  • If I could give 0 stars, I would. I purchased a sweater for over €300 and only noticed after wearing it that there was a hole at the front of the neckline large enough that the skin on my neck was clearly visible through it. This is clearly a defective product. Customer support insisted this was “normal” and refused to accept a return solely because the item had been worn, even though the defect only became apparent when worn. At the same time, a repair was offered, which raises the obvious question of why an allegedly non-defective product would need to be repaired at all. The proposed solution was to ship the sweater across Europe to Spain and then back across Europe to me. For a brand that markets itself as slow fashion, this is an absurd approach. No refund, no partial compensation, and no reasonable alternative were offered. Communicating with customer support felt like a small battle, involving a long back-and-forth. At one point, I was even told I would have to pay €15 in return shipping for a defective item. For a product at this price point, this level of quality control and customer service is unacceptable. Expecting the customer to bear the consequences of a defective product is unfair and irresponsible. Overall, it gives the impression that the customer comes last. I will not order again and cannot recommend this company to others.

  • I gotta say, the quality is high, but for a brand that has a majority of it's products made from wool, they need to do a better job cleaning the wool. I literally spend every wearing picking out twigs and burrs from my cardigan. Not an exaggeration. It's an itchy mess that improves with every plucking, but seriously? I don't want to work for my clothing to be merely acceptable to wear. I also have two cotton sweaters that I think are high quality, and significantly more comfortable. They are quite bulky though, and I find myself wearing them less because bulky sweaters make sense in the winter for a couple months, but the wear time is short and doesn't extend into the spring or fall. In short, if you live in a very cold climate give them a try, but be wary of the wool which might be a preferred material in a cold climate.

  • I love babaa and have two great pieces. It is so well made and HEAVY. I wear the cardigan daily and it has held up so well. A true investment and something I’ll own for years. They have two big sales a year and that’s when I buy my pieces.

  • I saved up to buy my first babaa sweater and was so excited to receive it. Unfortunately after I got it and tried it on, it just didn’t fit my body correctly. I am 5’11” with long arms and it was disproportionate. I immediately packaged it up and returned, knowing it wasn’t worth the $300 for me. I just received an email saying my sweater was worn and stained, therefore they had to ship the item back to me and it cannot be returned. They attached a photo of what looked like genuinely the smallest amount of deodorant that clung to the inside of the fabric. I asked if there was anything I could do and assured I had only tried it on once, that I was more than happy with an exchange for a sweater that may fit me better. I was met with an extremely rude customer service email saying there’s no exceptions and just being pretty demeaning overall. I will never be purchasing again.
