Darn Good Yarn Anmeldelser 90

Excellent customer service, quick efficient delivery and quality skirts. I ordered the ‘5 for 3’ offer and I’m very happy with length, size, quality and colour (just asked for a variety).
Because they are reversible they are very versatile. Highly recommended

I ordered the three skirt bundle, two maxi, one mini and requested my colour preferences. The skirts took some time to arrive and I was pleased with the maxis, beautiful fabrics but the mini was disappointing. I noticed a really unpleasant odour from them when I took them out of the packaging to try them on and wanted to wash my hands after handling them. I decided to wash them all and when wet and hung on the line to dry, I could see the mini was full of snags. I emailed them to complain and was impressed with their response, keep the damaged one and they’d send a fee replacement. I was asked to choose length and colour. The replacement arrived and is really lovely. I love wearing the skirts and feel they’re unique so although the first bundle was smelly and damaged, I can’t fault the customer service! All’s well that ends well.

I took a chance and lost. Asked for yellow and red got little red and a lot of green :-(.

Received 3 wrap skirts all were in the colours I specified and the colours and patterns were well matched and interesting. Really feel like I got 6 skirts as I love the reverses just as much. Material was mainly silk or else nice satiny acrylic. A few little holes had been skilfully patched with a mirrored sequin which did not detract from the overall appearance of any skirt. I feel Darn Good delivered on its mission to recycle textiles and benefit workers in India. I look forward to wearing these colourful skirts joyfully and mindfully in the upcoming Australian summertime.

I was very excited to be purchasing a refurbished silk sari from artisans. Nope. Refurbished is one thing, stains and snags and holes is something else entirely Also, as someone who sews, I am very saddened by the quality of the work. The seams are sloppy, the stitching is sloppy, threads hanging, folds are wadded and bunches in places. Very little care or pride was taken when this skirt was sewn. I do feel that my choice of anything but yellow was considered and the material and patterns are nice. The fabric is NOT sari silk, though. One side is a polyester blend and the other a thin , loosely woven cotton. I’ll be purchasing my next sari somewhere else. 🙁

Ordered 5 of the sari wrap skirts using the buy 2 get 3 free special. Took a gamble on colours and wasn’t disappointed. However, one of the skirts had stains visible through the packaging and all of the skirts have flaws in the quality of the sewing.

Every skirt has hanging bits of overlocking where the fabric was missed leaving frayed edges, the stitching to join panels of fabric together within the skirt is wonky and bulky, the edges of the material were sewed and not pressed so that seam is bulky and sticks up. Top stitching is no where near the edge, the holes created for the ties for the skirt vary hugely and some threaten to tear through the waistband of the skirt.

It seems like no care was taken in the making of these skirts. The stitches visible are long and so it looks like these skirts were thrown together as quickly as possible and sent to shipping with little worry of quality or consistency.

I wouldn’t order from this company again and would rather deconstruct the skirts and use the silk for another project or just create identical skirts for myself now that I know how they are made. For a total of AU$224, the skirts are nowhere near the quality they needed to be at roughly $45 each.
