With Black Friday in full swing, bargain hunters are delighted to find that our favourite retailers are brimming with offers. The shopping extravaganza has tumbled prices on a whole range of items, but one sale has caught our eye in HOBBS — a firm favourite of Princess Kate.
Our sleuths have been on the hunt through HOBBS’ Black Friday offerings, where a blanket 20% discount applies to everything in sight, unearthing a treasure trove of festive-ready bargains like the impeccable five-star rated Rosanne Faux Fur Coat.
Originally priced at £229, now slashed to a more purse-friendly £183.20, the Rosanne Faux Fur Coat is an opulent sartorial choice that oozes elegance. Tailored to fit all figures, the coat comes in both petite and regular sizes and boasts a gleaming black fur that dazzles with a checkerboard impression under the light.
Its cutting-edge longline boxy silhouette paired with a snug funnel neckline all add to its cosy charm, along with a sleek hook-eye closure and practically invisible side pockets for stashing essentials or warming frosty fingers.
Customers are raving about this sumptuously reduced piece, as one shopper gleefully remarked: “Perfect fit. Love the shine in it making it perfect for going out Warm and perfect for the weather,” reports the Manchester Evening News. Meanwhile, another customer praised its luxurious feel, commenting: “Lovely coat, really nice quality material and seems to be well made. The slight pattern in the fur gives it a lovely finish.”
However, one shopper expressed slight regret after their purchase, saying: “the coat was a bit big on the shoulders so I’ve had to return it. The smaller one would probably be slightly tight.”
Another satisfied customer enthused about the product: “Love it. Love the feel and the fall. I think I’m going to use it for a long time.” Meanwhile, an eager buyer shared their anticipation with excitement: “saving it for Christmas holiday. To arrive in style!”
The sought-after festive coat is not the only treasure unearthed in the HOBBS sale; there are also dresses perfect for the holiday festivities. Key amongst them is the Velvet Marciella Dress, now available at a reduced price of £111.20 down from £139.
This dress comes in a stunning midnight navy and is crafted from silky velvet. It features 3/4 length sleeves ideal for the cooler weather, a neat collar, and has a tunic-style silhouette equipped with pockets – a feature many shoppers adore.
One repeat customer who bought the dress in red the previous year was captivated by the navy version as well, stating: “I bought the same dress last year in a wine colour so know the navy version would be the perfect fit, wonderful quality velvet and very smart and stylish for any occasion.”
To finish off your elegant and festive attire, consider pairing the dress with glittery boots, now discounted to £139 from £189, or Mary Janes with tights for a chic and seasonal look.
Add a touch of glamour to your outfit collection with the Zariah Sequin dress, now slashed in price to £143.20 from its original £179. Catering to a wide range of sizes, from 6 to 22, this stunning piece is ideal for year-round celebrations, adorned with a sheer neck, blouson sleeves and draped in a timeless black hue.
The dress is sure to catch eyes with its bed of sequins and beads, making it a dazzling choice for any festive event. The design incorporates a mini, tunic-style silhouette that looks amazing when paired with sparkling heels, the bejewelled Hobbs’ Kamala bag, and the Rosanne coat.
While many have praised the dress as ‘beautiful’, opinions vary; one customer expressed: “Lovely dress unfortunately the style being quite square did not suit my frame and did not get the sparkle wow so did not keep it It would suit many just not me.” Another buyer’s satisfaction was dulled by complications during their return process.
