Company details
Written by the company
Consortium was established in 1993 on the UK's south coast in Bournemouth. Defying industry norms from the jump we opened as an independently owned skate, sneaker and streetwear store offering an unconventional brand mix that took cues from the things we loved rather than the trends we saw. This deep-rooted personal approach to retail created a space that truly lived - as we grew, it grew too. Over 30 years of organic evolution and unparalleled cross-category disruption has positioned us as industry mainstays, we champion brands and product that reflects the subversive, free-thinking spirit Consortium was built upon from the beginning. Our heritage and contemporary categories coexist seamlessly creating a diverse and peaceful ecosystem that spans womenswear; independent publishing; skateboarding; technical apparel; limited sneaker releases and coastal outdoors lifestyle among many other inhabitants. In a world full of uninspired high streets, corporate ownership and “copy-and-paste” identities Consortium holds true, forever fighting the good fight, forever independent… Consortium is a trading name of 7 Ply Ltd, UK company registration number 06595005.

Brought Adidas men’s forum low trainers. Arrived in good time, price was good, genuine and as described.
Fast service
Fast service, super efficient. Never used or heard of consortium before but will be back again.
Smooth shopping experience
Smooth shopping experience. No issues and they dispatched quickly, packaging was great and using Royal Mail instead of horrible companies we all know about.
No acknowledgement or refund for return
We have returned an expensive coat over 3 weeks ago (tracked at at our own cost of £14). The item arrived with consortium 2 weeks ago and there has been no acknowledgement of the return and no processing of the refund.
Speedy delivery
Speedy delivery. Goods as described.
Good price for birkenstock clogs.
Great seller
2.5 week delay on return refund
2.5 week delay on return refund.
Bought some Redwings, they were half a size too big which I didn’t realise was a thing with Redwings, but there you go. Said they couldn’t do exchanges so I needed to send the boots back for a refund to repurchase.
I had to purchase my own return and organised an RM collection from my house cost around £10.
I haven’t received an email from them without prompt from myself since I posted on the 16th Feb (5th March Today) all tracked and delivered on the 17th/18th.
I appreciate you’re an independent store, and things might be busy, but ultimately nearly 3 weeks for a return just isn’t competitive, especially with a lack of updates along the way.

Lovely trainers
Lovely trainers, and such good value! Super fast delivery...ordered in the afternoon and had them at my door mid morning the next day. Will certainly recommend.

I ordered a pair of XT6 on 27 January 2026 and received them with an obvious orange stain on the ankle. I reported the fault immediately and returned them on 6 February. Tracking confirms they were delivered back on 9 February.
Despite the item being faulty on arrival and returned promptly, I was told the return did not meet their conditions and that the item did not match their dispatch records??! which is completely incorrect. The shoes I returned were exactly the same pair that was sent to me.
I also had to chase for an update after receiving no communication, even though they had the return in their possession. This should have been a straightforward faulty return and refund, but instead it has been unnecessarily drawn out….. still waiting for a response and refund!!
Very disappointing service and poor handling of what should have been a simple resolution. I would absolutely not recommend based on this experience.

Danner boots
I was finding it a bit difficult to order my danner boots and offered to pay over the phone but was informed that you do not use that system ( a pity for old geezers like me ) however once I got it sussed the service was terrific my boots were posted and arrived within a couple of days cannot fault the service and helpful info .
