H&M 2005 Stella McCartney Printed Tank with Chain

$95.00

H&M 2005 Stella McCartney Printed Tank with Chain from the collaboration that sold out.

This piece was purchased in Belgium by my friend for me, when she went home for a visit. I never wore it, and squirreled it away, untouched, with the tags still attached.

100% cotton tank in white with double layer of fabric at the neck, arms and hem. Print on the side is a woman with a raised stud dot top on and a chain attaching to some sort of winged dinosaur. Black appliqué circle. Raised texture on the leopard.

Size S, there is stretch beyond these measurements taken flat

Bust 36

Waist 17.5

H&M’s most recent collaboration, with Stella McCartney, seemed to be no exception. In a presale press release, McCartney said she wanted to offer “a wider female audience” a line that is “attractively priced yet offers high quality together with a superb fit and details.” But when McCartney’s collection debuted earlier this month, it sold out within hours. So, in truth, the defining characteristic of McCartney’s clothes for H&M is not that they’re cheap, or even that they’re well-designed. It’s that you can’t have them. Those skinny jeans that retailed for $69.90? They’re about as hard to acquire as an Hermès Birkin bag.
