i love fresh garbage a lot but the queue to get in is long and you have to wait 20-30 mins it's…read morebefore even getting into the shop itself, whenever you get in you can't even move because there is so little space, if you spend a lot of time in the shop you feel guilty of holding up the line outside. it's also really hard to let people past you because of the small space, you have to stand in a spot for a long time in order to let people pay and your just wasting time there. not to mention the overpriced clothing!! most are cringey as-well, most of the skirts there are around £60 and yes, are nice but wayy too pricey. good shop for alternative people but also not because there isn't a large variety. you cant even try clothes on aswell which is stupid staff are nice and will help :) i think that fresh garbage could do with an upgrade in a shop as in space because it's super hard to move around, and you cannot even look at clothes because you feel like you holding up a line or room for people to get past. bigger shop is definitely needed!! overall it's a good shop but very small. i'd say come during week days when you have the chance because it isn't as crowded.

Oh, by the way, I mean high end designer handbags with lots of zeros on the price tags. And joy of joys, we now have a shop in little old Belfast which sells, wait for it, Louboutins. Actual Louboutins. Who would have believed it 5 years ago when the cost of a pair of those bad boys would include your air fare to London. And the bags - luxury all the way. Chloe, Mulberry, Celine, Gucci, they're all there. All my little babies waiting for me to take them home. I have been slowly building a collection of 'good' bags and Harper is the only place to go on birthdays and Christmas when I'm lucky enough to be adding to it. Thanks husband. Harper is one of those plush luxe shops that even smells good and your purchases come in fab while bags all tied up with black ribbons. They also sell smaller items like flip flops, beach mules, swimwear and Pjs, but still serous prices as these are top end labels. Ladies, go in and dream. Man, listen to the hints and buy the next birthday present from Harper. That's an order.

For whatever reason they currently reside at The Merchant Hotel in a small boutique. The design and decor of the boutique are stunning and this really helps highlight the products. I'll admit, yes, the prices can be quite an eye opener but they are fair prices that they would charge you everywhere else for Christian Louboutin etc The customer service at Harper is second to none. I went through many sizes and left a pile of patent high heels in my wake, helping at the end to clear my bit although I was told they would take care of it, which I found very nice of the person helping me. There was no snobby attitude towards me, which I was grateful of as I'm not exactly Upper Class myself, maybe if I had gotten a female employee rather than a male employee this might have been different, I don't know, I don't wan't to be too stereotypical. Harper is now my favourite stop for high quality designer items. You're customer service is wonderful, I'll be back for your sale ;)

So if I own a pair of shoes and the sole has wore out on them, I'm gonna throw them out, not take them here and have them repaired. But there has been more than one occasion where I manage to completely lose my house keys and need to get a new set cut. The people who work here are always pleasant and very helpful. More importantly, their always cheap. Getting keys cut in Belfast has became an expensive business but here its still very reasonable, a few quid per key. So to save my thrifty bake some pennies, I go here instead of staying local where if I get my key's cut, I'll be able to get into my house, but not stock its fridge or pay the bills. Now that is a magical over exaggeration, but you know what I mean.

It has all the usual equestrian gear for humans and horses - there is also a partially enclosed section at the back full of tubs of things to feed horses which I didn't explore given that I don't actually own horse so that might have been a bit weird. The guy who works here is very skilled - my husband went here on his own to buy me a hat and gloves, telling the man that I had a 'head like a pea and hands like a man' to guide him for size. Based on this description, he selected exactly the right hat size and only one size too big for the gloves. This was rather alarming for me, but quite impressive for him. Friendly place, with a good range of equipment for its size.

I am a complete novice when it comes to suits and so to be so helpful and knowledgable made the process very simple. One of the nice touches about Bogart is that if I were to put some wait on over the Xmas period an alteration would be free. In my search or a suit I tried House of Fraser. It would have been a more costly option and I was not convinced by their knowledge of what was best. Alterations would have come at more if they were needed and was not an addition to the service there. Bogart know suits and I won't be going anywhere else for mine from now on.

They stock Italian and Spanish designer shoes that are smart but comfortable classics, beautifully made from leather and suede that will lift your stature with out being excruciatingly high or ultra trendy. The target here is really for the well heeled older woman, but on the other hand I have noticed there are good sales on here so the prices are by no means out of sight. So I should confess my eye is on some rather nice wedge heel black suede numbers. There is also a selection of classic handbags to marry with the shoes. It's very old school in here, with a charming, gentlemanly proprietor in charge. As a small shop, the service is attentive so is best for those who are genuinely interested in the stock rather than casual browsers.
