White Stuff

[Louisa]

"Yes, no more oppressing the English working class by preventing them from oppressing the working classes of other countries"

Let's face it, if any country is good at oppressing the working classes it's the British.

On a more serious note, working class people often dont get a choice where they can buy their clothing from. White Stuff is a drop in the ocean, and they carry the ethical label more than likely because it gives them the oppurtunity to charge double the price for a jumper you could get in Primark.

....jumpers from Primark, sandwiches from Boots....

[JoeChuff]

i'm pretty sure that working class people in this country, as oppressed as they are, always have a choice about where to buy their clothes.

[Mark]

has she stopped going on about class war yet? It's soooo 1984

Anyway, welcome White Stuff, you're here at last, it's seemed like ages since Walsh Glazing left. I like the positive entrance made on this forum and whether people like it or not they are now part of the community, they have a business on the main street that takes money from people, just like Somerfield, Blue Mountain Cafe, ED, The Bishop etc. I have yet to see what they have on sale but I already have some clothes so I can't see me needing to buy anything in there for a while.

I'd rather have it than Primark.

Fairly sure Primark is Spanish, White Stuff jolly old British company.

Yeagh - right on Peckham Boy.

How come Peckam gets all the cool stuff, like the Woolworths, the Argos and the Maccy D's?

I say the police staton should get turned into a huge Moon Under the Water.

Louisa. Your posts are good. always plenty of fuel for the fire. Always making me laugh.

BUT STOP HAVING A GO AT THE MUMS!

An easy and unjustified target. I would have thought better of you.

[tiddles]

Hy white stuff good luck from 1 retailer to another:)-D.Do you stock fairtrade clothing? if so let us know and we will make sure southwark council know that you do.If you dont,do you think it may be a possibility?Il be interested to see if you follow top shop and marks & spencers,who do stock fairtrade clothing

[DiscoDex]

Can someone post pics of the place on this blog when its open as would love to see what the place looks like as this east-dulwichite unfortunately overseas away from my beloved ED at the mo. Cheers. :)

I for one say a big welcome to White Stuff! I'm all for the independent retailers on LL, but it's nice to have something new. Will definitely be popping in for a cup of tea and my 10% discount later this week!

[char1ie]

Popped in this morning and looked round the mens stuff. Very boring. Like River Island. No edge. Not impressed. 10% off but so what when there's nothing to buy. I'm too Hoxwich for White Stuff. I'm sooooo Hoxwich!

Charlie, white stuff. Hoxwich... hmmm

[James]

Why do so many men's clothing retailers assume that all men like dull blandness? Have they never heard of the metrosexual?

[Brendan]

I nearly got arrested in Paris for that.

[Huguenot]

Photo please, you pixies you :D

[SeanMacGabhann]

well seeing as it is the ONLY clothes retailers on the lane can we, out of fairness, not expect them to supply every sartorial need?

You don't have to don every item in there but one or two "bland" items in an otherwise experimental outfit can be a good thing

Plus the bag I bought from there a year ago remains the best one I have bought from anywhere - edgy or no

[SeanMacGabhann]

Oi - Huguenot.. you update your blog and we MIGHT post a picture ;-)

[Jeremy]

It's not the only clothes shop on LL, there's one up near the Plough. But it looks a bit shoddy.

[SeanMacGabhann]

* cough *

** Splutter **

Do you mean Amazing Grace?

"a bit shoddy" doesn't begin to cover it. There is more stock in the back of Mrs Robinson clothes-wise

If I was worried about libel laws I wouldn't say that it is a fr... [snip. again.]

[macroban]

The Mind Shop normally has good quality clothes (but it's actually in Grove Vale).

[suzilucy]

HORRAH FOR WHITE STUFF SHOUTING BACK AT THE FUSSY ED-ITES!!!!

I am a well established and rooted female habitant of east Dulwich and have been for a good few years and very much welcome a clothes line on our Lane with some ease of wear and not the namby pamby wishy washy clothes currently availiable.

See you tonight and thank you for the voucher!

;p

It was ok actually.. I would probably buy a few things from there, especially when I next jump a cheap flight to the Alps for a skiing holiday. I still think it looks and feels very much like a High Street shop inside.

[SimonM]

Being neither affluent nor aged between 25 and 40 I'd not dare to cross the portals of the new estbalishment for fear of instant electrocution or worse...

(I am not a battered OAP either, as it goes)
