Jack Wills coming to ED?

[Louisa]

Apparantly theyve been looking at this area for a while according to a friend who works at head office. I have absolutely no idea what the clothing range is like as i've yet to visit one of their stores and my friend is a little absent on detail. No idea why they would come here, dont see the point personally.

So a clobber shop I've never heard of might be opening in the area.

Louisa has no idea what sort of togs might be on offer and furthermore her contact in 'head office' can't help out either.

And in conclusion Louisa has no idea why a schmuta store that she has never visited and no idea what they might be flogging, should open around these parts.

I can only agree with the last part of the post, don't see the point of the post personally.

Ouch! They sell sweatshirts beloved by Sloanes. I think there's one on Northcote Rd in Battersea, where there is also a White Stuff and a Jo Jo Maman Bebe. It's only a matter of time until LL gets a Space NK!

[duchessofdulwich]

they had one in brighton its a very nice shop. casual/smart preppy type clothes

[duchessofdulwich]

hope they do open one up id definatly be in there

[Ann]

This thread is a wind up? I'd be happy if we had one but I'd surprised, it would at least need square footage of White Stuff.

[duchessofdulwich]

maybe they are holding out for a larger retail unit like white stuff. i dont see why it should be a wind up? i heard waitrose were looking for somewhere in east dulwich

[ruffers]

The edf version of Godwin's Law comes into play there.

[womanofdulwich]

Surely the horrible co op chemists is too big and that could go somewhere MUCH smaller.

[jimmyraj]

Oh dear. White stuff is bad enough, but Jack Wills surely a step too far. Overpriced preppy wear for uneducated sloaney types who like rugger shirts with collars turned up and Oakley sunglasses on top of their head

[sillywoman]

Eerrgh! Jack Wills sells outrageously overpriced preppy stuff to suckers with too much money & not enough brain cells. Typical prices; ?70 for a sweatshirt, nearly ?50 for a bra & knickers, a dress anywhere from ?70 - ?300. Definitely more Cla'am than ED.

14 year old daughters group went through a JW phase last year. They soon got over it when they realised what a rip off it was. When the latest catalogue came recently it went straight in the bin accompanied by silent cheering from me.

WoD - I have a feeling you're trolling & I agree with Ann. A Waitrose . . . now you're talking.

There is a triple shop site on the market on NCR opposite Hope & Greenwood, Blue Mountain and Dr Boo. Would make a lovely JW.

IMHO

[genwilliams]

Don't they sell sweatpants with JACK WILLS emblazoned across the bottom?

Not keen.

I'd like it if Anthropologie thought to open a little branch in ED! It would suit the area much better.

W**F

[dubluke]

urgh, god forbid

[dennis]

I misread this post, I thought it said 'there is a tripe shop ..... in NCR'

The street is full of offal shops, it would be a change to have one honest enough to admit it.

Jack wills is absolutely perfect Dulwich demographic, not ED, but as most of Dulwich shops here now it makes sense. They sell to public school kids. Nothing wrong with that, if you are going to pitch to a market, it might as well be one with a disposable income. Also, regarding the posts above - 'the shop site is opposite Dr. Boo, Hope & Greenwood, Blue Mountain cafe....' sounds like a perfect store position to me. Mater can get her nails done in Boo while Theo and Imelda can get new togs for Bestival.

Oh please no, that's just round the corner from mine :-S

This store sounds awful to me, I had never known anything about them other than my friend worked for them for a while behind the scenes, she wont be invited back for a chill sesh and bottle of chardy in the garden ever again after hearing some of this! It amazes me how these places manage to survive. I had never heard of White Stuff, JoJo whatever its called bebe or the other place next to white stuff, before they decided to move into this area! And now to top it off we have another bloody bizarre toff store opening up to sell overpriced goods to ladies of leisure! Bring back Woolies!

I bet you said that when the concept of web 2.0 was explained to you... all very anachronistic.

I must admit I'm thrilled by this. Absolutely adore Jack Wills :))

[cate]

Had a look at their website and they have duvet covers for ?120.

[sophiesofa]

Jack Wills is for rich Bristol University students IMO
