Choices
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 8/26/04
Choices specialises in designer goods such as shirts, jeans, caps, shoes, trainers, handbags, wallets, ties and the like. Designers they stock include Burberry, Versace, YvesSaintLaurent, Von Dutch, Hackett, Dior, Gucci and Armani. The staff are a little stressed out to be honest, there were friedlier staff in the newsagent I went into... considering you are handind over around �50 for a t-shirt - let's be honest, you would expect less bouncer-like assistants - as if you need 10 bouncers in one store?! Its a big store full up with frumpy sales assistants and till workers - you will be getting quality clothes here, yes...but service with a smile you cannot buy. It ruins the whole image of shopping when you are a person going into THEIR shop and they just frown at you. Although Choices is a quality store (because it stocks quality clothes), I must say that any competition to this new-age 'every designer under one roof' style store (which I DO like), would probably beat the serious exclusiveness that singles out just about everyone. And, no, FHM it isn't the best place to shop in England, what makes them so good anyway - why would we want to steal (or pay for, for that matter) a vulgur 'fashionable' shirt that has just come through the doors from Hackett...?
