I visited on a Thursday (to check out my options for morning dress) for a Friday pickup and Sunday wedding. Normally a three day hire, they were flexible enough to let me walk out of there with it that same day. In addition, they were open for the bank holiday (to return the item), and despite a martini spill on the waistcoat, they gave me 100% deposit with no hassle. Most importantly, the fit was excellent. I was skeptical about the wide width of the pants (I'm used to a more modern cut of trousers), but they were correct, it did fit in with most attendees. The coat itself fit perfect, and did not appear tired or sloppy like other rentals. I also did a price compare, and Lipman was the least expensive option! But most importantly, I didn't look as though I'd rented anything!

The Hobbs store at Canary Wharf, next to Top Shop, and before the general melee of more chain store…read moreclothing retailers further down the Canada Place strip, is a relative haven of grown up peace and tranquility. Spacious, well lit, clean and tidy, with polite and friendly sales staff (apart from one recent addition, who really needs to learn that no thanks, I'm just looking means I've come in here to look in peace and quiet, don't keep pestering me), this is possibly one of my favourite shops in the complex. I'm a particular fan of the recent season jewel bright wool jackets (which for their quality are exceptionally good value), and the perennial Hobbs suede ballerina pumps, available in a wide range of colours. I can't help feeling that the Hobbs store would be better placed on the posh side (i.e. Jubilee Place), but their ability to stock a good capsule range of the current collection means that you might prefer to whizz out to Canary Wharf rather than into town. A more pleasant shopping experience.

The store was clean and the staff were helpful in allowing me to try on how the shirts fit. What made the dress shirts stand out were the customizations from regular, trim, to super trim fits. I love how the collar stays are metal, perfect for meeting with C-suites. The fabric of the dress shirts are very thick and all the shirts were 100% cotton. I loved how I was able to customize my shirts by adding a pocket and getting them all shipped back to me in the US for a slight shipping charge! The store had a few promos for 4-5 shirts purchased at a time. ...now only if they had stores on the West coast in the US! ...until then, their online website will be my new go to!

One item was unavailable but I received an email stating this days AFTER receiving an email that all my items had been dispatched. Curious, yes? A short interchange with the ERICA, who confirmed the notification was incorrect and they didn't have any substitutes. Okay, still fine, I accept this is how things are nowadays. HOWEVER, I still don't know if the remaining items in my order has shipped. It's been THREE WEEKS. I have sent 5 emails and contacted them on social media. The only response I get is automated. Due to the pandemic, you cannot call. You're simply stuck in limbo. And I'm out $300. I think it's fair to say I sort of hate this store.

Once I heard one High Street manager saying that after Zara arrived to London, all the other…read moreretailers have had to increase their standards as it lifted the competition into a completely new level. I agree. Zara has the same business idea as all the rest, to be a copy cat, but the way it does it, it is just above the others. Zara has broke the records with its stock turnover, I think it now produces new collections every 11weeks or so? Opinions on the ecological side aside, but visiting the store frequently and you will always find new range. The quality usually pleasantly surprised me, with materials like wool and silk on the selection, jackets are often well tailored and with a spotless finishing. The look for ladies is always very feminine and made for people tall and, well, skinny. The sizing is a bit random, seems tiny and varies between items. Seriously, with trousers I never know what size to try on. I think the best part of Zara is the woman's section with classic designs and the most beautiful dresses on the High Street.
