The White Company

[Louisa]

Any ever shopped in one of their stores? And before you ask yes this is ED related.

Louisa.

[PeckhamRose]

Yes.

[Reg Smeeton]

Yes. At least twice.

[george74]

If they are coming to ED that is great news!

[singalto]

Unless I'm mistaken, they've been in ED for several years and are expensive.

[edcam]

How is it East Dulwich related? There isn't one here. There's a White Stuff, which is a fish of an entirely different feather.

[PeckhamRose]

That's what I thought. How is it ED related Louisa?

[woodrot]

w00t

[Louisa]

Sorry guys, not White Stuff, The White Company - I was confused at first too. One of my friends asked me if I had been to see the really nice candles for sale in there and me being confused and a big candle person went into White Stuff thinking she was talking about there and had a sales assistant give me a half baffled look. I felt a bit of an idiot. Is there one on North Cross Road? Does this store even exist around here? I'm now more confused than ever and don't even know if said store exists or not.

Louisa.

[edcam]

It does exist Louisa but not in ED. It's fancy schmancy smelly stuff and linen. There's one in Covent Garden and, erm, other places. White Stuff is all clothes (and not very good ones.)

[Inkmaiden]

Did your friend mean Roullier White on Lordship Lane? http://www.roullierwhite.com/the-fragrant-home-230-c.asp

[Louisa]

Inkmaiden thank you for that link I've just discovered a number of candles on the website you supplied so I shall venture in today.

Louisa.

[Jah Lush]

Had to be done. Sorry Louisa.

 

[Flagellator]

You'll probably pay over the rap on whatever it is in that shop. Good luck.

[Jah Lush]

Yeah, true dat.

By the way is the cookwank shop still with us or has it gone?

[EDLove]

The fig and pomegranate reed diffuser from Roullier White is heaven.

[PeckhamRose]

I like The White Company, I have bought clothes (on sale!) from there before; there is a branch opposite the rear of Peter Jones, off Sloane Square, one in Marylebone High Street, and one in Westfield Stratford, and they are on line. They don't just sell clothes, and their bed linen I love. But yes, they are expensive but I have never experienced poor quality from them. I think East Dulwich would be just the place they'd want to have a store.

End of adverts. I normally get paid for this kind of thing!

[Mick Mac]

I'm not aware I've ever bought anything from the White Company but I seem to get junk email from them weekly. Trying to sell me white stuff.

[giggirl]

I bought some Christmas decorations from them last year and now they won't leave me alone.

[Mick Mac]

Their Christmas cards were completely white. It didn't even snow that year.

[giggirl]

Did you take it out of the envelope?

[Mick Mac]

Snow, I didn't.

[MrBen]

Woman who doesn't like poncey shops asks where to find a poncey shop.

It must be a wind up.

10/10!

Who are you OP and what have you done with louisa? She has been very clear, spending any more than ?1.50 on a burger is middle class wankery,yet the white company has a single candle for sale at ?56, and that is a sale price, used to be ?70.

Something is afoot I do believe.

[Louisa]

I'm happy to spend money on candles, wine and real ale, if they are in a reasonably priced range. I personally think a candle of the size I want, handmade with a beautiful scent, is a wonderful thing for a one off buy. For me a bargain would be between ?35 and ?57, anymore would be daylight robbery, any less would burn too quickly and smell horrible. A burger on the other hand, made with some bizarre road kill and sold from some ageing rusting camper van somehow deeming it 'cool', in the stated range of ?6 to ?12 and bought on a regular basis is the ultimate in middle class oneupmanship.
