traditional Christening out, but she was also 18 months old at the time. And, I loved it! And their stuff really is *so* soft!

Let's see if I remember how to do pictures (they aren't great, but you'll get an idea at least!)...

Top of dress...
http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b4ce11b3127cce9c7bc4b8c8fd00000046118QZuGLZu4aS

Bottom of dress and capris (with a poncho thingy that she wanted to wear)...
http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b4ce11b3127cce9c7bc4a6c8e300000046118QZuGLZu4aS

I'm pretty sure that this was an 18-24M size, and she could easily wear it again this spring/summer (it'll never be this white again though!)...that's the beauty of the dress/pants/capris thing!

And, hey, I ended up with two of these outfits (two different stores), so if anyone is interested, let me know...one is NWT.

[Jeni]

That is beautiful Jenn! I got Jayden a pair of shorts off of Ebay, and they are SOOO soft!

[Eva]

I made the plunge. :) I bought an outfit off a woman on GR and it arrived today. Too cute. I love the colour and it is no nice and soft. It is the clear butterfly tunic and pants. :) Here is a couple of pictures:

[Karri]

I got got Norah her first Naartjie outfit, as well ('poppies' dress in fluffy with calf-length pants that have ruffles on the bottom in ribbon). She wore it in one of her 18 mo pics. As soon as we get them, I will have to post a photo. I got it in 18-24 months b/c I read the dresses ran small and she def. has lots of room to grow in it!

[kim]

eva that's a great color on her!

karri i was waiting for you to post!

gianna has several naartjie outfits now. most bought on the loops or on GR. i haven't bought any summer stuff though, i've been buying ahead for fall/winter :biggrin: i'll post some pics later.

[Karri]

I soooo want to buy some of that new rose stuff for Norah for fall :nod: I just love how it looks on G!!!! But I hate to speculate about her size. Hopefully I can score on ebay maybe mid-summer or so. :crossfing

[AahRee]

I just ordered from Naartjie for Katie, Marcus and Mia. I got the Poppy Flower Poplin Dress in white for Katie (big girls): http://www.naartjie.homestead.com/saleitems/girlkidsaleitems.html

And for Mia (baby girls): http://www.naartjie.homestead.com/saleitems/girlbabysaleitems.html

And for Marcus, I got the Treatment Tee with Skater Embroidery and the Cracker Pocket Overall. : http://www.naartjie.homestead.com/saleitems/boybabysaleitems.html

I tried to copy the pictures, but it didn't work, so the links are just to the sale pages. The prices on the sale stuff are AMAZING! Way better than I've seen on ebay. Check it out!

[Karri]

Anne - that will look cute!
Norah has that dress :aok:

i just posted this in my journal.

this is the new rose dress and pants in cloud.

http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b5d828b3127cce924ca0f166ca00000016108KaM2zVuzo

i also just picked up another bellabloom set from last fall's line. i love bellabloom.

http://www.cpjconsult.com/ebay/dd3.jpg

i've been picking up last year's winter stuff for months now. besides the above i have:

bellabloom dress in orange
bellabloom dress in cliff
butterfly dress, pants and shirt in butter
tye dye dress in guava
vertical stripe tye dye shirt in raspberry/orange and raspberry leggings. seller threw in m2m bows too! so damn cute.

hmm...what else :scratch:

the new line is supposed to come out next week. it's fall transition. i am :pant: to see it.

How hard would this be to find a duplicate in?? :scratch: Since I have to buy everything in twos, it makes it kinda difficult :lol:

[AahRee]

Karri ~ Great minds think alike! I have to say that I like the cut of the baby girls dress better than the big girls, but what can you do?

Kim ~ I LOVE that picture of Gianna! Too cute! Someday she's going to kill you for that bow, though! :lol: Where are you getting all of your Naartjie stuff? Everytime I check ebay, things are selling for more than what I'd pay if I just ordered from the store. :dunno: Since Katie is WAY bigger than Gianna, you won't be hurting your supply if you let me in on your secret! :lol:

[kim]

mm....not sure what line that is. brb.

[kim]

anne, i am a pro at searching ebay, don't forget at the bottom of your search results to click 'see buy it now items in stores'. i have found a few things there, like a muslin dress for summer for like $6 (orange tye dye. see a pattern with me yet? :lol:). i check multiple times a day and i sort by new listings first.

i got one of the bellabloom dresses, the tye dye dress in guava and the set in the pic on ebay. i got the vertical tye dye set, a bellabloom dress on GR when the bst was open. and i got the butterfly stuff on the loops as a set.

i started buying the winter stuff in like feb..so i got good deals cuz everyone else was looking for spring/summer stuff.

[AahRee]

Smart! I think that way when I sell (I'm sitting on a ton of Gymbo stuff that I won't list until fall because it's all cool weather stuff) but I forget to do the reverse for when I shop. :duh: I'll have to check the ebay stores, too. I never think to do that.

ok, that's from happy spot/anglaise line from summer of '04. might be a bit tough to find. you might have luck on the loops.

i think that pic is dark. here's the old line link for that dress....i think that color is what the girl has on?
http://naartjie.homestead.com/summer2o2004/girlbabysummer2dresses.html

as you can see, i know a bit about naartjie :lol: once i obsess, i'm all in.

[Shanna]

I like it even better now, Kim!!! THanks :lol:

[kim]

anything i can do to suck others into my world :lol:

i keep looking at that pic and ya, it's dark. naartjie tags are white! those look yellow :lol:

[Shanna]

Well.. now I'm going to be on a mission to find a 2nd one of those :lol:

[AahRee]

What are these loops of which you speak? I think I need to be in the loop! (Blech, that was horrible! :lol: )

[kim]

'loops' are yahoo groups! like strollerswap but for clothing nutjobs like myself. i belong to 20 different loops from diaper bags to naartjie and gymbo.

go to yahoo groups and search on naartjie. some of the bigger loops are capped but you can still apply. if you need a referral, send me a pm.

[Shanna]

I joined several Naartjie loops... I'm not sure if I"m on any of the same ones as you though.. I'm on several loops too :nod: A few are for twins only :lol:

[JustJen]

I don't know this one, although I saw that they are putting one in at the new addition to the mall here.

[Bridget]

Kim, I love that picture - what a beautiful daughter. I also love the rose outfit!! I don't have much luck finding stuff on the actual website - maybe because they're in between seasons? For newborns anyway I can only find like one thing. I definitely need to spend more time on Yahoo.:bee:

[Jillian]

How do the leggings for under the dresses run size wise?

[Jillian]

One more question. If I really like something I see on E-bay how much in general should a dress/bloomers set go for? (in 12-18 or 18-24...I don't remember what size it was)

[gulp!]

I just emailed in my first ever Naartjie order. :biggrin: I'm so digging their clothes, and I shopped their sale stuff, so I got 7 things for just over $50! Nothing was more than $9.99, though I was tempted by a dress that was $15 and a pair of pants that were only $12. Good thing Emma already has a full closet!

I didn't see anything on sale for Krishan, but I'll have to check back on the boys stuff this fall.

I'm so excited to try this stuff on Emma! I have no idea about sizing, though. Hopefully it'll be generally true to size.

[kim]

One more question. If I really like something I see on E-bay how much in general should a dress/bloomers set go for? (in 12-18 or 18-24...I don't remember what size it was)

i think the leggings are true to size and any bloomer type pants run big? not sure since i don't have any of those type but i read they are big-ish.


stef is gettin' succcccked in :lol:

[gulp!]

Maybe not, Kim. They only had 2 of the 7 items I ordered, and they were the 2 I liked least. I'm wondering if I should email a different store? I emailed Glendale.

[kim]

i would call stoneridge. i believe they are the biggest store, hence more inventory.

[Karri]

Stef - when I emailed Arden Fair, I said that if they didnt have it, I wanted them to check their other stores and let me know if they had it. I also asked them to suggest other things to me if they didnt have what I wanted. I had wanted some mid calf pants and they didnt have them, but they had some other ones that went w/ the dress that never occurred to me that they would look good together. KWIM? And they were on clearnace, too.

[AahRee]

The lady at the Arden Fair store that I worked with was really helpful. I basically called and told her I wanted matching dresses for the girls, and I wanted her to find a coordinating outfit for the boy, all in sale stuff, and she did it, no problem, walking all around the store to put together outfits and then telling me the names of the pieces so I could see them online while we were talking. If you have trouble finding what you need, definitely call that store. :) My mom and sister live near enough to drive to it and they've never gone - can you believe that? :complain: You'd think they'd at least go and shop for ME! :disbelief :lol:

[AahRee]

Oh, and about the fall transition line - who decided to name a color *clot*? :puke:

[kim]

clot was a color in last year's fall lines as well. it's an off white i think.

the new trans line is partially up on the website. i'm not bowled over that's for sure. i may get something when it gets marked down though :lol:

[AahRee]

Don't get me wrong, the color itself is cute, but clot??? :wtf: were they thinking? :lol:

I'm not bowled over by the transition line, either, but that's probably a good thing! :lol:

[gulp!]

I emailed Glendale back and asked if they would be willing to call other stores or if I should email my list to the other stores. I also asked if they had a particular shirt in any other color. No answer from them yet. :( If I haven't heard from them by tomorrow, I'll call or email Arden Fair. Thanks for the tips, ladies!

[Bridget]

Kim, you seem to be the expert. Do you or anyone else know how you pronounce the name of this line?

[Karri]

its nar-chee

[Nicole]

I've been to the Arden Fair store and they are not too helpful in store because they are doing so many phone/email orders, it's pretty funny! They just added another 40% off sale items to clear the stores for fall line 1! I got 2 outfits for each girl for next summer for $32!! But it was slim pickings!

[Bridget]

Thanks!:sunny: its nar-chee

[Eva]

its nar-chee

Side note...It means Tangerine in South Afrirican. I asked my friends boyfriends who is South Aftrican what it means. :)

[Jillian]

Ok, does anyone have an actual naartjie near them? I really like some of the newer stuff, but am confused on how to order it... :blush1: I also need to know how they run...I really like one of the girl dresses, but the smallest size is a 3...

[kim]

jillian,

pretty much all the naartjie stores ship now! all you do is call them up (or email) and place an order, they ship priority. they have bg sizes but the designs are not always exactly the same.

how they run really depends on each individual item. they are notorious for being all over the place. judging by what you've posted of janelle in gymbo she'd likely be in 18-24 in naartjie.

i'm waiting for a sale before i order any of the new line. i am for sure getting the new striped essentials.

[Dawn]

Ok, does anyone have an actual naartjie near them?
It looks like they're all in California! One in AZ and another in OH, I think.

I gotta check out their new stuff....and see if I like it. :)

[Lyndee]

So with all this talk about Naartjie, Lauryn decided she'll wear her Naartjie dress today. :lol:

I got it on sale a while back. It's cute but it's one of those dresses that would look much better with leggings underneath. It's on the short side but she refused to wear anything else!

[Jillian]

So, using one of the things I want as an example...I'd just call up any store and tell them this info then they'd ship it to me? Why don't they have online ordering??? :lol:

CHEEKY FLORAL KNIT DRESS


Clot

3


Style #: GKD399FLT5

$22.50


Hmm, so there is no way a size 3 will fit huh? How often do they have sales? I like the bird dress in baby girl and the above dress in girls...plus the matching pants to go underneath both.

Have you ordered the soft-soled shoes before? Just wondering if they run similar in size to Robeez.

[kim]

that's pretty much it :lol:

i am thinking the 3 will be huge. they tend to run large and they are preshrunk.

i've never bought the soft shoes. gianna doesn't wear shoes :lol:.

oh hey, i saw robeez knockoffs at payless yesterday for $12.99 boys and girls.

[Lyndee]

Just a question-- have you guys had luck with Naartjie sizing? I hear people complain all the time about Gymbo sizing but I got a pair of Naartjie jeans in a 2T and they are HUGE!!!! Lauryn wears at least a 3 on Gymbo.

I look at some of the other message boards and it seems like Naartjie is such a guessing game when it comes to sizes. Anyone have good luck with this?

[Nocona]

oh hey, i saw robeez knockoffs at payless yesterday for $12.99 boys and girls.

Mine had them on clearance for $3 :aok:

[jennp]

We have one about a mile away, but I can't really help you with girl sizes :)

[Kath]

Hmmm....so Kim, what size in Gianna in (now vs. for fall?) I LOVE that New Rose outfit she is wearing that you posted a ways back...she is too cute! For some reason I always thought "spring/summer" when I thought of Naartjie stuff but
duh, they obviously have fall/winter lines too! :silly:

[Lyndee]

Here's the Naartjie dress Lauryn had on today. Looking at the pic, I guess it's not as short as I thought!

http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b5d904b3127cce935890134c2e00000015108AaNG7Rozasx

[Dawn]

So cute Lyndee! :)

What size is that dress?

[Lyndee]

It's a 2T. They were out of the leggings so I just got the dress. Last Spring, I was able to talk her into wearing pink leggings underneath because it was just way too cold. I also got the matching socks and hair thingies. It's such as soft and comfy dress.

[Dawn]

Cool, Lyndee! I must check out their stuff...its been a while that I went on the site.

And btw, what are you still doing up girl? Don't ya have work tomorrow???? :lol:

[kim]

i love that dress lyndee, i have it for gianna (with matching pants and the shirt) in the 'butter' color.

kath - right now gianna would wear 12-18 in naartjie. the outfit i just mentioned, the dress and pants are 12-18 but the shirt is 18-24. i bought it as a lot on the loops :biggrin: last spring when girls were clearing out their winter stuff. i plan to buy some new line in 12-18 as well (i have quite a bit of last year's winter lines in 18-24 already)

so although she's wearing 12-18 gymbo right now i think she'll still be in that size say thru october, maybe november.

have i posted the old lines links? i will in a min.

[Nicole]

I love their soft shoes, they run just like Robeez and they are really cute and soft. I love the new line and can't wait to buy some, I'm going to the one in Arden Fair next month because I hate ordering!!

[Lyndee]

And btw, what are you still doing up girl? Don't ya have work tomorrow???? :lol:

Do you really want to know????

I read all 31+ pages of the GR drama! :eek: :faint:

[Dawn]

Do you really want to know????

I read all 31+ pages of the GR drama! :eek: :faint:
:lol: No way...you are too funny! I *still* have yet to finish it. :lol:

[Bridget]

Where are the soft shoes on their website? I can't seem to find them, but I is stoopid.

I love their soft shoes, they run just like Robeez and they are really cute and soft. I love the new line and can't wait to buy some, I'm going to the one in Arden Fair next month because I hate ordering!!

[kim]

usually they're under accessories, but try the sale page too.

[kim]

just for the record i bought another naartjie set today on ebay :blush1: the shadowcheck dress and bloomers in butter from last fall.

bellabloom dress (nwt),pants, top in orange
bellabloom dress in cliff (nwt)
bellabloom top and pants in old rose (posted above by dawn)
bellabloom top in raspberry (bonus from seller due to miscommunication!)

i think that's it. i have a few things on my 'to buy' list from the new line :biggrin:


BTW: FREE SHIP ON ORDERS OVER $50 RIGHT NOW, and they are still having 40% off sale merchandise.

[Nicole]

I love the new line and will be paring down my to buy list because I am so in love with the new line!!

The only Naartjie stuff so far for the winter is Holland Flower stuff I got on eBay for the girls and the New Rose stuff I bought on sale in the store.

[AJsMom0703]

I was introduced to Naartjie a few months ago. I absolutely love it for my son Airen. Even my hubby likes shopping at the outlet here in AZ with no complaints. Of course we are still trying to figure out the sizing. Airen is 31 pounds and 35 inches tall. We bought 18-24 month shorts that are way too big in the waist and have a pair in 12-18 month which are too tight. We can't seem to find a happy medium in the shorts but a simple tuck in the back waist band seems to help. The 2T shirts fit him well. This line of clothes washes up great and for boys has a great variety.

[Dawn]

One more question. If I really like something I see on E-bay how much in general should a dress/bloomers set go for? (in 12-18 or 18-24...I don't remember what size it was)
I would like to know this answer as well, because..............

Lookie, lookie what I won!!!! :yippee:

http://members.sparedollar.com/resize.aspx?user=pretzelboys&img=2005_0710july100025.JPG&size=200
It's 6-12 mo. for Angelina! :biggrin:

[kim]

yay dawn!!!!

naartjie seems to be going high right now, when i bought i'd pay up to $20 incl. ship for a set. i tend to buy in the off season to get deals :biggrin:, i bought most of what's on my above list back in late winter, early spring when people were getting rid of winter stuff.

[Dawn]

Thanks Kim. :) Anyway, I bought that set for $18.75....($21.75 incl. shipping).

Now, as for this one:

http://members.sparedollar.com/resize.aspx?user=pretzelboys&img=2005_0710july1010014.JPG&size=200

I put my high bid at $25.00, and someone outbidded me....it's up to $26.00 now (and mind you, it's from a bidder with ZERO feedback :rolleyes: ), and it ends in 7 hrs.

I usually bid right when it's close to ending but I put a bid in last night in fear that I wouldn't be home or would forget by the time it ended...so I wanted to get some bid in.

[kim]

got the shadowcheck set (in butter) in the mail today. i was told this runs huge and it does. this is the 12-18 , her size right now in gymbo and other clothes. this dress is enormous! the pants i believe are supposed to be more like bloomers but they are pants now :lol:.she'll wear it straight thru to may around here.

i love it btw.

http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b5d623b3127cce9360fc0b507200000016108KaM2zVuzo


excuse the bink...it was after work, her cranky time.

[Dawn]

Oooh Kim, love it! Just that particular line runs huge?

[kim]

yes, this line runs huge. other lines do as well, but from what i can tell of the butterfly and bellabloom stuff i have, they are not big. i found the new rose stuff to be right on.

then again gianna is a bit chunky :lol:

[kim]

btw dawn did you see what that set you were watching went up to? :eek:

[Dawn]

btw dawn did you see what that set you were watching went up to? :eek:
YOu reminded me and I just checked now.....

$47.98?!?!?! What?!?! :eek: Wow, and I thought my max of $25 was high! :lol:

[AahRee]

Holy cow! Can you link to that auction? I have to see that!

[Dawn]

Holy cow! Can you link to that auction? I have to see that!
Yep, here ya go http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4751854753&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEDW%3AIT&rd=1
That's just insane!!!!! I LOVE LOVE that outfit....but not for $50! :lol:

[AahRee]

Holy cow! It's not even NWT! :faint: It is adorable, though, but not for $50! That has to be WAAAYYY more than she paid for it. And her child wore it, too. Amazing! I wish my auctions did that! :lol:

[Lyndee]

Question for you guys--

How is the newborn stuff running?

Brandon is 22 lbs and maybe 27 inches (we don't know-- DH took him for his check up and didn't get the full stats!)

I'm liking the KNIT YARN DYE TEAL STRIPE shirt with the matching pants. Do you think he can wear a 6-12 months? This is to wear now- for the house. I need some soft pants and LS tops so he doesn't get carpet burn when he crawls.

TIA!

[Karri]

Oh Kim - that is sooo cute!!!!!!

Ok - I cant believe how much that auction went for! :eek: I love the outfit, but shiiiiiit :eek:

[Dawn]

Ok - I cant believe how much that auction went for! :eek: I love the outfit, but shiiiiiit :eek:
I know...tell me about it! :disbelief:

Oh, I forgot to mention that I got this over a week ago from my winning bid at ebay:
http://members.sparedollar.com/resize.aspx?user=pretzelboys&img=2005_0710july100025.JPG&size=200
Love it, love it, love it. It's so adorable! Can't wait till Angelina wears it. :)

[Nicole]

That one is really cute Dawn!!
I just won a Bella Bloom outfit for Addy yesterday for $15.50!! I'm thrilled and now I just have to find one for Abby. I'm still searching for good deals on Shadow Check after seeing Gianna's cute pics! We're going to Naartjie in Arder Fair tomorrow!

[Dawn]

Look at the 2 Naartjie outfits I won for Alexia! :yippee:

Holland Flower Tye Die dress - NWT!

http://www.ssb3.net/users/10210/dsp_dsc00637.jpghttp://www.ssb3.net/users/10210/dsp_dsc00639.jpg

http://www.ssb3.net/users/10210/dsp_dsc00640.jpg

And here's the other (i couldn't copy/paste the picture). It's NWT, the Butterfly line in the Raspberry color:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4756589942&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1
It's a tad more than what I wanted to pay....but I LOVED it so much!

[kim]

We're going to Naartjie in Arder Fair tomorrow!

soooo jealous! the new line is out and i LOVE IT! i got my 15% coupon in the mail the other day :aok:. once i get a handle on how the sizing is going i'll make my order.

dawn - i have that tye dye dress in guava :lol: i might actually be selling it because i can't find matching leggings.

[Dawn]

dawn - i have that tye dye dress in guava :lol: i might actually be selling it because i can't find matching leggings.
Oh man, have you checked on ebay? Or do the leggins usually sell w/ the dress on ebay? What size is your dress?

[kim]

the dress is 12-18. it's nwt i bought it probably 6 months ago and have been hunting ebay and the loops/boards i'm on and cannot get my hands on 12-18 guava leggings. i'm thinking it was not a popular color. :(

oh man :blue: Well, I'll keep my eyes open for ya too.....
I see alot of that raspberry color...I'm guessing that color's pretty popular, right?

[AahRee]

I didn't get a picture of Katie in it yet, but I had to come post this picture of my niece, Mia, in her Naartjie dress (from Auntie). Isn't she a doll?
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y8/aahree/Miasittingsmall.jpg

[Kath]

OMG!! What an adorable picture!!!! Seeing pictures of babies/kids wearing Naartjie makes me want to buy it even more.....MUCH better than just seeing the pictures on ebay or the website!!

[kim]

she's a cutie anne!

hmm...then i won't do a naartjie fashion show kath :lol: i actually have only tried that one outfit on gianna. she hates to be changed so i don't do it if i don't have to.

[Dawn]

She's adorable, Anne!

[AahRee]

Thanks! I keep threatening my sister that I'm going to steal her. She's such a sweetie! :love3:

[Eva]

She is adorable. I love that dress. :)

[Nicole]

She is adorable Anne!
Kim~ I didn't get a coupon so I bought the new line full price! It is TDF in person!! I only bought one outfit each in juicy, I was too shocked that they are nearly out of the bird stripe, NO full sets left in a 4!! So I'll be calling stores for that line because I love it!!

Dawn~ We have that same dress and color for Abby and for Addy in Zu I think. We got tights insead of leggings though...

[kim]

nicole, mention you have the coupon when you call :awink: there is no code on it so they'd have no idea you didn't physically have it. they usually put a secret :lol: code word on the website during these sales anyway.

i am LOVING the new heart line. i'm a sucker for tye dye. there a few things from fall 1 i want too. hmmm...

[Dawn]

Kim, the heart line is only the newborn line right (up to 12 mos)? And, am I blind....I don't see tye dye? :scratch: Which, by the way, I LOVE tye dye too! :up:

[Sandy]

I am loving the items you are getting Dawn! I am going to keep an eye out on ebay for it myself.

Sandy

[kim]

nope you're not blind, they haven't linked the pages yet, but they are up! they use the same naming convention with all their pages so if you play around you can see the new line before they officially throw it up there.

try this, baby girl :
http://www.naartjie.homestead.com/fall22005/f2girlbabymainpage.html

[Dawn]

Ah ok...gotcha! Thanks! I love the BG line!!!! Hmn, I'm wondering if Alexia will fit in the 2T. I have to see their sizing charts.... But for sure I'm getting some for Ang!

Can you do the same thing for KG, so I can see what it looks like? :biggrin: Sorry, I just have no clue how you did that...I was trying and trying and all I come up with is the Fall 1 line. :lol:

[kim]

credit goes to kaari for figuring out the page stuff during the last new line :lol:

at the bottom of the link i just gave you, if you click on big girl you should see the new line there. if you don't, clear your browser cache, shut the browser down and try it again.

[Lyndee]

Kim--
can you do your magic and show me the boy stuff?

TIA!

I just put an order in yesterday at the arden fair store. I"m trying to not look at any more girl things. My boy boy needs some clothes! :lol:

[Jillian]

I just put an order in yesterday at the arden fair store. I"m trying to not look at any more girl things. My boy boy needs some clothes! :lol:


See, this is how you should do it. Boy clothes NEVER sell out anywhere, I bought so much clearanced gymbo for caid at RHDS that he had 30 outfits for winter in like June...that left the rest of the year to shop for Janelle. :lol:

[Dawn]

Thanks Kim! :up: I like the stuff! Since I'm not liking TP in Gymbo, I'm trading off and getting some of this. :nod: Me likey! :biggrin:

[Lyndee]

Found the boy stuff!

http://www.naartjie.homestead.com/fall22005/f2boybabymainpage.html

Question for you guys--
So the Arden Fair store had all my stuff except for a pair of shoes. If I find the pair of shoes at another store, then I would have to pay a whole new shipping fee for a new order?

[Dawn]

I am loving the items you are getting Dawn! I am going to keep an eye out on ebay for it myself.

Sandy
Thanks Sandy! I soooo can't wait until they get here!!!! I'm too impatient! :lol:
I've been scouring some of the Naartjie stuff lately instead of the Gymbo on ebay.

[Dawn]

OK, for now the last thing I have on watch for Naartjie is this (for Alexia):

I love it....I want it!

4 pc set Cranberry Crochet Tie Dyed XS 3 yrs
http://i11.ebayimg.com/03/i/04/b3/e4/ac_1_b.JPG

and of course there's 3 days left on it. Wish me luck!

[Nicole]

That is so cute Dawn!!

[Nicole]

I won the same Shadow Check outfit Gianna has for Abby yesterday, now I'm on the hunt for one for Addy...

[Dawn]

I won the same Shadow Check outfit Gianna has for Abby yesterday, now I'm on the hunt for one for Addy...
I almost bid on one as well. But like you, I know I'll be on the hunt for 2 of them. :lol:

[kim]

i bought two shirts and two pr pants from fall trans today :blush1:

[Sandy]

Lets See!!!!

[Nicole]

Kim, don't feel bad I placed an order today, just have to wait and see what they have...

[Kath]

Ok Kim...I know you said that you wouldn't post a fashion show to hook me into having to buy Naartjie.....but I have been playing online and am getting hooked regardless! And getting totally overwhelmed trying to decide on colors, trying to coordinate tops/bottoms etc. HELP! :lol:

[Dawn]

Kim, do you know when they'll oficially link the pages up to the Fall 2 line?

[Nicole]

Dawn~ Fall 2 is up!

[Dawn]

Dawn~ Fall 2 is up!
Oh cool! Thanks Nicole! :)

I'm off to check my picks of what I want to get!!!!

[Nicole]

They had everything in my order so I bought the girls both a dress/pants set as well as a stripe set from the bird strip line. It's shipping out today:yippee:!!

[kim]

Lets See!!!!

if you look on the sale page http://www.naartjie.homestead.com/saleitems/girlbabysaleitems.html

i got the applique flower top and the welt pants in clot
and the cheeky floral top in sage, with a pr of essential pants in sage as well.

i really wanted the cheeky striped dress but i have a TON of dresses for G already.

i'll wait until fall 2 is marked down to order it. tye dye dress is a must have.

[Sandy]

My first purchase! Ebay. From the Boho line. I can't wait to see it in person! I feel lucky to have gotten it for $15.00 based on the price some outfits are going for!

http://i13.ebayimg.com/02/i/04/b1/f3/e4_1_b.JPG

[Lyndee]

That's so cute!!!

It's 11:30 p.m. I just got off the phone with Naartjie at Arden Fair. DH looked at the clock and asked me where these people are that I talk to. He was wondering if they were in South Africa or something. :lol:

And oh, the other night when I was playing around with the URLs to find the lines that they hadn't linked yet (it was Kim's idea :lol: ), DH looked at me and said You people are crazy!! :lol:

[Dawn]

Kim - HOw long before prices go down? (in this case, on Fall 2)?

Sandy - You sure did get a good price on that! Good deal, and it's adorable! :up:

The raspberry Butterfly set came in yesterday! The one w/ the striped pants and butterfly dress (the pics are taken off the auction already). I LOVE it! The pants do run long...they are 18-24 mo. and the dress is a 3. NWT! Can't wait to try it on Alexia!

[Sandy]

Does anyone know if the leggings run big? I see lots of 18-24 dresses w/ 12-18 leggings????

[Sandy]

Oh, based on Dawn's post, I guess so??????

[Dawn]

Yes Sandy, I believe the leggins do run big. Kim would know if all styles of the leggins do....I'm assuming yes. Alexia would normally be in a size 3 for length, and the outfit we won the leggins were 18-24 mos. like I said, and it just fits her...it may even be a hair too short. A size 2 leggins she would have gotten more use out of though, and is what I'll be looking for next time. Now I know.. :) The dress that went with it is a 3, btw. :) HTH!

[kim]

sandy i think you got that set so cheap because they are from different lines. the dress is boho but the pants are definately holland flower.

naartjie sizing is all over the place. you can't make a general statement that the pants run big, sometimes they run small! i get my sizing info from the girls on my other board who buy tons of naartjie. i bought gianna all 12-18 the other day based on their recommendations. i'll give a report once i get them :)

It is waaay all over the place! People complain all the time about how Gymbo is so inconsistent with sizing- but I haven't really found Gymbo to be THAT inconsistent (in fact, I really have had very little problems). But I read about the folks at the BBB who are getting 12-18 anywhere from their <1 to 2T kids!

[Dawn]

Wow, I didn't know that the sizing was all over the place like that. How's their return policies? I think for now I'll stick w/ size 3 dress/tops for Alexia and size 2 for the bottoms, and keep my fingers crossed :lol: . For Ang....6-12 mos. We'll see how that goes...

I printed out all the Fall 2 line pages so I can see what things I want to match up (ok, I'm a dork! :lol: ) with each other. I hope to place an order by this week!!

[Sandy]

Interesting. I was going to bid on some stuff last night, but decided against it b/c I was unsure. I also think I am going to wait until I get the stuff I won before getting anything else. Will let you know.

[Nicole]

I just got the Shadow Check outfit that I won on eBay for Abby, I love it so much!! I also won it for Addy in orange (whatever color they called orange that year) and Bella Bloom for Addy in fuschia! So loving my Naartjie! Just waiting for the stuff I ordered from the Glendale Galleria...

Nicole, that's great! :up: I'm waiting on one more NWT outfit to come in from ebay (the tye dye one)...and I can't wait! I plan on putting an order in for the Fall 2 line....and I hope I guestimate good as far as the sizes go. :crossfing:

[Nicole]

Fall 2 is so cute Dawn, it's even better in person than on the site, which outfits are you considering? I love the tye dye dresses from Holland Flowers, although I've seen that there's a pink one and now I want that, it never ends!!

I'll let you know for sure what outfits I'm considering after I get it together (i have the pages printed out...I'm still trying to decide on what bottoms to get w/ what, etc. :crazy:) but I do like the Tie Dye crochet heart stuff (trying to decide if I should get the shirt vs the dress), and I'll probably also get them a basic set like a yarn dye striped outfit. The hearts print stuff is cute too. So we'll see.....

You have a store by you? Lucky! There's absolutely no stores here on the east coast!!! I would love it if there were. That's good to know that you liked the stuff in person too. :up:

i got my physical coupon in the mail a week ago :lol:.

[Lyndee]

Well, I got my order and they didn't take 15% off my order even though I said HEARTS over the phone.

But what's really disappointing is that all the 6-12 month clothes I got for Brandon are all too small! I was hoping they'd run big like everything else they have.

And 2 out of the 3 outfits that I got were not made in South Africa anymore. They're made in China.

[Dori]

I won my first Naartjie outfit on ebay this week!!
http://www.sellersourcebook.net/members/watch/userimages/7920/img_4933.jpg

Its new with tags!! Its for next summer. I had another in my watch but I think I will wait until I get this one, see how the sizes run, etc.. before I bid on anymore. I really like this outfit!!

[Dawn]

Dori, that's adorable! :up:

Lyndee....man, that sucks...both about the 'hearts' code and about the sizing. :blue:

I got Alexia's Holland Flower tye die outfit in the mail the other day from ebay (NWT!) and the pants is size 3 and the dress is size 18-24 mos. which fits her!! It's adorable!

So far, based on the outfits I have, I think I'll be getting her size 2 stuff and keep my fingers crossed :crossfing: :lol:

[kim]

Dori, those pants are flannel! definately NOT for summer. they are the shadowcheck flannel pants from the butterfly line. i do not recognize the top at all but i'm pretty sure it is not from the same line.

lyndee - yes, a lot of the stuff is being made in china now. i think this stuff is, i'd have to check the tags.

these are fall trans. everything is 12-18, she is at least 30in tall and over 21lbs (that was her weight 3m ago). i got a major deal on these because they were ordered from the outlet in AZ and a girl on another board picked them up. so i got 25% off then an additional 15%.

applique top and welt pants in clot. welt pants are long, i will have to roll the waist but they will fit all winter.
http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b96/beni32/Dsc00031.jpg

applique top and nec raw pants in sage. these are actually capris which i didn't know when i ordered them. still really cute.
http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b96/beni32/Dsc00030.jpg

[Dori]

They are capri's??

[Nicole]

Kim~ I can't see your pics :scratch:
Dori~ The pants are crops, both of my girls have them. They would work for fall or spring but not fall.

So we finally got Addy's Bella Bloom outfit yesterday and I won one for Abby so that should be coming soon. I also got Addy's shadow check outfit in the mail. I'm in love!! I'm going to try to do a fashion show during my days off...

[Sandy]

Dori, I had that outfit on my watch list, but didn't bid. I think it is adorable!!!

Kim, I have now been paying closer attention to listings and I see a lot of them w/ mismatched lines together. The outfits still look good, but they do have different lines. I love seeing these clothes on G.

I got the outfit I won last week. I haven't tried it on her yet, but it is very cute and soft.

[Dori]

Okay, she did list in the auction that the top and bottom were from two different lines. And the pants will work for summer in Ireland!! ;)

[Nicole]

Thought I'd bump this up with some pics of my girls in their fall Naartjie since it's finally cooling off here.

[Dawn]

Nicole - How cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What are their age differences?

[Nicole]

Dawn~ They are are 2 years and 5 months apart, perfect age gap for baby and big girl sets!

[Dawn]

Dawn~ They are are 2 years and 5 months apart, perfect age gap for baby and big girl sets!
Awe, cool! My 2 are 2 yrs. 8 mos. apart and can't wait for Angelina to walk so that they can look too cute like that...standing side by side in matching/coordinating outfits. :heart:

[Nicole]

The new Naartjie is up, it looks pretty cute! I love the cropped cross over top with the hoodie under it and the dress with the netting on the bottom. I may have to go see it when I go to Sacramento in a couple of weeks.

[Nicole]

Just one picture to share, Abby in her fall 1 dress that I love so much!!

http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b5ce25b3127cce943cd28055f200000025118AYtmLho0ZNN

[Nicole]

The girls wore their fall 2 outfits yesterday and they ran pretty big, the waists were HUGE!! And the sleeves were quite long. The worst part is that the leggings for Abby are pretty short, they just reach her ankle. I'll have to get a picture of them in the outfits, they look cute, just big.

[kim]

i haven't bought any naartjie since fall trans due to the all over the freaking place sizing lately.

for example, i bought the quirky striped applique top in sage and clot. both 12-18 fit perfect. i have the welt pants in 12-18...huge. very long and big in waist. also got the nec rosette fleece pants. pants? they are for sure capris :nod: i posted pics of them about a page back.

a girl on another board sold me the same shirt in 2t (lily)...just a tad big! she wore it yesterday! and the striped quirky pants in 18-24...fit almost same as 12-18.

i think i am done with them for now (although i really really want the tye dye dress. i may get one for next fall since G doesn't need another dress).

Not the best pics of Alexia (silly girl!), but wanted to show you her wearing this Butterfly line from 2004 in raspberry color. This is her FAVORITE outfit and has asked to wear it several times already! It is soooo adorable on....I LOVE it!

[Nicole]

I hate the all over sizing Kim, it's making me crazy!!
Dawn~ That outfit looks so great on Alexia! Very cute!

[Bridget]

Dawn, that outfit is really cute! I love the color - and the braids!

[Dawn]

Tx Nicole and Bridget! :)

[Dawn]

[kim]

dawn i am so jealous you have the pants for that dress! i have that dress in guava for gianna and it is still nwt in her closet because i don't have the pants :(. i may try tights with it.

here's gianna in fall '04 butterfly line in the 'butter' color
http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b5ce08b3127cce94b592ecda3300000016108KaM2zVuzo

i can't remember what line this is...i think it's from holland flower since the pants are the same as dawn's.....i'll look it up later. i love the vertical tye dye.
http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b5ce02b3127cce94952128efc700000026108KaM2zVuzo

[Dawn]

Oh man Kim, that sux about the pants. :blue: They are hard to come by on ebay? For now I would also probably do tights with it. That guava color must look so nice in that dress!!

I totally love Gianna's outfits! And that vertical type tye dye is too cool! :up:

[Alyson]

Here's Brookelyn yesterday. The pants are still so big on her. I have to remember to just buy her 18-24, cause the 2T is way too big still in pants! I don't know why she's standing so goofy!!! lol

[Sandy]

Alyson, she is so CUTE!!!

Please keep me in the loop if anyone learns of Naartjie having a big sale! I know you have to call the individual stores to order, or something like that, but I want to keep my options open! I am just LOVING the outfits you guys are posting, and the material is just so great!

[kim]

they're have 15% off right now sandy :biggrin:

[Sandy]

Bridget, your PM box is full!!!

[Bridget]

I fixed it!

[Bridget]

Hey Dawn, your PM box is full!

[Dawn]

Hey Dawn, your PM box is full!
OK....cleared out a few more (for now!) :lol: PM away! :biggrin:

[Nocona]

Ok, I'm budding in :) Sara only has one Naartje outfit and she wore it today so I figured I'd take a pic for Kim :)

Happy girl :) in Naartje from Gianna's closet :lol:
http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b6df31b3127cce96c407f71d7a00000025118AcsmzRm3btC

[Alyson]

Nocona - Sara looks so cute in that outfit! We love Naartjie..
Heres a pic of Brookelyn in Naartjie today! Oh..and those aren't big stains on her shirt, they're velour leaves sewn onto it, there's some on the left leg too.. it's cuter in person! Although that white stuff is crap from a meal bar.

[Eva]

Awww. Sara is so cute. :love:

Alyson, very cute. I love the colour. It looks great on her. :)

[Bridget]

Nocona and Alyson I :hb: those pics. I just ordered my VERY FIRST NAARTJIE!!! I can't wait to get it, although it is all for next winter... I could NOT justify it for this winter that is for sure. I love their fluffy, lacy fairy motif they've got goin on....

[Alyson]

Bridget.. what did you order? Do tell!!
Oh..and in the future.. I'll let you know when I'm going to Naartjie for sure!... that way if you want anything I'll just pick it up for ya!

[Bridget]

OMG that would be awesome. I can honestly say I hadn't gotten the bug for Naartjie until just this week. I think I always hit the website at weird sale times when there was nothing left. I'm not sure what all I got. :blush: They never emailed me back after my last message...

Bridget.. what did you order? Do tell!!
Oh..and in the future.. I'll let you know when I'm going to Naartjie for sure!... that way if you want anything I'll just pick it up for ya!

It won't let you post the images, but here's my list:
NEC Velour Jacket in Bluebell
Velour and Netting Handwork Skirt in Bluebell
Velour and Netting Handwork Dress in China
NEC Raw Rosette Fleece Pants in Bluebell, Flower, and Retro
and maybe (they didn't confirm these)
Fleece w/Netting Fairy Top in Bluebell
NEC Knit Long Sleeve Velour Leaf Tunic in Very Cherry

I'm sure you are DYING to look all this up. There's so much other fluffy stuff on the site right now that I just love!

[Alyson]

Bridget what cute stuff! That last one, the long sleeve velour leaf tunic.. that is what Brookelyn has on.. the color on the website looks very red, but hers is more maroon.. but I didn't see maroon on htere.. so maybe hers is the cherry.. don't know.. We have the matching pants too.. Thats the outfit in the pic from today. I love it and wish I'd have bought it in more colors! You'll love the little velour jacket!!! We have a red and a blue from this spring that are corduroy with the fuzzy inside. Brookelyn wears them ALL of the time!! Theyre adorable!

[Dawn]

Cute pics of Sara & Brookelyn! :)

It's been a while since we purchased any Naartjie. :blue: It's a shame cuz Alexia's favorite outfits are her Naartjie ones! I need to check the site and update myself on the lines they currently have. :lol:

Bridget - I'm sure you'll LOVE Naartjie....especially when Ahna wears it, next year. :up: She'll look too cute in it. :)

[Alyson]

I'm thinking I might go to Naartjie one day next week. (I have to drive about an hour to get to one, but at least theres Gymbo, Gap, Janie and Jack, Naartjie, Nordstroms, Pumpkin Patch and more at the same mall:)!) So.. if anyone wants anything either pm me or something so I can pick stuff up for ya!:)

[kim]

nocona i'm surprised you even put that outfit on her :lol: i know you're not a fan of the dress with leggings look. sara looks adorable!

i haven't bought any naartjie in a while either. i do plan on getting the new dragonfly dress though :nod:

[Alyson]

Going to Naartjie today.. just wondering if anyone is ISO anything... let me know asap!!:)

[Kath]

Going to Naartjie today.. just wondering if anyone is ISO anything... let me know asap!!:)

Did you end up buying anything? Share! :heee:

[Alyson]

Actually no! The girls were horribly rude!!! ...And, they had nothing on their shelves almost at all!! The were bringing out new stuff and rearranging things and wouldn't let me open a package that had shirts in it (I wanted to buy one, and still they said no)!!?? So.. I left there pretty quick and pissed!

[hanabearshoes]

Oh that stinks! The new line looks pretty cute too.

[Kath]

OMG, that IS rude!! :( That sucks. I hope you got to indulge in some retail therapy somewhere else!!

[Bridget]

Alyson that totally sucks! I'm sorry. :furious: Actually no! The girls were horribly rude!!! ...And, they had nothing on their shelves almost at all!! The were bringing out new stuff and rearranging things and wouldn't let me open a package that had shirts in it (I wanted to buy one, and still they said no)!!?? So.. I left there pretty quick and pissed!

The good news is my Naartjie sale order arrived yesterday and although they didn't put in the last two items I requested :rolleyes: the other stuff is GORGEOUS. I love, love, love it.

[zen]

Hi, I'm new to this forum but I absolutely love Naartjie.

Actually no! The girls were horribly rude!!! ...And, they had nothing on their shelves almost at all!! The were bringing out new stuff and rearranging things and wouldn't let me open a package that had shirts in it (I wanted to buy one, and still they said no)!!?? So.. I left there pretty quick and pissed!

If I may know, which store was that? They probably can't sell the new stuff yet because they want it to be displayed first.. Maybe? Haha.. I can't blame you for being that excited though.

[Alyson]

They had almost NOTHING on their shelves except for stuff in plastic packaging still! So maybe they should have been closed! It was one of the stores in Sherman Oaks,CA (at the Fashion Square Mall).
This is the 2nd time we've had a sh*tty customer service experience there! When we were Xmas shopping at the store in the Glendale Galleria (CA) one of the girls was being REALLY rude to everyone! This guy was buying a TON of stuff and wanted to add some shoes, the lady said she'd already run his cc and couldn't add them. He said, well I want to buy them. She said, I'd have to cancel the whole thing and do it again and you could tell her was irritated by then! (I would have been) And he said, Ok do it then. And she said 'Oh yeah, make us work a little longer tonight man!' LOL!! She said that really loud to! Everyone in the store was looking at her, if I hadn't been so desperate for my stuff I'd have left right then after I told her how rude she was! She wasn't too bad when she rang us up, but she didnt say hi, bye or thank you!!!! She was a total B*tch!!!! I've been telling DH that I'm going to email Naartjie and complain, but ahven't had the time to actually do it!!

[zen]

WOW that is rude.. I didn't think it would be that bad. If you're really dissatisfied with their service, then maybe you should email a complaint. It will give them a chance to realize their mistakes and better themselves.

[AmyP]

You definitely should complain. Working retail around Xmas is tough, but it doesn't mean you should be rude! Besides, why on earth couldn't she just run his CC again for the other purchases as a separate sale? We do it all the time at Gymboree!

[Bridget]

I bought this on ebay yesterday. I paid too much for it, it is true. I got caught up in the moment. :shuffle:

[Mellissa]

Oh- but it's so cute Bridget!!!

[kim]

i like new rose bridget :nod: unfortunately my 6-12 set(new rose dress and pants in cloud) just tanked on ebay and i didn't get nearly what i thought it would. i'm pretty sore over that.

[Bridget]

Too bad your stuff isn't in our size. My mom and I are bidding on crap like mad and it's all going pretty high (although from what I've researched I should say it is selling for fairly typical prices...). I paid like $30 for my set - seems like most sets I'm bidding on in the 12-24 mo. range are going for $15-20?

What do you think a typical set might sell for? I guess like anything it's all about the size.

I'm guessing on sizes too. I know Naartjie sizing is weird, so I'm kind of trusting what the seller says about how it fits/runs. We'll see.

Here's another set I'm wanting. Ahna would look so cute in that!
http://i22.ebayimg.com/03/i/06/00/5d/63_1.JPG

[Mellissa]

Oooooo- I love those stripes!

[Alyson]

Bridget.. remember!!..I can go buy stuff for you!:) So you don't pay way too much on ebay!! Sometimes I think Naartjie stuff sells for more on ebay than it does in stores!! lol
Love the 2 outfits!!!!

[Bridget]

You're right. I forgot about that. I just really loved that particular outfit. There were about five I wanted ending all at the same time so I just went for that one. No question I paid too much though.

[kim]

hmm..i think that little girl's mom is on my gymbo board :lol:. $30 is not that bad for new rose. totally worth it too...i loved G's set.

i would NOT pay a lot on ebay for summer naartjie however. no no no!!! for one, it goes on sale WAY before summer and you can get it cheap right from the store especially if you are buying small sizes.

that's my naart nugget of the day. :lol:

[Nicole]

I love New Rose!! Both my girls have a bit of New Rose that they've worn a grand total of 1 time so far this season!

[snowangel]

Hey everyone. I am TOTALLY new to this site. I am a Naartjie Addict I tell ya! I just started buying it this month during the big year end sale and I have a HUGE load of clothes on the way. Stuff from the winter and holiday lines. I can't wait to get it all!

I am sorry that one of you has had bad CS at a couple of the stores. Because I do all my ordering over the phone or email, I have to say that I have had GREAT wonderful service! I think that's because the managers do the phone and email orders.

Because I ordered so much sale stuff, I am IMPATIENTLY waiting for the Dragonfly line to go on sale. I really want to order the dress and pants and the tie dye dress..but I must wait.

Apparently the new spring line will be up tomorrow. I am way too excited.

I have looked on Ebay and the stuff goes for more than in the stores! So weird! People seem to be crazy for the stuff.

Anyway, I hope I can join in the Naartjie talk around here. I am home with two little ones. My DD is 10 months and my DS is 2.5yrs. It is SO cold outside, so we have been inside a lot this last month. URGH!

From, Mel

[Bridget]

Hi Mel! Forgot to post yesterday and just noticed you online.

I can't wait for the new stuff either... and I've been learning my lesson about the ebay Naartjie experience... good advice from everyone in here on that.

Hope to see you around! Plenty of clothing addicts to hang out with here. :wavey:

[zen]

The new line is going out fast. I go to the Naartjie in UTC, San Diego, and they're already running out of sizes! It's crazy!

[Nicole]

I was just wondering if anyone is interested in Spring 2 from last year, the butterfly line (http://naartjie.homestead.com/spring2o2005/sp2girlkidmainpage.html). I have a set Abby wore, a 3, and one Addy wore, 12-18, the color is clear.

[Bridget]

Is it the whole outfit Nicole? I'm talking the 12-18. I get kind of confused with their pics sometimes - what is a dress/what's a shirt/skirt... KWIM?

BTW how did you access those old pages?

[Nicole]

I can take a picture of it when I get home today Bridget, it's the flutter sleeve tshirt, capris, denim jumper and socks.

Kim, saved all of the old line links in a thread, smart chickie that she is!!

[Bridget]

OK Nicole - that would be great!

Kim - question if you happen to see this...http://www.naartjie.homestead.com/spring12006/sp1girlkidfashion.html\ (http://www.naartjie.homestead.com/spring12006/sp1girlkidfashion.html/)

There's a pic in the upper right of this page - big girl and toddler. With Naartjie sometimes I can't figure out all the pieces shown in the pic. I adore the toddler outfit, but is it a skirt? And what shirt? Is this obvious to everyone else?

I'd love this as an Easter set for Ahna, but I can't even figure out for sure if it is in her size.

Here's my guess:
knit rosy top
crochet jersey
and the rest, while it resembles some of the skirts shown, none of the patterns seem to match

ME DUMB. Are you banned from a clothing line if you can't figure out the stupid pictures? :lol:


Help!

[Nicole]

I can answer the question for you Bridget (because I am oh so smart :lol: ) But really it's a hard site to navigate and the pictures aren't really all that great. Of course I think the stores are crammed full and hard to navigate too, but I digress. The little girl's gorgeous outfit is
Poplin Faded/Ditsy Rosy Hat
Poplin Vicki Dress
The pants are either the solid or ditsy print applique pants or the knit rosy pants (putting my money on the last one)
3D flower soft shoe
And I'm pretty sure those tricky bastards used the crochet jersey from Spring Trans 1 for final touch.

HTH!

[Bridget]

Nicole - http://www.emotipad.com/newemoticons/Band.gif You rock.

[Nicole]

Thanks Bridget I try! I totally spaced and forgot to get a picture yesterday, but my excuse is that I was asleep by 8 pm because I feeling crappy!!

But to make it up to you here is one of Addy in the outfit on Easter last year wearing it
http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b5db33b3127cce91c2fefce6b900000016108AYtmLho0ZNN

[Bridget]

Hey Nicole... sorry to just be responding now. Thanks for posting the pic. I think I'm going to pass for now. We just got a residual bill today from Ahna's birth (from last MAY :angry2: ) that's about 850 clams, so I am going to restrict myself from buying much misc. stuff (the fun stuff!) this month. THANKS ANYWAY!!!

It is really adorable!

[dani_momto3]

I have 2 girls and used to live in CA. Since I moved to Atlanta, I haven't been able to break my Naartjie addiction. I order from Mary Beth at the Rancho Cucamonga Store (Tel: (909) 803-2888). She is SOOOO nice and helpful. The clothese hold up so well that I am always able to pass them from my older girl to my younger one and then even down to my niece. Plus you can't beat the sales!

[Bridget]

I just like saying Rancho Cucamonga! :lol:

[Alyson]

Dani momto3 - That is one of the stores that I do most of my Naartjie shopping at! That is also the ONLY Naartjie store that has had nice employees! The girls there are very sweet and always willing to help and seem genuinely happy to be there! Where in CA did you live?
Bridget..:locolaugh you would love to say Rancho Cucamonga! LOL sounds like something you'd say. Thats where I started going to college!

[Bridget]

I like it best with the echo effect...

RANCHO..ANCHO..ANCHO..ANCHO...
COOOOOOOOO
CAMONGA!!!!!!!!

:locolaugh

BTW thanks for the tip Dani!!

[Eva]

I just bought this outfit from a Canadian online consignment store. Any clue what line it is from?

HTH!

I don't think it's the crochet jersey from the Spring Trans. If I'm not mistaken, that piece only have 1 button. So I'm guessing this item is not out for grabs yet. Maybe in the next line? Haha.. it's a tease to keep us super excited for the next spring trans!

[Kath]

I am so excited!! :banana: I just won my first ever Naartjie on ebay!! So that, plus the outfit I'm buying from Jenn....YAY! Finally some Naartjie in this house! :lol:

[Bridget]

Yay for you Kath! I only got my first stuff in January, but I am totally digging it, too.

[Dawn]

Great, Kath! :up: I need to get us some more Naartjie up in here! It's been a while!

[kim]

eva i've never seen that print before...i shall look around.


kath - funny i asked jenn the same ? about the sizing and i bought the other set :lol:

[kim]

good buy it now on this dress from the heart line. (i already have it for next year or i woulda snatched it :lol: )

kath - funny i asked jenn the same ? about the sizing and i bought the other set :lol:

Gianna & Katie will be Naartjie twins in their outfits!! Since we probably don't live very far apart maybe we need to get the girls together for some retail therapy in their matching N outifts. :heee:


I think I have a new love for the Lolli Funny Flower line for some reason. :shuffle: I can't wait to get the outfit from ebay!!

[Kath]

Here is our first Naartjie outfit!! I love the color, and its so light-weight and soft for summer! Its 18-24m though and fits pretty well now though, so I don't know if it will in a few months. :( These aren't the best pictures since Katie won't stay still for pictures anymore.

Katie looks adorable!!! We have the sundress from that line and love it! I'm hoping it will fit Brookelyn again this summer!

[Karri]

sooooooo cute, kath!!!

[Bridget]

I just bought this on ebay for a nice little price... I remembered what you said Kim about not paying too much on the summer merch. I paid... wait, what did I pay... :bolt: $6.50 which I don't think is bad.

http://i1.ebayimg.com/04/i/05/ef/24/fb_1_b.JPG

I've got another outfit coming up soon I hope to get... it's just a simple little short set so hoping it goes for cheap. We'll see.
http://i11.ebayimg.com/02/i/06/30/42/b6_1.JPG

[kim]

that second set is happy spot from summer '04 and can sometimes go real high but hopefully in the small size you'll snag it cheap :biggrin:

[Bridget]

My mom and I are ordering this whole outfit for Ahna, excluding the little sweater which I'm still hoping will go on sale.

I'm sweating a bit over the sizes... she'll wear it Easter weekend, and then through the summer... so I'm ordering 12-18 but I'm worried..........

[Eva]

I love love that outfit. :love: I have been debating getting the dress and capris. The only thing stopping me is that their ordering system seems like such a hassel especially with me being in Canada.

[Bridget]

It is a pain in the butt and I'm in the US! I wish they'd change things to make it a bit easier... but so far it has worked OK. You just feel at the mercy of the store you contact to help you out...

[Alyson]

Bridget.. just do it.. and Eva too! lol
I LOVE that outfit and I'm sure it'll be our next Naartjie purchase, minus the sweater cause I know Brookelyn would hardly wear it.. and it's too hot here in the summer for a sweater... soooo cute though!!!!

[Bridget]

I thought you'd like that Alyson. I was just telling my mom about you. We both submitted our orders so hopefully they'll have it in stock.

What are your thoughts on the pants? Should I go 12-18? She's still in 6-12 Gymbo but outgrowing all their pants except stretch pants/leggings.

[Alyson]

I always buy Brookelyn a size smaller than what she normally wears when I buy Naartjie.. In fact most of her 18-24 month stuff is still huge on her!!!

[kim]

bridget naartjie pants tend to run pretty long.

i just got my dragonfly dress and pants in the mail (a friend in oregon shopped for me)...and i have to say...I FREAKIN' LOVE IT! i got the caribbean color and it's gorgeous. i didn't have time to have G try it on though since i did a mini gymbo fashion show and well, she hates that.

i might have her wear it this weekend if it stays above 40 degrees :lol:, it's a trans line but really not much lighter than the heart dress i already have.

[kim]

oh and i'm getting the vicki dress when it goes on sale for sure.

[~Jenn]

The only thing stopping me is that their ordering system seems like such a hassel especially with me being in Canada.

Eva, they're *great* about shipping to Canada! I seriously had no problems when I did it, I was really, really impressed!

I found another picture of the girls wearing Naartjie...the line is from summer 2004, I think...but I had the pictures done last summer (so, 2005).

Oh, it's blurry, sorry...it's a picture of a picture, but you get the idea! I love that they can wear the stuff again this year, I think!

[Bridget]

I know it is a boneheaded thing of us to get this outfit NOT on sale but I've missed several items recently at some stores because I waited too long... so I figured I'd bite the bullet since I want it for Easter weekend and some pics. Plus my mom is buying the dress itself so :woo:

oh and i'm getting the vicki dress when it goes on sale for sure.

Jenn, the girls look really cute!

I drove by the Keedo store yesterday after running in J&J but DID NOT let myself go in. It looked like they had some cute stuff...

Jenn. do you remeber which store you used? Also was shipping and duty resonable...how did they ship?

Love ethe picture of the girls. Love that shade of blue. :)

[~Jenn]

What are some of the names of the stores? I ordered from two...I believe one started with a "B".

Shipping and duty were totally reasonable, and I'm pretty sure they shipped FedEx (or Purolator, one of the two). It wasn't in my mailbox, it came to my door.

Vague enough for you?! :lol:

[Eva]

Thanks Jenn. Brea is the one with the "b". :lol: Maybe I will make a plunge.

Still debating. :heee:

[Alyson]

Eva you could always call the Rancho Cucamonga store (CA)! They're super sweet there! I DO NOT recommend calling the Sherman Oaks or Glendale stores!.. also in CA! They're rude and b*tchy there!

[Bridget]

I DO NOT recommend calling the Sherman Oaks or Glendale stores!.. also in CA! They're rude and b*tchy there!

Let's al
