I really like this store and have popped in a few times. It is the perfect places to pick up…read moreaccessories for fancy dress costumes, or merely for accessories alone. I have purchased a few scarves and bags for various fancy dress outfits that I have worn to parties. The staff are quite friendly inside and have been helpful when I have been looking for something in particular. The store is in a bit of a jumble and I have found it hard to locate items on some occasions, however I always eventually find what I need. They also keep quite a lot of stock in boxes outside the front of the store, so I have often spent time rooting around trying to find stuff. I do not like this aspect of the store; I would prefer it all to be easy to find and well organised. It is a great store, but it is a bit disorganised.

Shops like this make your local high street the place to check out on a saturday morning. The floor…read moreto ceiling jam packed-ness of fun always amazes me. If you are in need of some cheap tat as a present, for a project or require something for a fancy dress outfit then you will no doubt find it here. Who needs expensive fancy dress shops or paying for shipping off a website when you can buy inflatable props from here? Love it, a great little shop full of things to mooch in and to spend money on stuff you either didn't know you needed or had forgotten you needed as you never spot it in the supermarket.

Impressive caravan, campervan and camping store…read more In the area for a wedding, we were going camping afterwards and we still needed a groundsheet. I googled it and found Jacksons Of Old Arley. My partner was getting a bit worried as we weaved our way through some West Midlands countryside. "Are you sure its this way?" he asks. "Um, yes" I answer sheepishly. We turn a corner and there it is. "Phew" I think to myself. The place is massive. Outside there is a caravan and campervan dealership, I assume is the same people run this business too. Inside the Jacksons warehouse it seems to house everything you could possibly need for the caravan, campervan or camping holiday. Ground sheet sourced, I then find the clothing section and find myself some good bargains. There was sale discounts on lots of great items. They kindly let me use their facilities too, which was welcome :-o Recommended.

A family run business which opened in 2007, this is a posh hat shop based on Islington Row…read more I used to live in the flats above this shop and was always a bit curious about it but never dared to go in - some people can wear hats and sadly I'm not one of them. However I was recently invited to a wedding and now that fascinators are 'de rigour' thought this was perhaps my chance to have a mooch. The fact they had a 20% off sign in the window was all the extra encouragement I needed. I have to say they have some really lovely stuff - I was particularly taken with a black and white polka dot number but sadly - even with the discount this was way out of my price range. Staff seemed nice and the stock seemed well made. Intrigued I also had a quick look on their website when I got home - more lovely things awaited including some rather fab gents hats (trilby's mostly) and a 'made to order' range.

Love accessories? If you answer was yes then you will enjoy yourself here. It's obvious that the…read moreshop is aimed at young girls and ladies from their products to brand image. I'm not a girly girl but have to admit they do have some lovely items here and it seems as if they have a bit of something for everyone (females that is.) I saw some beautiful casual earrings and some nice accessories to wear on a night out. It was good to find an independent accessory shop where the range stretches from wedding style hats to toe rings. Some of the prices were a bit too expensive but others were great value for money. The bigger the accessory the more you pay, which seemed fair. I was pleased with the service as the Sales Assistant seemed to have a genuine interest in me and why I was shopping there. We had a good laugh, which broke the ice and I found out they'd been in business for several years; so they must be doing the right thing!

I find this shop to be incredibly tacky and cheap, and the products just fall apart. The store is…read moreincredibly cramped and they appear to have tried to get as many products as possible squished in. The last time I came in here many of the jewellery was on the floor (would you really want to put earrings in that had been trampled on? Surely far from hygienic). On the topic of earrings, I can never understand why so many people decide to have their ears pierced here, it's incredibly busy, and on top of that a staff member does it in the shop window (each to their own I suppose). If you're under 14 you may like this place (pocket money would cover the price of most products), if not head to Accessorize (trust me you'll thank me for it.

By chance I happened to go into Robin Elt Shoes in Worcester to look for some walking boots…read more I had tried Millets and to be honest was a little bit disappointed. So we went into Robin Elt shoes as my Fiancé said that Ecco boots were good and they had a sign for them here. Were were so glad we went in, the shop isn't big but has quality foot ware. On entering a shop assistant in a suit ( yes a suit ) came across and basically helped us try on some walking boots. He was straight out of the good old days. Incredibly well mannered, knowledgeable and really nice to us. Needless to say as the boots were great we immediately brought them. Its been a long time since I have had such a nice experience in a shop and will probably go back there next time, even though its in a another country! If only all customer service was like this.

While visiting Worcester on business I took a look in Robin Elt Shoes with no intention whatsoever…read moreof doing anything other than looking around the shop. It is a traditional shoe shop of the kind that sadly, has largely disappeared from the High Street. It had a broad range of quality shoes, including classic brogues and welted leather sole construction(highest quality) footwear. Noticeable were the helpful friendly staff. The quality of the products on display in Robin Elt were in such great contrast to the shoddily-made plastic items I see in many other' shoe shops' that 'I purchased a pair of 'Barkers' Northamptonshire-made gent's shoes. and at a fraction of the price that I would have had to pay at most other 'quality' outlets that sell Barkers/Loakes/ TecNic'/ Grenson footwear. They even had shoes in 'half' sizes - a rare thing today. In terms of the 'ease of purchase' (friendly knowledgeable shop staff who were not 'pushy' or overbearing) , the 'ambience' (the shop is traditional, no gimmicks), and excellence of the product sold: I give 'Robin Elt a 'five star' rating. They are as 'good as it gets' Thank you to the staff at the Worcester shop.
