I'm so sad about the quality of louche dresses now, they feel like the cheapest, flimsiest things with cheap zips and buttons, loose threads etc. At full price of £60-80 the quality is scandalous, tha... See more

About Joy

Written by the company

SHOP WOMENSWEAR
SHOP NEW IN
SHOP HOMEWARE
SHOP GIFTS

Founded in London, Joy has always been about being unique and different. As well as selling principally women’s clothing we also stock a wide range of accessories, homeware and gifts as well; anything that fills the shopping list bringing Love, Life and Laughter to everyone in abundance!

16 years later we launched our own label Louche, which has always been designed by women for women, and fitted and refitted on different body types. We are proud of our fit which is a challenge, as there is no exact fit and measurements to any size in Europe and beyond. However, once you have established your size you will find you will be that size throughout our website, enabling you to shop with confidence. Special consideration is made to fabric selection we always go that extra mile to find the very best quality, feel and finish.

The emphasis on fit encompasses all our styles. Trousers are all made with an element of stretch, shirts often have hidden elastic waistbands and tops always have extra ease. Sweatshirts and jumpers are always cosy, colourful and comfortable. Whilst coats are always a bit of a statement, we tend to leave black coats to others!

We are particularly famous for our dresses which we have a large selection of mini, midi and maxi styles crafted in unique, quirky and ditsy prints, colourful checks and premium quality plains. Did we tell you that 90% of our dresses have pockets?

Our ethos regarding design and manufacture is to produce products that have lasting appeal and anything other than throw-away fashion! When we hear stories of mothers handing down styles to their daughters, it gives us great pleasure and is definitely a direction to true sustainability. We are working our way through the whole sustainable journey which isn’t without its caveats and hope in a year or so to be almost 70% sustainable.

Unfortunately I was very disappointed…

Unfortunately I was very disappointed with this order.I ordered over 9 shirts as they had a great promotion. I received 3 of the shirts in separate packages intermittently within a 4 week span and am still waiting for the remainder of the order. The items I did receive were very poor quality, two out of the three shirts had the seams tearing and it looked like a copy of what I ordered, meaning the online photos were much better. The sizing is much smaller than expected, if you order a medium it fits truer to a small or in some cases extra small. I will not be putting any future orders in.

Overall pleased

The skirts appeared well made and of good quality. It would be helpful if the website could state whether skirts are lined as not having that information would usually put me off buying it. Overall pleased with the purchase (although returning one skirt as it did not suit me).

Nice quality clothes but sizing inconsistent

Nice quality clothes, but size guides don't align with the clothes at all. Also one dress showed up and was beige when the photo online was black

No one does summer frocks like JOY

No one does summer frocks like JOY, and they really are 'frocks' in the best sense. Already I have quite a library of them, but luckily there is always room for one more. This gentle pink number was bought in anticipation of warmer times, loose and cool yet doesn't drown me, and a nice cover up for those of us who can't be in the sun too much. Perfect.
Speedily delivered.

Joy is my favourite store

Joy is my favourite store. I can't believe more people don't know about it! The online ordering process is seamless and straightforward, and on the rare occasions that I have needed a refund, this has been processed quickly. It may be a little on the pricey side but the quality is so good that I have had items for years now with absolutely no difference made to the quality of the material after washing and re-wearing many, many times. I would whole-heartedly recommend Joy to everyone!

Disappointing

Disappointed that the refunds take so long.

There’s no good reason to take longer than 14 days to process a refund once you receive goods back. 14 days is the maximum limit a refund should take and .gov website backs this up.

Really puts me off ordering from you again.

Great customer service

I have rarely had such good customer service! I wrote asking to transfer my in store gift card balance to an online balance as there was an item in the sale I wanted. After two emails within hours of my enquiry it had been sorted out, the transfer made and the item bought. My customer service representative, Jordan, was efficient, polite and helpful and I couldn’t have asked for better service. The item was then shipped out in fantastic time and is great, at a bargain price to boot. I could not be happier.
