This shop is much like any other greenwoods store where ever you go. It has a wide range of mens…read moresuits, jackets, shirts, trousers, ties etc and a range of formal wear. There is also a selection of formal wear to hire at quite reasonable prices. The prices in the store are quite reasonable for the quality - they are more expensive than asda or tesco for instance but the quality is also better. Apart from the suits the majority of the clothing is aimed at the more mature man - more formal casual than trendy casual - but if you're looking for a bargain work suit and shoes this is a good place to go. The staff are always very friendly and they at least know what they are selling unlike the staff in supermarkets. They will also (tactfully) tell you if something doesn't suit you and try to get you into something that does suit you - again something you won't find in supermarkets who are only interested in the quick sale. Have a rummage around because there's usually something at a bargain price.

This is a lovely little old-fashioned shop selling beautiful things. I never used to venture in,…read morethinking it would be stuffy, old-fashioned and unfriendly, but in fact the staff are lovely and there's a great range of Tula, Radley and Hidesign bags and briefcases. In the summer they were also stampeded for their range of Crocs and Jibbitz! I think Luck's is one of the shops that make Louth the town it is - a shop that knows its stuff and sells high quality items at surprisingly good prices.

This shop is a gem!

The lady who works in there is very helpful and is great fun, really helpful to customers. Prices are good and you can be guaranteed of finding something different. Shops at the Feathers end of Mercer Row have a hard time surviving in Louth but I hope Feathers does, as it's a definite asset to the town.

I think this little shop is so useful!

From a buyer's point of view there are rich pickings of designer and top-end high street fashion, bags and shoes for women and children, at excellently competitive prices. It's always packed full of stock and well worth a rummage! The lady who runs the shop is really friendly and helpful and will offer fashion advice if asked, and there's also a box of toys to keep children entertained. Well worth a visit especially if you have children as you'll be able to pick up some beautiful bargains for them at a fraction of the new price.

I know the lady who own this shop and she has been running it for many years now. It's basically a…read moresecond hand shop, but it only sells really good quality clothes. It's quite a small shop, but it does stock quite a bit and it also has a changing room. As a customer the prices are pretty good (as they're second hand clothes) and you can pick up some good bargins. If you're looking to make money, you can take your clothes here (and providing they are good quality) you will get part of the money that the clothes are sold for. However unless things have changed in the last few years, you don't get the money until its sold and she doesn't accept things which she doesn't feel will sell.

The oldest department store in the world? Maybe. But it's not all frumpy rumpy old fuddy…read more I was in town when all the sales were happening. Thus, everything had a good price. At the entrance of this store, there is a beautiful display of bathing things: scented, glittery, soapy things. Beautiful. Further back there are hats and belts. Then a small section of crystal stuff. And other department store areas. Even for the experienced shopper, I was having a tough time telling the department stores apart. I was trying to organize by hierarchy and some left me a bit confused. This was not as trendy as New Look nor as cheap in quality. But it's not M&S. Everything is expensive in the UK. Even going to the toilet comes with a fee.

Ah, Eve and Ranshaw - Louth's traditional old-fashioned department store. I know a lot of people…read morewho rave about this place, but I'm not one of them - it's a decent enough shop, but I think it's too crowded, and tries to sell too many different things in too small a space. They only have small ranges of all the items they offer, which means choice is limited, and a lot of the designers they stock are old-fashioned and unfashionable. On the ground floor you find handbags, men's clothing, women's clothing, kitchenware, china, glass and bedding as well as a fabric/haberdashery department. Typical brands on offer include Portmeirion china and Fiorelli handbags. Upstairs is the lingerie shop, which admittedly has a fantastic range, particularly of shapewear. Eve and Ranshaw is crowded and it's hard to negotiate if you have a buggy or a child with you, but since the staff aren't child-friendly anyway, this isn't really a problem as its just somewhere to avoid if you are shopping with kids. It's a mainstay of the town, so I hope it keeps going, but I think it needs to move with the times - if only slightly - if it's to survive another 100+ years!
