United Colours of Benetton

[Solachica]

I've been seeing their ads on papers for yrs now and even the Billboard by the lighthouse in POS sometime back.
I see they advertising winter collection...scarfs, coats etc.
They have to be making money to be operating so long.
So anyone ever went and check them out in the Mall>?
T&T people actually go there and buy winter stuff? :?
What do they really sell? :?




*edit* spelt Benetton wrong in initial post

[vaio]

i don't really like their stuff...but they have to be makin a profit to still be around...

[Solachica]

[sylvestter]

they have really strange clothes....

[KFCSpicy]

their clothes is not strange it's just that u all have no need for it. sighhhhhhhhhhhh!

I like their stuff but I don't often need to wear cardies in trinidad unless i get one to keep in the office for when they start with the over zealous cooling of the building.

They also sell other things too u know? Maybe if u all go there and just browse the one in Long Circular Mall is it? then u all might like one or two things. Plus when I home if I can buy something to bring back here cheaper than it would cost me in pounds I doing so in stores like Benetton dread. Is not everybody like de drag mall eh? lmaoooooooo! sorry Tent City Mall now...lmaoooo! What trinidad needs is some 24 hour shops. Cause when I dress to go out I does change my mind about my outfit and want something new. Maybe I can start a business like that when I retire? :o

[Pumkinvinefamilee]

Tell me thay they not really selling WINTER STUFF in trinidad????????

[Pumkinvinefamilee]

Tell me thay they not really selling WINTER STUFF in trinidad????????

[Solachica]

Well I never went in the store but their ad said winter stock now available, scarf, coats etc.

I see in Trini in some urban clothing stores they have men winter jackets for sale.
I was like ***!

[amzz]

What's so shocking about a couple stores selling winter clothing?

[Solachica]

:?
wht we going to do with winter clothing in Triniland?
I ent mean a lil sweater and light jacket eh. I mean the heavily padded, full blown freezing yuh tail off kinda jackets.
Ytday it was raining and I gone in Mall and I see this man with a winter coat. :? he mustbe does feel real cold.
:mrgreen: But I have a winter coat in meh closet eh but I doh wear tht here

[amzz]

sola, so why do u have a winter coat in your closet?

[Solachica]

:?
:mrgreen: But I have a winter coat in meh closet eh but I doh wear tht here
:roll:

[Solachica]

u go Canada so many times am sure you must be have one too.

[amzz]

:?
:mrgreen: But I have a winter coat in meh closet eh but I doh wear tht here
:roll:


this response hasn't answered my question yuh know :roll:

anywayz.. I wish that more stores did sell winter clothing.
and Im sure many who venture to cold countries during winter, for whatever reasons,
feel the same.

[Solachica]

You want me to spell it out for you tht I don't wear it HERE? :?

[amzz]

sola, so its OKAY to have a winter coat in a closet in trini but NOT to SELL?? dais what u saying?

[Sumana]

Tell me thay they not really selling WINTER STUFF in trinidad????????


Why not? Trinis travel very frequently, and if they're goin for winter they just buy up stuff - also caters to ex pats

[Solachica]

I wud not buy my winter stuff here. Wud be cheaper and have more variety in foreign.
Wht I didn't buy in most cases I borrowed.

[Sumana]

the "west" crews will do that girl

[Solachica]

:mrgreen:
Oh ho.
But not only West eh I seen many people feeling very cold in Trini recently :lol:

[Sumana]

yeah it's sickening...:S cos it doh be cold at all

[Solachica]

Eaxctly :D
Although there is a classroom in UWI tht we call the cold room. After an hour in there you feel your fingertips numbing :? When the Lecturer says time for a break everyone runs out to sun out like corbeau :lol:
But even with tht cold I haven't been to class with a jacket. See lotsa people walking around with jackets though but just the light ones not the winter ones. :geek:

[Ali]

If they advertise clothing for rel cold AC and not winter dey mite get more sale :mrgreen:

[Solachica]

:D Yea Ali.
Like at work in the Conference room if the a/c is turned up you wud freeze like in the cold room. :lol:
and doh talk abt if rain falling....when rain falling I see clerical staff turn down or turn off ac

[vaio]

i wear my jacket in the A/c all day long..

[Solachica]

Vaio but is it a winter jacket or just one of those lighter ones? :?

[Ali]

And dey should have a dry season collection and a wet season collection

dry season collection: vest and short pants
wet seaon collection: umbrella and a tall boots

[vaio]

Vaio but is it a winter jacket or just one of those lighter ones? :?

nah..its a wind breaker....(the light ones) :mrgreen: ....but i also have the heavy ones....don't use though since we have no winter here.... :mrgreen:

[Solachica]

[Solachica]

[Solachica]

We ent even know which Ministry we really falling under yet.
We floating in cold offices :lol:

[vaio]

ah thought you fall under env't...?

[Solachica]

It was a subsection of Environment but yrs and yrs ago we were under Agri.
Well it confirmed we get grouped with Environment.
Wonder if HR wud get transfered with us. It does be a mess when Ministrys get changed so. Down to the letterhead and stickers on jeep does need changing.

I looked online at the Benetton site and I don't like their clothes to much nuh. It kinda to colourful for my taste.

[KFCSpicy]

yuh is ah goth ah wah?

my uncle wukking agri for years... fuss name is Hugh.

[Solachica]

No I am not goth. I just wud prefer solid colours and not stripes etc. Most of my clothes are blue, green, brown.

[Sumana]

They have solids but like in baby tees 'n maybe shirts
god i haven't b een in awhile
