a year agoA very well laid out and attractive store. Lots of beautiful items there, and a large variety. If I had read the reviews about pricing and the lack of changing rooms I probably wouldn’t have gone for a visit today, but I’m glad I did. I don’t understand how you can sell that many clothing items and not have an area to try on, and the prices are definitely quite high. But I am in love with my purchases and the service I received was very good. They must of had/have a lot of issues with theft as the team members are very watchful of shoppers. Perhaps they could run a few sales to clear out some of the older stock and cater more budgets.

3 months agoEnded up leaving after hearing the female blonde lady at the counter telling teenagers off for the way they pay via their phones and not cash, she then basically insulted their cultures. Wildly over priced items, store is lovely and clean and well set out. Pity about the staff member and prices.

4 months agoGood place if you're buying, bad if you're donating. Wasted my time countless times trying to donate here - always good stuff, but have been sent back home for different reasons, including "wrong time" to donate - it was a few units of clothes, it's not like you need anyone especific to analyse or carry or whatever - just take a look at the bag of clothes to see if you want it! But no! Wrong time: come back another day...

2 years agoI think as a charity you are brilliant, but with this claudelands store needs some new management. Most items are on the higher price of what you would expect. Loads of beautiful clothing items, but quite alot are washed out, have holes or stains that have not been spotted. I asked a member of staff if they have fitting rooms, to be told find a discreet corner of the store to take off my shirt. Not very ideal for my wife. Staff are very friendly and polite and the shop is tidy, but please review the prices.

4 months agoDisappointing to hear Helen the retail manager berating an older lady volunteer in front of a shop full of customers, for getting her Covid and flu vaccinations. “You don’t need them and they will kill you” is a staggeringly irresponsible thing to say. Otherwise, good selection, tidy shop.
