Frette Tesco - 'Luxury' Bedsheets/candles etc

rustyzip

I was super excited to see these offers. I'm a sucker for beautiful candles and bedsheets.

Has anyone redeemed any stickers yet?
Have tried to find out how big the diffuser/candles are but no one has got back to me.

:rolleyes:

Hi there......was bit underwhelmed by this offer - as today, Tesco were selling the leftovers from a previous offer (Alessi cup and saucer) for (possibly) less than the original deal.
I have no idea if these candles smell nice, but I feel it's a bit of a con (mention Italian and we think it's good/better than the usual!)- why not give an offer on Irish stuff??? Or a discount on something useful ie milk, cheese etc

I think supervalue did an offer years ago on Stephen Pearce (irish designer) bed linen, raging I missed it!

I was underwhelmed by their previous offers on cutlery and crockery. A manufacturers RRP means nothing, and is often inflated 2 or even 3 fold. A retailer is expected to sell for less than this so call RRP providing the illusion of great value.

They are havin a giraffe with those RRPs. Regularly see those diffusers in dealz and €2 shops. Ditto the cheapo candle.

Don't think you'll see the Frette brand in Dealz.

I'm guessing this range is made for Tesco as the RRPs are a lot less than you will find on the Frette site. I bought one of the single duvet covers yesterday in Roma and it seems to be very nice. I don't think you will find a similar 100% cotton, 300 thread count duvet cover elsewhere for the 19.99 that Tesco charge.

The duvet cover is made in India, whereas I presume that the high-priced ones on the Frette site are made in Italy.

It's grand....not a very strong scent. I prefer something a bit more powerful....I am a Yankee Candle freak though!
