I have never been to this branch of Whistles (I gather they are franchised) but if it is like the others then I'd be impressed. Whistles has the most gorgeous clothes, skirts, knitwear, with pretty heart shaped buttons and you can tell a Whistles piece when you see it. Admitedly, £80 is a high price for a cardigan/top (2 piece) but the colours are gorgeous, so are the prints and they last and go with so many items of clothing.
Recently they've changed, got a new designer and all the stuff although praised by fashion journalists, it is not the same, they're trying to be like Coast or Karen Millen.
I did hear someone write that the old Whistles was mostly for yummy mummies and I agree in a sense, but yummy mummies need pretty, affordable, colourful clothes which one can wear day in day out. Plus the more luxe pieces for special occasions.
I hope they bring back the old designer and soon! read more
