Lavish Alice

Found the gift I was after in about two minutes using the search bar, which I didn't expect from a smaller shop. The item arrived in a box that was sealed properly and nothing was damaged. I'll be back when I need something for the house.

I needed a warm winter coat after moving north and the cold caught me out last year. Took a while to decide but the sizing guide here helped and the wool mix is decent. Delivery was slow, about nine days, and I had to message them to ask where it was. The coat is warm and fits well though, so I'm glad I went with it.

Bought the midi wrap dress in navy last spring and I've worn it to a wedding, two birthdays and a work do already. Still holds its shape after loads of washes and the seams haven't gone. Ordering was quick and they sent a text when it left. Been a regular for about six years now and this is one of my favourites from them.

Compared to the one I got from the big chain last year, this blanket feels softer and doesn't shed all over the sofa. It was a bit more money but it's already survived two washes. Happy with it.

Honestly this is exactly what I was after, a lightweight throw for the bedroom that doesn't feel cheap. I'd looked at a few places before settling on this one and it was the best of them. Everything about it works.

Got a desk lamp for the spare room and it's bright enough without being harsh. Ordered on a weekday and it came in a couple of days. Price was fair for the wattage and the cable is a decent length. Good purchase for the money.

The lining on the tote bag is the detail I kept noticing, it's sturdy and doesn't crease when I load it with shopping. I've bought bags from here for about six years now and the stitching has never let go. The handles are a good length for my shoulder. Nothing to complain about.

Needed a birthday present for my sister on a budget. Checked a few sites and this had a decent range at a sensible price. Arrived a day later than the estimate but the candle smells lovely and she liked it.

Picked up a set of three fabric storage boxes for the wardrobe. They're sturdy, fold flat when not in use and the handles feel strong enough. Cost less than the ones I'd seen elsewhere for a similar size. Good value for what you get.

We needed a proper outdoor rug for the patio that wouldn't fade in the sun. Looked at a couple of other places first and this was a bit dearer but the reviews on here sold me. Delivery took a few days longer than they said but the rug is good.

Compared to the same jumper in the high street shop, this was a bit cheaper and the knit is nicer. Ordering was dead easy. Only thing is the delivery took four days when it said three, but it got here.

Compared to the cardigan I got from the chain store, this one is thicker and the buttons feel proper. Took a bit of getting used to the fit but it's sorted now. Quick delivery too, got it in three days.

This is a well made tote, the stitching on the handles is spot on and the lining is sturdy. I know a bit about bags from years of buying them, and this would stand up well against much dearer makers. It holds a laptop and a packed lunch without sagging. Really solid.

I bought a linen apron and two tea towels as a first order to see how things went. The linen is lovely and heavy and the towels absorb properly, which I didn't expect at the price. Ordering was simple, the checkout remembered my address and the parcel arrived in good time. Sizing on the apron is generous so it fits anyone.

The weave on the rug is tighter than most I've come across at this price, and the backing doesn't slip on laminate. I've been fitting and buying flooring for years so I checked the edges straight away and they were clean. The pile is a short, dense sort that vacuums well. Delivery came on the day they quoted.

Fine for the price and the fabric is nice enough, but the sizing runs a bit odd so I've had to exchange twice now. The returns form is awkward to find on the site and I had to chase a refund. I'd probably still order again if something fits, just don't expect it to be easy.

Honestly I'd say it's good value for what you get, even if the list price looks higher than some shops. I bought a throw and a pair of curtains and they've held up to a year of use with a toddler in the house. The fabric pills a little but nothing like the cheaper ones I had before. Spending more once has saved me replacing things every few months, so for me it's money well spent.

Compared to the throw I used to buy from the big department store, this one is a lot heavier in a good way and the colour hasn't faded after a year of the wash. I've been ordering from here since they started and I've had no problems with any of it. The sizing on the bedding was right first time, which I can't say for the last supplier. Just the usual sort of purchase for me.

We needed new bedding for the guest room before my mother came to stay. Took a bit of comparing but the price was fair for the thread count. The duvet cover is fine but the pillowcases were not quite the shade I'd seen on screen. Delivery was prompt. Okay for the money.
