My partner is mad about Alice in Wonderland. While in Covent Garden, saw a sticky note pad but couldn't buy as was with me. Ordered on line, and received quickly and in excellent condition.

Fast delivery, however, only half of my order was delivered! After calling the store the other half of my order was despatched and received a couple of days later. Yes, it was rather annoying to have... See more

Fantastic customer service. Having had an issue with my order, they couldn’t do enough to sort it out for me. Great selection of products and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

I bought a lovely present from the shop. The service was very pleasant and I had good advice from the lovely people behind the till. If someone looking for not boring and standard gifts, you should go to Brand Academy, there you’ll find what you’re looking for.

Variety of unique gifts

I love the variety of unique gifts the shop has to offer. I have purchased numerous items from useful phone gadgets (like a phone stand when I am travelling on long train journeys) so that I can watch movies to planners to help me keep up with my schedules. The quality of products are high therefor I give the store a 5 star.

Good Quality Products

Product was as displayed; good quality, albeit a little expensive. Delivery took a little while, hence 4 stars.

Whilst the vase itself was beautiful

Whilst the vase itself was beautiful, with really swift delivery, I am appalled to note that since speaking to others who have purchased from the same site, the price of the item has increased from £28 to £55 within a matter of weeks, taking advantage of the situation and the popularity of the item. This is totally out of order and a disappointment in a time where we are all supposed to be pulling together and helping each other out.

Dear Louisa,

Thank you so much for your purchase, we're so happy you enjoyed your vase and had a pleasant shopping experience.

Sorry to hear you felt this way regarding the price increase. We'd be happy to explain why this was necessary: as a small independent store with one shop in London we've had to shut our doors during these very difficult times while the NHS's hard work goes on to save lives and eventually ease restrictions. While we entirely support this decision we have had to be very careful to ensure we are no longer absorbing any costs and consequentially had to pass these costs over through stock pricing.

When this product sold out we were quick to order lots more - due to the sheer volume there was a very high delivery cost which we had to cost into individual items. This included the price of delivery and costs of extra temporary staff to process the volume of orders. While we can completely relate to your frustrations and price-increases can be upsetting, we have since reduced our prices back and are very excited to reopen!

Our intentions were never to take advantage of our lovely customers, but rather ensure our small independent brick and mortar shop can remain sustainable and come out the other side during these very difficult times. Brand Academy’s ethos is to support independent designers and have given over 20% of our store and 100% profit of their stock sales to help them launch their brands in an otherwise difficult market and work very hard to support them into a highly competitive industry. We have spent the past number of years supporting others and would never take advantage of anyone, especially during these trying times.

We hope you can accept our sincerest apologies for any distress we may have caused, we would have been happy to explain if you had reached out to us with your complaint - we strive to reach the highest in customer service we possibly can. As a gesture of goodwill we would like to kindly offer you and the others you mentioned in your review a 10% discount to redeem at our online store, please reach out to hello@brandacademystore.com and we’ll personally send it over to you.

Again, our sincerest apologies and thank you for taking the time to leave a review. All reviews are very important to us as they help improve our service.

Thank you and stay safe,
Brand Academy Team
