LOVE it! And it looks great on you...hope it went home with you! Is it wool? Any leather trim?
So lucky you got one! I have this on order in my size in Paris… not sure if it will actually arrive!
Joining this thread as I’ve bought my first H RTW piece ever today - Les Tambours pullover in red. And I would like to hear your thoughts because I’m having mixed feelings about my purchase.
On one side, I felt a bit “forced” by my SA to buy it. She had invited me to create a SO bag because, my first SO from April last year has been cancelled… and after that, she started showing me other stuff (shoes, sandals, jewelry, RTW…). It was a bit weird, honestly. I didn’t find the way to say I was not interested in buying anything today. I started feeling uncomfortable because she was suddenly very pushy.
But well, I tried this pullover on, and I loved it (my family is related to music and I play the drums), so I ended up buying it. It is gorgeous, but I felt a bit silly, because I paid a lot of money for “just” a pullover… But I guess I paid the price for being offered a SO? Anyway… hopefully I will use it a lot. What do you think? Should I return it and get a voucher? Or just forget about what I’ve spent and enjoy it?

You posted that you loved it when you tried it on. I think it looks great. For what it’s worth, I think H pullovers are durable, and feel nice, and I wear mine a lot. But, only you can know if you will wear it, or if you are uncomfortable with wearing a pullover that is this price point.
You should not feel like this sweater was the price for being offered an SO. While, it is part of an SAs job to show you other merchandise, you shouldnt feel bullied into an Unwanted purchase. You should also feel able to say that you didn’t feel like shopping for other things today.

Thanks! Yes, it came home with me! Only leather is the closure for the peg made of horn… and the coolest bit is the lining (not reversible)

Hope yours is on its way! My store just got more sizes recentlySo lucky you got one! I have this on order in my size in Paris… not sure if it will actually arrive!
My cream bomber jacket from last fall has the same lining...very cool! But my jacket has a fair amount of leather trim which makes cleaning it a bit of a nightmare. Glad you'll be able to wear that lovely jacket knowing that the inevitable dirt is easily banished.
Ah! Yes, dirt! I was choosing between this and the dark navy (bleu noir), and went with this bleu mineral as it is more a “statement” coat, I thought…. I no longer wear make-up, so hopefully one less source of grime to worry about
I would not keep anything that I felt "pressured" into purchasing. That is not the "joy" in shopping
especially since it is your first RTW piece.
The SO is the SO & would not think that a sweater would impact that, JMO
If you are not happy & won't enjoy wearing this sweater, return it & purchase something
else that you won't have mixed feelings about.
