Written by the company

Lulu Guinness was founded in 1989 by its then 29-year-old eponymous designer. Since its conception, the brand’s intention has always been to create playful and striking designs that empower the women who wear them. Lulu Guinness designs are regularly seen on the arms of trailblazing women, such as Kate Moss, Adwoa Aboah, Emma Watson, Poppy Delevingne, Paloma Faith, Helena Bonham Carter and Dita Von Teese. These are women who embrace their own strength and femininity, and are never afraid to push boundaries with their sense of style. Influenced by one-of-a-kind creatives, such as the Surrealist fashion designer Elsa Schiaparelli, the brand is known for its light-hearted, playful and timelessness spirit – which the Lulu Guinness women have.

Customer service support

Customer service support. Sophie was really helpful and helped resolve my issue in regards to the wrong item that was delivered as to what I had ordered. She explained everything very clearly and sent me all the relevant information needed in regards to what was required from me. The only negative thing was they each time you call and no one is available it goes to an automated voicemail service. It took me many hours until I managed actually to speak to an advisor and no response was made in regards to voicemail I had let. Other than that my issue was resolved quickly and efficiently.

Possible issue with a purchase…

I bought a bag and was worried about how the pleating on the leather was falling. Sophie from customer services came back to me immediately and, once I sent photos of the bag, she passed these on to the quality control department. As soon as she could, Sophie got back to me explaining that it was not a fault but just the nature of the leather and how to deal with it. I am now happy with the handbag and happy with the kind and thoughtful way that Sophie dealt with my issue. I would have been disappointed if the bag had been faulty and then sold out whilst my issue was being dealt with but understand that this is just the way it is in cases like this. The main thing is that the aftercare given by Lulu Guinness's customer service team was on point. Thank you.

Brilliant customer service

Sent an email regarding the possibility of supplying a strap extender for my new bag. Although it was something they didn't have, they supplied me with multiple alternatives and ideas how to resolve my issue. They were clearly knowledgeable in the world of leather bags and were really happy to take the time to help me out when they could have quite easily just said nope, sorry.
Such a refreshing change to be treated like a human being, by a human being!
If this great service is a reflection of the company, I'll be purchasing from Lulu Guinness again.

I purchased a tote on Friday and quickly discovered owing to a glitch I was charged twice . It was almost 5 pm but quickly called and e mailed Lulu Guinness to cancel one order . A lady called Sophie contacted me and advised the procedure to follow . Today Monday Sophie has contacted me to advise the order has been cancelled and a refund will be in my bank in a few days . 10/10 customer service .

Great Customer Service!

I had my eye on the Ella basket bag, but it was sold out for almost a year. I reached out to see when/if it would be on stock and the company was able to find one more! After some tech issues with the US site and some emailing, the customer service representatives were able to help me purchase it!

When it arrived, it was missing the earrings and they were not attached to the bag. I sent in pictures of the product and the company gave me a full refund.

Even though the bag wasn’t exactly as pictured, I am leaving a 5 star review for the wonderful customer service. Maybe I’m used to the poor customer service here in the US, but Lulu Guinness truly impressed me and made me feel valued through every step of the purchase. I will definitely order more bags from this company in the future!

Well firstly

Well firstly, I love my Polly bags. They’re really well made and come in various colours, so I can easily match them to shoes. I recently lost a dust bag which they re-placed with no hassle. Will certainly continue to buy
When needed

Great personal service

Great personal service. My parcel went missing but staff in customer services in both LG and the delivery company took a personal interest and the upshot is that I got my new lovely collectibles and am very happy.

Best Customer Service Advisor!!!

I spoke to a lovely customer service advisor called Daniella, and I cannot speak highly enough of her. I saw a bag for my partner that was discounted to £150 and when I went to process the payment, it tried to revert back to the original price. So I called the customer service helpline, where Daniella answered and was very polite and understanding. She asked just for an email with a screenshot showing the discounted price, which I sent her whilst on the phone. And within 10 minutes or so, she was able to get that price approved by her manager. I have just ordered the bag and I am a very happy customer. BIG BIG SHOUT OUT TO DANIELLA! You really don't get many staff members as friendly as her in this day and age.

Three of my Lulu bags now have faults

Three of my Lulu bags now have faults, one the leather has come off the handles, one the lips clip closure has come away and now another one the sticking has come away down the side of the bag. They are expensive bags and are looked after well so would not have epected this to happen. The company have simply given me the name of a company who I can contact to get the repairs done, and at my own expense. Please dont waste your money, by another brand. I am so disappointed at the attitude.

Quality & Service obviously no longer a priority at Lulu Guinness.

Having been a loyal customer to Lulu Guinness for nearly 20 years (buying bags, wallets, wash bags, umbrellas etc), my recent experience has prompted me to unsubscribe from the website.

I bought the Jules Crossbody bag, only to find that the zip wouldn’t close because of poor design. As I really liked the bag, I asked for an exchange in the hope that it was just my bag that was at fault. I asked for the second bag to be checked before it was sent out. The second bag arrived, only to have the same fault. Annoyingly and time consuming, I once again contacted customer service, who basically offered me a full refund. So, again, I wasted my time packaging up another badly made poor quality Lulu Guinness bag. Very disappointing to see what was once an iconic brand go so downhill. After 4 weeks of not receiving my refund, I again had to contact customer service. Very poor.

I’ve been a loyal customer for years I have purchased approx 10 bags.
One of my bags had a faulty part which resulted in the d ring coming off and being lost - I emailed customer services asking for a replacement part and offering to pay for said part.
They refuse to supply the part even though I can see the part being used in current stock.
Why can they not order a part in from their factory? Are they expecting me to pay over £300 for a new bag? When mine is repairable? They suggested I contact a London repair service. I do no live in London, very out of touch.
This company clearly has no sustainability credentials or customer service kpi’s.
Very disappointing. Lulu you have lost a loyal customer.
