Disappointed …
I ordered a dress which I was very pleased with when it finally arrived. So I ordered 2 more. It took a week to be told that they had completely sold out and would not be restocked. However both dresses are still on the website, this is very misleading.

Hi Francesca, Thanks for taking the time to leave a review and it's good to hear you were happy with your first purchase.
Apologies for your second buying experience. The delay with communications was due to issues with the manufacturer as each dress is made on demand. I can confirm these dresses have been removed from the site.
We've learned from this and have improved how we manage these scenarios in future.

OMG best ever experience
OMG best ever experience. I ordered 2 birthday cards for my daughters. Very good quality cards and even the envelopes were good quality. Cards came with some silver birthday stamps and some silver stars which I put in card. Delivery was excellent, it took 2 days to arrive. Came in ‘do not bend envelopes’ I can’t complain
Design of cards are gold standard
Well done 👏🏾
And thank you for this long awaited website
I am a firm customer now😊

I bought an Elite Shungite macrame necklace from Vibrations of a Goddess and Crystal melts deli pots from Aromablendsbyk which smell devine. The dispatch and delivery was really fast and I was so happy with both orders. I couldn't leave a review on the website for Aromablendsbyk for the melts, but have made a second purchase of the candles. Excellent platform and customer service.
