It sells a wide range of gifts and cards; pretty trinket boxes, jewellery, pashminas, scarves, unusual clothing and witty fridge magnets among other gifts. Many of the cards the shop sells are very pretty and rather unusual and you'd be hard pushed tofind them anywhere else. They're not overly expensive either. There's probably something to suit most people you know. Well worth a visit if you're looking for an unusual or unique present.

The clothes they sell are really nice and there's always something new that I want from here! They keep up with the latest fashions, but they do have more classic items aswell. the staff can be a bit funny with you and there are the odd few that have a bit of an attitude, but this is pretty much par for the course in topshop outlets.

I gave their clothes a shot, I bought their duffel coat and some other items, the coat's stitching around the pocket came undone hours after buying it. The stitching in general is poor. Another thing is the compaint letter from one of their customers published in this seasons catalogueturn over a few pages and you have a model with her nipples showing, essentially spitting in the face of their customers. If you complain to Jack Wills, instead of considering your issue, they'll publish it and have everyone laugh at it, ohand you still buy their poor quality clothessothe two directors are basically laughing at everyone who shops there. Trust me stick to real quality with real sophistication like Ralph Lauren, Hackett, Brioni (if you can afford it), Canali etc.
