Their stuff is nice but like >>8186072 said, I wouldn't buy any of it at it's original retail price. The Coo Ca Choo brand they stock is just overpriced Taobao/ebay stuff (those $10 ebay fox bags being sold for $40+.) I would have bought some of it because I like checking stuff out in person, but the mark up is always crazy.
I'd also watch out for their customer service. It might have been a once off, but I had a really shitty experience with them.

>doing some online shopping via their website
>I was a bit worried, but their returns policy was reassuring (any online purchase can be returned in store for 'change of mind' reasons or if it's damaged/faulty)
>find a nice dress
>I double check measurements and the material before I buy it
>fast forward a few days and the dress arrives
>the quality is terrible and it's weirdly shiny
>the sizing is totally off as well
>I don't know if they're actual faults, or if the dress is just shit, but I figure I'm still covered for a return
>I go in store to sort it out
>they deny me a refund and try to tell me that returning it 'inconveniences them' because they don't stock that particular dress
>I make it clear that they're violating their entire returns policy as well as a good chunk of consumer law by telling me that
>the worker ends up calling their manager to see if they can accept it
>20mins later the manager agrees to a return
>the worker makes a big deal about how 'they're doing me a favour by accepting it'


Reading that back makes me sound like a bit of a douche, but I kept my cool and didn't once raise my voice or get agro at the worker. I just expect a business to honour their returns policy and to not try and fuck me over.

On a more positive note, I bought a lovely tweed dress with wood buttons from their clearance outlet. I snagged it for $20, but it was originally $200+
