mrs robinson boutique

[HOMum]

Anyone visited this new addition to the lane?? which has taken over the jerk rock cafe? if you have whats it like?

[TJS]

Had a quicky look on Saturday - very posh and very expensive, but well laid out......i am sure they will get custom....nice little addition to LL

[KJ]

I bought my sofa there - they have some very nice stuff

[melbournite]

some of the handbags that they had in the old shop are cheaper in Selfridges. They have some lovely clothes though.

I've just moved to ED and thought I wld save some pennies since there aren't many accessible shops. wrong - have already bought three items from this store - its beaut!

[SeanMacGabhann]

oh jules jules jules - textbook error, making your first post a glowing recommendation for a new business

Now, hand on your heart, say you are not connected with them and you will come along to the next forum drinks at the Forest Hill Tavern Friday next week and meet everyone?

[mockney piers]

I'm sure she's genuine, I told 'Mrs Robinson' about the good feedback on the forum months ago.

and pushing the drinks hard I see sean. ;-)

Jules - you have a character witness - apologies

(a character witness who is meant to be sorting photo albums but still.... ;-) )

Think jayd5 means Chandelier as Mrs R. hasn't replaced Jerk place.

[dc]

Oh yes it has (well the pantomime season is approaching fast).

It's in the old Jerk Rock location, next to the closed tyre shop and diagonally across from the 'old' Mrs Robinson which is still there.

I've visited the boutique, which indeed has replaced Jerk Rock, yesterday, as I need a new winter coat. The two sales personnel were really friendly. The prices are boutique prices, so hey, expect to pay a bit more, probably similar to Liberty's!

I didn't get a coat there but there is a lovely little swing jacket that caught my eye... very Audrey Hepburn ;-)

Went into Mrs Robinson for first time today. Absolutely lovely clothes but all teeny sizes. I am by no means large but am curvy and I struggled to find anything. Money was burning my pocket but there was absolutely nothing. Size 16 is the average size for a British woman. Shouldn't we all be able to buy beautiful clothes!

[buggie]

oh dear, was hoping this place would be different - thanks for the heads up EDMummy.

Is so disappointing that so few places in ED cater to sizes 16/18 - white stuff and sainsburys are the only ones that spring to mind :(

[macroban]

I wonder why their target customers are size 12(ish) or less.

Seems a strange business decision.

More sporting - they're more difficult to hit.

[buggie]

... wouldn't be so sure - I've been running since feb (well, intermittantly - have to stop to eat/sleep/work etc) and only got to 18-14 size (depending on the top/bottoms!)

[luddite]

if your looking for bigger sizes and reaonably priced clothes have you been into grace and favour recently ? they are selling recycled ie second hand and some vintage clothes all cleaned of course { mostly womens } ive bought some lovley things in there mainly about the ten pound mark and in very good nick ,good labels etc they get new stuff each week :}

[trinity]

Just popped into this shop for the first time today and the clothes they are selling are fantastic (althought expensive). Also very attentive and helpful sales assistants and so I had a very pleasant shopping experience.
