Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review.
I'm genuinely thrilled that you're enjoying your chair.
Your kind words about both the chair and my customer service really mean a lot. Running a small business can be a bit of a rollercoaster at times, so messages like this make all the hard work worthwhile.
Thank you again for your support – I hope your chair joins you on lots of adventures.

Hi Suzanne,
Oh no, I'm sorry to hear your table arrived with some damage.
Please do get in touch and let us know a little more about the issue, as we haven't received any emails or photographs from you regarding this. We'd love the opportunity to understand what has happened and see how we can help.
I can see you ordered one of our Ultralight Tables on sale, which are designed to prioritise portability and low weight. As such, they are constructed differently to our Signature Teak-Effect Folding Tables, which are our more robust and premium option.
Please drop us a message with some details and photos if possible, and we'll be happy to look into this for you.
Best wishes,
Octavia

I met octavia at badminton horse trials. Her stand was so eye catching and she was so lovely and even had her dog with her. I took a leaflet away and recently bought 4 chairs and a table which were on special offer. I’m so happy with the service I received and the quality of the products I received. Great communication from Octavia and she’s such a genuine person. Thank you so much Octi we are now enjoying our set right up near John O Groats xxxxx

Oh my goodness, what a lovely review – thank you so much!
It was such a pleasure meeting you at Badminton, and I have to admit my four-legged assistants always are delighted when they get a mention too! 🐶 (Still trying to teach them to use the cc machine).
I’m absolutely thrilled that you took a leaflet home, found your way back to us, and are now enjoying your furniture set all the way up near John O' Groats.
Thank you for your kind words about the service and communication. reviews like yours genuinely mean the world.
I hope your chairs and table are the setting for many happy cups of tea, wine-o'clocks, sunsets and gatherings for years to come.
Thank you again for your support. I can't tell you how much this means. x

What a wonderful little brand

What a wonderful little brand! Having recently met the owner at a local show, I am a big fan of the whole aesthetic. We purchased a gorgeous ‘everything bag’ which I’ve taken on its first proper outing today and received so many compliments! I’ve also got my eye on one of the fold away chairs. Love everything about this brand!

I don’t usually leave reviews

I don’t usually leave reviews — something has to be either terrible or truly exceptional, and thankfully this is very much the latter.

I recently purchased a table and chair set at a local show, and I am absolutely thrilled with both the product and the quality. It’s clear that a huge amount of thought has gone into the design; the care and attention to detail set these pieces apart from the usual table-and-chair offerings. The chairs are comfortable yet lightweight, and the table folds neatly into an easy‑carry bag. The feel‑good factor is a definite 10 out of 10.

A special mention must also go to the owner, who was both charming and a pleasure to deal with. Her passion for the brand shines through and any continued success is thoroughly deserved.

Thank you also for your generous comments about the brand and my passion for it. Building this business has been quite the adventure and support like yours makes it all worthwhile.
I hope the table and chairs continue to bring plenty of good times, good company and perhaps the occasional interesting conversation.
Thank you x

Not the best value, but still decent quality

Whilst the products ordered (Safari Picnic Set for 2) arrived as described, and work perfectly adequately, for the price I was slightly disappointed with the quality. The arms of the chairs are made of a different material to the rest of the item which looks odd in-person, and I am not sure I would trust 100kg on the table - but haven't tested it!

Dear Jason,
Thank you for your review and for taking the time to share your feedback. We are pleased to hear that your Safari Picnic Set arrived as described and is working well for you.
In reference to the chair arms, the contrasting beech wood handles are an intentional part of the design aesthetic and are one of the signature features of the collection. They are designed to combine practicality with a more traditional safari-inspired look, though we completely appreciate that personal style preferences can vary.
Regarding the table strength, all of our sets are designed for practical outdoor use whilst remaining lightweight and portable, which is one of the reasons many customers choose them for picnics, beach days and events.
We do genuinely appreciate all feedback, as it helps us continue refining and developing our collections. Thank you again for your support.
Best wishes,
The Well Heeled Hippy Store

The best country coat ever

i bought an olive green fleece-lined coat at a Christmas fair in November. This was an impulse buy because it was a horrid, wet day and the Well Heeled Hippy stand was right at the entrance to the barn. I can honestly say it's the best country coat I've ever bought. I've worn it on a daily basis since November and only just washed it for the first time when the May Bank Holiday heatwave began.
Well done for creating such a fantastic product, which is totally wind proof, water proof and cosy with it's lovely fleece lining.

Thank you so much for such a lovely review.
We absolutely smiled reading this because your story is exactly why we created the coats in the first place — practical, beautiful and genuinely designed for real British weather! There is something rather magical about discovering a coat on a freezing wet country fair day and then finding yourself living in it for months afterwards.
We are so pleased to hear how well it has performed for you through the winter and spring. The fleece lining, windproof outer shell and waterproof finish were all designed to create that cosy “throw it on every single day” feeling, so hearing that it became your daily companion honestly means the world to us.
Thank you again for supporting our small business and for taking the time to leave such thoughtful feedback. We hope your coat continues to keep you cosy for many seasons to come.
Best wishes,

Catastrophic material failure & safety hazard — Seller refuses accountability

I purchased two full-size folding chairs from this shop on Etsy, choosing them because the listing advertised a robust "120 kg (264 lbs) weight-bearing load" and messages from the shop assured me the 600D Oxford cloth was highly durable and designed for longevity.

Unfortunately, the product experienced a sudden structural failure. After less than a year of light seasonal use, the seat fabric completely split down the middle while a 140 lb (63 kg) adult was sitting on it. The failure was sudden and clean right through the center of the canvas, while the stitching and frame remained fully intact, indicating a material defect. We have followed all care instructions – storing them indoors overnight and keeping them dry – making the breakdown highly unexpected. Because of the safety risk, the second chair is unusable.

Additionally, the listing did not disclose that the wooden arms arrive wrapped in shipping plastic over raw, unsealed lumber.

The customer service experience was particularly disappointing. When first contacted with high-resolution photos of the split canvas, the shop claimed the images were "too blurry to assess" and requested extensive multi-angle video footage of completely unaffected components. However, the moment I set a boundary and declined to send additional video footage, the shop's stance completely shifted: they were suddenly able to review the exact same photos in microscopic detail to claim the chair showed "wear and dirt" and deny a refund.

Given the high cost of international shipping from the US back to the UK, an exchange or return is not viable. I am sharing this factual timeline so other international buyers can make an informed decision regarding the structural longevity and support experience of these products.

UPDATE (June 2026):
Following this review, the shop owner sent me a private message on Etsy demanding my personal address details and explicitly stating that if I do not comply within 7 days, they will "be seeking legal advice" regarding this Trustpilot review.

What the merchant publicly claims below about "mould and intense weathering" is a complete fabrication to avoid accountability. Because Trustpilot does not allow photo uploads, I have uploaded the clear, high-resolution evidence of the clean fabric split and pristine condition of the frame here (the exact images I first shared with the shop owner): imgur [dot] com/a/u5CDLti (Please remove spaces and copy/paste to view)

What the merchant publicly frames as a helpful "offer to arrange collection" is, in reality, a private ultimatum involving legal intimidation to force the removal of honest consumer feedback. I have forwarded the screenshots of these legal threats and buyer harassment directly to Etsy Support for an active internal investigation.

Dear Alanna,
We are disappointed to read this review as it omits several important facts.
The photographs you supplied showed a chair that was purchased almost 2 years ago and appeared to display significant signs of wear, including substantial colour fading, dirt and staining to the stitching and fabric, extreme damage around some attachment points and seam areas, which were missing, and what appeared to be mould and intense weathering.
In order to properly investigate your claims, we requested additional photographs and information. These requests were refused outright. We then offered to arrange collection of the chair at our own expense so that it could be independently inspected and assessed. This offer continues to be ignored and our subsequent attempts to arrange collection have gone unanswered.
Given the seriousness of the allegations being made, it is difficult to understand why further evidence and physical inspection were refused point blank.
We take product quality and customer safety extremely seriously and remain confident in our products.

Kind regards,
The Well Heeled Hippy Store

We met Octi on a dog walk

We met Octi on a dog walk, and she had with her the perfect bag. She explained it was her brand which didn't surprise us, as it seemed as nice as she was and so we purchased one. It was delivered very promptly and the quality is beautiful. Look out for two Beagles and a happy dog walker and ask where she got her bag from :)
