I found a really cute winter coat/vest today at Goodwill for LO that is Mini Boden brand. I wasn't too familiar with it but checked out the website afterwards but their stuff is pretty cute! Not sure I could afford it if it wasn't used, but cute nonetheless!
Does your LO have any Mini Boden items? How do you like the brand overall?

I loveeee Mini Boden. A lot of my LOs' fall/winter stuff came from there this year. I especially love their appliqué shirts because my LOs love wearing a big animal or truck or airplane on their clothes. The clothes are all really soft and seem to hold up well, too.

Love mini Boden! They sell it at Nordstrom and sometimes have sales. Also, there is Boden for big people!

I love Mini Boden. I've found the quality to be very good - colors last well through washing and the clothes hold up well with wear.

I just bought a new winter coat for DS from there. Granted, he's only worn it twice so far, but the quality seems great and there are nice details that you don't see from other brands.

Someone gave us a Mini Boden outfit as a gift for DD when she was little. It was really nice, but no way am I spending that much on clothes she'll just outgrow in a couple months. So it's highly unlikely she'll be wearing any more MB unless I find it in a consignment store.

I love Mini Boden. I usually get it at Nordstrom or Nordstrom Rack. They have sales on it often.

Lucky you! Great find!
I love Boden and we have a good amount. Both for the kids and for me. It is pricey but has very good resale value - better than Gap or Tea. There are several FB buy/sell/trade groups for Boden. I often can sell Boden clothes for pretty much the same amount I pay. They also have good sales from time to time as well as "spend $25 get $50" vouchers on Rue La La now and then.

I love their stuff! If I could afford it I would dress my kids exclusively in mini Boden and tea collection. 
But alas. I have a few items that are used too.

It's too pricey for me to buy regularly, but I occasionally pick up a few pieces on sale. Great quality!

Love it! It lasts really well, so you can get better value if you're handingbit down to a younger sibling. It's a bit pricey for daily wear (getting paint on it at preschool), so I but on sale, and will buy more when my girls are a bit older (and less messy!)

I buy regular Boden for myself, I have yet to get anything from there for my son, but I imagine it would be of the same quality. The thing I like about the brand is that you don't see it all over the place.

Love it! I always use a 20% + free shipping promo code, which helps bring the price point down. It also has great resale value.

@PurplePeony: @regberadaisy: @yin: definitely WAY too pricey for me but man so cute. The coat was $4 
hopefully I can find some more cute stuff used in the future.

I heard about Boden a long time ago when a family I nanny'ed for bought their daughter all mini Boden- so cute!
I think the girls stuff is to die for, but the boys stuff isn't a whole lot different than what you could find anywhere else for cheaper.
I also like their women's collection

I love Mini Boden! I never buy anything full price there - you can usually get 20-25% off if you keep track of their promos. The clothes wear so well and tend to run a little big, but not wide, so DS can wear them on repeat pretty easily. I love that their boys' clothes have cute graphics that aren't logos, sayings, characters, etc. I also really like their women's clothes for myself!

I got DS a shirt from them for his 1st bday. I really like their quality! However, their price range is a bit high for an infant/toddler since they won't get much wear out of it. I'll definitely re-consider them when DS is in a size longer than a few months!!

@Bao: so lucky! Their stuff resells really well.
Mini Boden is adorable. I have a few pieces for M - I sometimes have luck at our local consignment shop but they price things pretty high for Boden. The quality is amazing.

I only have a few pieces I found at a resale shop, but have been happy with the quality and think their stuff is really cute. I've been contemplating buying a few pieces for this fall/winter, but haven't pulled the gun because I just can't justify the price.

I sometimes like their coats and jackets, but I feel like a lot of their girl's clothes are very Meh for the price.

I get a lot of stuff for DD at Boden, but I'm not a fan of their boy's line. DS just has a few casual tees and a couple button downs.
Ooh. I love their swimwear for both kids.

I think it's adorable! But lo is long and lean, and some of the stuff seems a little too wide for her

@Bao: wow! I wonder if the store just didn't know the brand?! Coats can easily resell for $30-40 around here. Easily!

I love how soft and well made their items are. I think the girls clothing is cuter than the boys but I have some pieces for J.
I try to hit up the Boden sample sale when it comes around. Really great deals and I like seeing them in person first.

@Bao: I'd be stalking that Goodwill on a weekly basis if I were you

Yes we have some stuff and M's gotten a lot of wear out of it. Sometimes they also have it discounted at Nordstrom Rack.

It's good for basics like tees and pants. But I'm not a huge fan of the boys' stuff!
