Joie de Vivre

I have had two pairs of Joie de Vivre jeans bought from CSs. They fit really well and I would willingly buy them full price in order to get the exact style and colour. However, the only reference I can find to them is a company of the same name which sells cottony ecological type clothes and no jeans or stretch trousers at all.

I wondered whether any of you have come across this make from a high street store, as I suspect that this is where they came from originally.

    I may be wrong...but Matalan springs to mind? Maybe someone can confirm!

    Thank you OnandUp - I will be very glad indeed if it turns out to be Matalan as their prices are really sharp, and I am obviously happy with the quality.

    I don't normally visit them but I will make a point to do so next weekend.

    There are several items listed on ebay as "Joie de Vivre (Matalan)" so think you're right!!:T

    Thank you Bronnie. It comes as something of a relief it may be Matalan - it's so good to find something well fitting and comfortable that needn't cost a bomb. I can feel a good shop coming up .....

    I went right round Matalan yesterday and couldn't find the Joie de Vivre label. They do have a French-sounding one but not the same. I think the Joie de Vivre has been superseded now, so will just have to trawl round all the multiples when I have time trying to find something similar. That, or go round the charity shops?
