Davina Boutique - 82 Lordship Lane

[SeanMacGabhann]

Is there that many new users defending it? - I counted 2. Which is 2 too many (not to defend the shop. but too many IF they are connected) but not SO many

I can't see why if anyone is connected with the shop they don't just say so - you know "we've opened a shop, we have identified market x, it won't be to everyone's taste but come along and make your own mind up, no need to be so bitchy"

It's worked for G&B and Seacow...

Pretending to big up somewhere you are connected with is bad form and I normally moan about it - but in this case even if the "new people" are connected, it WAS after 4 or 5 pages of fairly vicious attacks - I have SOME sympathy with them. I still think they are better off engaging with potential audience

I live in croydon i have a shop on lordshiplane so i must be a classy italian chav then. Get it right all the chavs are in bromley not croydon.

Croydon has the drunks, troublemakers and trash who like to kill each other on a friday night and as i type i hear the familiar friday night police siren go on and on and on.

Back to topic, chavs would never be seen in a shop like davina because their benefits wouldnt stretch that far, they need money for icelands, pay the bills and the catalogue, so Davina is not a chav shop its a upmarket place that caters to certain tastes

Irina, calm down, you're talking like a shop girl. I bow to you and your family for breaking the Croydon mould and not only becoming educated yourself but having the good fortune, against all the odds to make a successful marriage. Well done!!

I'm pleased you have made a success in business, I'm assuming if it's Croydon based then it involves sports wear for people who wear it while actively avoiding any form of physical activity.

My I take issue with you about the accusation of snobbery? I have the smallest of staff possible for a gentleman. My valet is allowed to donate my cast-offs to his family, my cook is at liberty to carry home each tripe and entrail that I'm not encined towards, and as for the tweenie, I've made no advances upon her person. 'Pon my Sam.

Most of the time just so you know, the silver spoon isn't in my mouth, I tuck it rakishly behind my right ear.

Just pulling your leg!! The silver is in the safe keeping of my valet, Stebbings. And he knows to keep it safe, or else he and his family will be summarily dismissed with no reference and a stain on them that will follow them through society.

THEY SHALL RUE THE DAY THEY CROSSED ME! ! !

Nice to make your acquaintance Irina, I hope one day we may take tea together.

East Dulwich silver spoons are for cocaine.

fuck me shoes for the SE22 masses.

I dnt see what the problem is with this shop - are people concerned it may attact the wrong sort of customer who may upset the calm of prosperous ED with their proley tart shoe wearing ways and bad language ?

Its an ostentatious bauble shop - not too dissimilar to 80 % of the other shops on LL

It must be an improvement from that heinous shop with its offensive MOR art that it's replaced surely ? At least you can wear shoes.( I have it on good authority that ist is possible to wear their range, albeit for short distances )

ho hum

If it's 'middle of the road', can it be heinous and offensive?

You're going to say yes, aren't you?

Should'a seen that one coming.

[snorky]

yup

did you ever have the misfortune to wander around the place ?

if goldfrapp and coldplay could produce a bastard child who became an artist, this is what it would be like

[RosieH]

Don't think these are proley tart shoes, some are around ?200 a pop, and Longchamp bags are decidedly not for the scummy mummy

And actually i'm going to eat humble pie. Having slgged it on the basis of the website, i decided to do the right thing and look inside the shop. There ARE some nasties in there, but i saw a couple of pairs that i really liked and am contemplating a purchase - i'd get the bag too, but is a bit pricey for me....

[Asset]

okay, perhaps I was a bit harsh yesterday. It is not shit and I think I was one of the first to defend the place when others were deriding it as being not right for round these parts oo aaar. I did get a bit wound up by the - okay not loads, 2 - new posters getting all uppity (still suspicious).

I did go in looking for a specific kind of thing and there was nothing in there that grabbed me particularly and most of the shoes do look a bit tacky IMO, I hate shoe shopping though. As I said earlier for ?200 I'd rather spend a wee bit more and get some Louboutins but chacun a son gout or summing like that.

[CF]

hmmmmmmmmmmm - looks tacky to me - most of the shoes in there are wrong!

[snorky]

fetish shoes for the well heeled

[Scylla100]

Nya ahh - They had the cutest little shores for kids, these little bootie things. Awwwww.
