If you are buying there is a wide range of electrical products, such as TV's, kitchen appliances,…read morestereo sets, cameras, game consoles. The list goes on! This shop gets very busy so if you are keen I recommend going early in the day, you can pick up some real bargains, especially around christmas time they do a lot of deals. They also exchange items with you for cash, but beware they do not offer what you think your item is worth, always with the excuse that they have plenty of what you are selling! I highly recommend this place for cameras and lenses.

This is the most helpful shop in Cardiff if you're after a new stereo, amp, or other audio and…read morevisual goods. They know their kit and their brands, and can offer really sound advice according to your budget. From basics such as speaker cabling through to full sound systems, TVs, DVD players and recorders, they offer good price deals and don't try to push the most expensive products down your throat. They stock a good range of well-known brands and don't talk down to you if you know little about electrical equipment. You might be able to match or even better their prices online, but you just won't be able to benefit from their expertise. If you see something you like, however, grab it there and then - as stock often flies out of the door not long after it arrives.

Once upon a time they were the be all and end all in tape recorders, then they moved on to CD players, and now it's all about Ipod docking stations. Basically, Richer Sounds always manages to have the most modern equipment on the general market, and they always keep with the times (unlike some of the other such stores in the area). Because this is quite a small little place on Cowbridge Road East (an area I remember from my childhood as having seen better times), there is a sense of community spirit; clearly they've managed to build up a nice little network of loyal clientele. But this shop is run by people who know their stuff and are clearly passionate about getting the right products on their shelves, and knowing what brands are best for them and their customers. A good place to consider in the epic hunt for your next electrical item.

The shop stocks electrical goods (as the same suggests) and they also do parts for electrical goods.

Slowly, yet surely, L'Occitane is taking over a little piece of the world…read more But this isn't a tragedy, like when McDonalds does it. No, we should be celebrating the increase in L'Occitane's popularity! There should be banners and lavender-smelling bubbles. L'Occitane offers some of the most luxurious and high-quality beauty products on the market. They sell a range from cleansers and moisturisers, to candles and incense - and have just released a small range of foundations. Their products use natural ingredients; cherry blossom, verbena and lavender to name a couple. In the last few years they've worked their way to national recognition, probably just on smell alone. The shop in Cardiff (finally, after putting up with a little stand in Howells for years) is beautiful. It, like their products, oozes quality and simplicity. A lovely place to peruse in, although dangerously tempting.

Fast becoming a familiarity in every cosmopolitan person's bathroom, L'Occitaine is a great company…read moreproviding lovely beauty products. Claiming to encapsulate the essence of the French countryside, the smells released by the wonderful selection of products characterise this small, stylish shop. With a great selection of shower gels, soaps, moisturisers and scented candles, this is a thoroughly appealing shop for all those who like to treat themselves. I have purchased a number of products from this store, in particular the male shower gels, which feel fresh and cleansing. The attractive bottles they come in potentially help raise the appeal, but the feeling of high quality during use is unmisssable. Typically, with high quality comes higher prices, and L'Occitaine is no exception. Having said that, the prices aren't extortionate, and given the wonderful nature of L'Occitaine goods, they are worth it.

It is a long thin layout that feels a little bit too cluttered and overwhelming. They do have some really lovely clothes here and my Petite friend totally relies in this shop for getting most of her wardrobe, but especially jeans. I personally find that sizes are a bit on the small size. I really think that if the layout was better then i'd want to spend more time looking at their clothes, as it is I usually look at thier section in Debenhams instead.

You can get coats for half the price like for £50 instead of £100. I think the shop is well laid out sometimes it is hard to tell which are male and which are female coats as they are quite near each other and similar. So make sure you check before you buy them. The shop mainly specialises in coats. This store is one of my husbands favourites he makes us go in there everytime we go to the outlet village.
