I love everything Cath Kidston but there was an employee of this store that unapologetically…read morefollowed me around the store like I was going to steal something. She was so obvious with her behavior she might as well of just said "I'm following you around because I think you're going to steal". Treating all of your customers as thieves is very odd.

This branch opened in 2007 and has really added something to Thames Street. Ever popular for trademark vintage-look fabrics, accessories and clothing, the shop appeals across the ages. I love their cute floral summer clogs, pretty bags and capsule clothing collection.

I'm aware that I sometimes use these reviews as a bit of a confessional: Primark is a typical case…read morein point. It's definitely a bit of a guilty secret for me (secret rather than pleasure...). The guilt comes in on two levels - first: because I wonder about how their items are produced, when they sell them so cheaply, and second: because it's so easy to become lured into buying items you don't really need. Throw-away fashion and all that! I could launch into a whole debate about a consumer society but it's probably not the time or place... The upside of their stock, besides the accessibility of their prices, is the up-to-the-minute, bang-on-trend styling. The downsides are often the finish, the attention to detail (hardly surprising) and the way that sizes can vary greatly from one garment to another (even in the same style). Also, be aware that when they do produce a really 'hot' style you'll have to move fast or they'll fly-off the shelves before you can reach them.

After being inside this store once, I now suffer from PTSD. Every time I hear the name or see the…read morestore, I experience intense anxiety and occasionally suffer from a mental breakdown, meaning I have to be escorted to the hospital. I see the store every time I blink and am haunted by cheap phone accessories and Chinese ripoff products. A truly chilling experience 0/10 would never bother to waste my time here again.

The member of staff was extremely unprofessional. I asked a straightforward question in relation to…read morethe price he quoted (which I perceived to be on the high side). My question should have been met with a straightforward answer. Instead the member of staff proceded to make some condescending implications about my item in the most passive-agressive manner. My advice would be to avoid this business. I suspect that the abundant glowing 5-star reviews on Google (nearly no 4-star reviews or below) are either incentivised or fake.

This is just a lovely, lovely shop. They've got some lovely jewellery in there - really gorgeous…read moreold pieces as well as newer stuff. I've never gone in to buy jewellery, but to get watch accessories (batteries/watch straps). These people really know their stuff and they're wonderful personalities to boot. So friendly, and really kind - how many shopkeepers do you know who give your kids a pound to buy an ice cream??

The prices are reasonable and the staff are very knowledged on all the products and how to use them. I choose home delivery which is fast and free for orders over £49 and £4.95 for orders under that.

I think this is a great place for presents and its a very sociable thing to do because you can all make something different and then compare. Check out the website and have a look !

However, as some reviewers of model shops seem to forget, the shop exists to provide a living. I can understand why model shops get upset with people picking their brains and then buying elsewhere.

Ah, Jigsaw How I love their accessories but miss their lovely specialist shop in Market Place…read moreStill, I can come-in here and find most of their covetable handbags, sumptuous scarves and estimable shoes amongst the clothing line. It doesn't quite have the same special qualities, though For me, their accessories are their special and differentiating factor. I love their belts and have purchased several but, alas, they haven't really lived-up to their expectations, in a practical sense, although they look gorgeous. One, Moroccan-style - with multi-jewelled silver trim, is a little onerous to wear - a touch heavy and jangly, so spends more time in my wardrobe than it does on me Another, very expensive plaited-leather, wide, black number has an impractical closure and doesn't stay put, so loses its impact (in every way)... However, I do cherish a gorgeous embossed and embroidered Indian wool 'pashmina'/wrap that acquires compliments every time I wear it and a fabulous pair of pink-and-black snakeskin -look shoes, I bought here. Staff vary between brusque, aloof and very helpful
