Louisa Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 White Stuff had a link on their page with Dulwich being advertised as a new store opening in March, however, Dulwich has now been removed from their list of new stores opening in the future. Anyone else know more about this? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/270-white-stuff-change-of-mind/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 And there hasn't been any action yet in/around the old Walsh Glazing unit, as far as I can see...

Jo Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Shame if so. I know I'm in a minority but I like them - cheap and cheery skirts and frocks, and the option of getting a plain old t-shirt without having to schlep to town was appealing. I like the stuff in ED but some of it just isn't 'everyday', nor is it cheap for students like me.

jim_the_chin Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 but thats why i object to the place, because its not cheap - its 25 quid for a t-shirt - how is this different to other places in ed?

Jo Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Because the cheapest t-shirt I saw in Ed today was just under ?40 and wasn't even that nice...I'm not saying it's rock bottom, just normal. I've looked at men's t-shirts in there and they're ?50! The prices in Moo Too are just shocking as well and their stuff is even weirder.

TJS Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Bottom line, anything is better than 3 empty shops (all of the old W.Glazing), boarded up on LL. So we will prob have to wait another 6 months, and remember Parkhill propoerties own it, so don't expect a tee t-shop owned locally....

karter Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 tjs..... you are so right, parkhill own half of LL. Difficult for us little landlords to buy anything and deal with local business. They own the proposed new gymn aswell. Whatever they own you can be sure will be a chain (Like caffe nero) as they own that too. But then again you never know, the new kitchen shop isnt a chain, nor is green and blue.....but that is a tiny selection in their porfolio...........

bald marauder Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 I heard that white stuff were having some problems agreeing the terms of the lease.They had been planning to open by end of March - though that must look pretty unlikely now.It would be nicer to have an independent boutique selling a selection of different brands - but I guess it's difficult to please everyone even with this approach. Ed's on North Cross Road for example has a small selection of menswear, but nothing that quite appeals to me. Does anyone buy stuff from there? I don't even know what I would want from a local boutique really, so much men's clothing is disappointing/expensive or both. But it would be nice to have more choice than we've currently got...

Their clothes are trendy yet extremely reasonable and cover a wide range, to suit children, men, women and pregnant women. Brilliant I'd say.

Jeremy Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 H&M clothes fall to bits - but if you want something which is essentially disposable, then I guess it's fine.

If you're layering for example, a few ?5 t-shirts do the trick - who really cares what they look like underneath during winter. Better than paying ?30 a pop at a more upmarket place in my opinion.

QZ Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Hmm need to ask how someone produces clothes so cheaply (and high volume driving price down is not entirely the right answer)?30 for one T over longer term = better quality, less wastage?5 x 4 for four Ts over short term....Different horses, different courses ;-) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/270-white-stuff-change-of-mind/#findComment-5346 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louisa Posted March 9, 2007 Author Share Posted March 9, 2007 I agree it would be a great compromise, but H&M have always worked to a big floor space in modern type buildings, I cant see them opening up a store on LL..

Jeremy Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 OK... not really the outcome most of us were hoping for, but I think we all agree that it's better than an empty shop.

bald marauder Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Just like to point out that amongst the ED newbies 'with money', there must be plenty like myself who are relatively new (18 months) but don't have any more money than 'locals'. We regularly go down to Primark in Peckham - and while I know they've probably got even more ethical issue than H&M - ?5.99 for a men's v-neck jumper is hard to beat...)

Tom Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 I used to work for an H&M supplier years ago.At that time small children are used as workers in its supply chain. Maybe not in factories, but picking cotton in the fields etc.Don't get me started on Primark. Shame the entire chain didn't burn down - and it was just the warehouse..

bald marauder Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 As an industry person (even if not an official spokesperson), which clothing company (both in ED and generally - I'm wary of getting moved to the Lounge!)do you think has the most ethical supply chain?
