Great

When we went, it was very nice. I wasn’t there for the most part but when I went to find my mum the interior was very nice. The service was amazing and the staff were understanding and patient; my mums first language isn’t English and the staff was very understanding and patient towards her. The first staff she spoke to was Sot and he explained us the way of payment very clear. He does his job very well.

Hermes Bag & Moncler Coat 🥰🥰

Visited the Birmingham store again today and we were greeted like old friends! Such a warm welcome from Andrew who remembered both my husband and my eldest daughter from their very first visit to the store a few months ago. Andrew was amazing and spent so much time with us as Evie was in her element with so many beautiful items. The knowledge Andrew has on the products Evie bought was second to none! Looking forward to our next visit asap. Thank you Andrew so much xx
