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.

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.

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.

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!


Louisa.

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

    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
    • Moving into a new place and need both a wardrobe and a chest of drawers, ideally collection Friday. Thanks!
    • Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's.
