A few weeks ago I purchased the Fantasy Fabric Studded Blazer in black and ended up returning it because I'd just bought two other blazers and felt guilty! Anyway, I couldn't get it out of my head so ended up buying it again off the website. I picked it up from the store today and was really disappointed when I opened the packaging as this one was covered in a metallic thread, not like the one I'd bought before. Has anyone else noticed this - that they've changed the fabric so it has a shimmer effect? I really like the jacket but preferred it in the plain black fabric. Not sure what I should do? Is there no way of getting hold of the original version now?

I've seen quite a few of the original plain black fabric studded blazers at the SCP Zara. So, worry not: it's still out there!

Booo... I just ordered this last week. I hope it doesn't have metallic threads, or else it's going back :(

Fingers crossed for you! Mine is going back. The metallic threads make it look cheap and the quality is not as good. Can't explain it but there are some white areas in the jacket as if there is a different fabric showing through underneath the outer fabric. The quality looks really bad. So disappointing.
