Lost a customer

Let me start by saying I loved Isolated Heroes. Their clothes are beautiful and I love what they stand for such as sustainability. I had bought from them before however, I ordered two items from IH and it took 54 days for the order to be complete and delivered. Their website claims it should be around 21 days.
Throughout this time I was chasing them and messages and emails went unanswered. At one point when I was able to talk to someone, I explained the outfit was for an event and was concerned it wouldn’t be there on time despite it being over 21 days since my initial order and I was guaranteed it would be with me for it. It was not. Not even close. I was also lied to numerous times about items being sent out.
During this time they were constantly posting on social media about collections for other things such as Taylor Swift and Dundee Pride which is wonderful for the business but it seems their everyday orders took a backseat because of it which doesn’t seem right.
Samantha, the owner, replied to a message through Instagram explaining the business had downsized which is absolutely fair but there was no communication about anything and I had clearly been lied to already and it felt disingenuous when they’re posting about working on other things. If your business is overwhelmed, pause taking orders?
She did offer to cancel my order but I declined as I was so far into it that I wanted the item.
My items arrived and they’re beautiful and well made but unfortunately I’m sad to say, I won’t be buying from them again.

Hi Nikki, I am so sorry to read this and completely understand your frustration. I would like to start with thanking you so much for taking the time to write such a detailed review. ‘

The exact reasons you have mentioned here are why we have made significant changes to our business over the last month. We are now working to an in stock only model with monthly new drops. This means when an order is placed it is then packed and shipped. We are still hand making pieces but working 3 months in advance with our drops. I hope this change means that customers won’t have a frustrating experience like you have had in the future.

I completely understand your frustration at seeing new projects happening while you are waiting for your order. As a small business when we do get life changing opportunities like designing for Taylor Swift's Tour or a large corporate collaboration we do normally jump at the chance as by reinvesting the funds from these projects allows us to put it back into the business and improve our systems like we have done by pre manufacturing and working to the monthly drops.
I can understand how this is frustrating to a customer and I hope with our new way of working means customer orders should no longer be affected by impromptu design projects that come into us.

I have emailed you a gift card as a token of our gratitude and I hope to see your name pop up again in the future on our online store.

Best Wishes
Samantha

10/10 !!!!

i’ve bought from isolated heros many times and most recently bought one of there boxy crop t-shirts and a couple of there jumbo scrunches. honestly the quality of the product i received was absolutely amazing. the communication that i received from the brand about my order was also flawless, isolates do take around a week or two to send your product but i completely understand why. i wouldn’t recommend a brand more. will definitely be buying from here again

Hi Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review it really means the world to us :)

So much promised, so little delivered.

I am not normally one to write a review, but feel this needs saying. The theme of my hen party is Sparkly AF and when I discovered Isolated Heroes and their products which are not only sparkly AF but also sustainable slow fashion, I was DELIGHTED. Customer service was great as I wasn’t sure what size to buy and they were able to talk me through things to make sure I got my order right.

I placed my order for a gorgeous gold dress eight weeks ago (15 May) and have received nothing. Lead time on the website is 21 days. I reached out after five weeks and was told it would ship two days later. It shipped 10 days later. Since then, whenever I try to track the item, the Royal Mail site still states that they are expecting the order. Despite the dispatch notification it clearly still has not been shipped.

I have reached out three times in the last week to Isolated Heroes, by email and via online chat and have received no response.

My hen party is at the end of next week and I am now having to rush around at the last minute to find something to wear. To say I am disappointed would be an understatement and to say that this has really cast a shadow over what ought to have been a really fabulous occasion would not be an exaggeration.

The sequin dress of my dreams...

I've spent 2 years covering their sequin dresses and finally found a good reason to buy one, and I don't regret it at all! Beautiful dress and a lovely company to support.

Ordered a size down and still come up very big

Ordered a 12 which is a size down for me and the dress was still very big. The styles are very boxy. No refund policy only exchange or credit note.

HI Pamela, I am so sorry to hear that you feel the dress is too large. I would be happy to exchange this for the size down if you want to drop me an email to info@isolated-heroes.com All of our T-shirt dresses have a relaxed fit and I would advise to go a size or two down if you would like a more fitted style. Best Wishes Samantha xx

Custom Eras Dress

Ordered a custom dress for the Eras Tour. The process was so easy! Sam booked me in for a design consultation straight away and from my vague ideas she had a rough sketch drawn out of my custom dress and we chose the fabrics/colours. I wanted something a little special for the Eras tour and the final outfit was everything I imagined, is such high quality and is one of the most comfy dresses I own. I got so many compliments on it the entire time I was wearing it. If you’re in doubt whether to order (especially a more expensive item such as a custom) - do it! You will not regret it. Big thanks to Sam and all the team at Isolated Heroes!

refunded after 8 weeks

I had to request a refund after 7 weeks, numerous efforts made and I was told it’ll be sent soon including an occasion they said they would send it out that day. Was also told a big wholesale order came in that needed to be done first . Kinda felt like the emails were patronising as well. Dunno what I did other first born

Custom Eras Your Dress

I can’t thank Sam & the team at Isolated Heroes enough for the beautiful custom Eras dress that they made for me. From the first Consultation to conclusion, the service was first class. Sam really helped me bring my vision to life (and more). The dress itself was finished to the highest standard and the details were simply stunning. I have already recommended Isolated Heroes to friends & will definitely be purchasing more items in the future. Thank you again!

Perfect dress for eras tour 💖

Inquired about a custom dress for the eras tour and heard back straight away from Sam at isolated hero’s. She said they could make exactly what I wanted and in time for my eras date. I received the dress in time and wore it for my show. It’s perfect and exactly what I wanted! Thank you so much! I can’t wait to wear it again to my next eras show in August

Hi Jasmine, Thank you so much for providing such lovely feedback. It was a joy to make a dress from our Archive for your Eras outfit. Thanks again Samantha xx

Absolutely incredible

Absolutely incredible.

I had been eyeing up the Moonlight mini for an upcoming Taylor Swift gig. I noticed they were doing a 10% sale, so I put it in my basket, just to see how much it would be. But I didn’t complete the sale.

I then got an amazing email from the founder Sam, who even offered to bring the dress local to me to save postage. I was sold!

The level of customer service blew me away! Sam and her team really care about the members of the Sequin Squad. They even helped me source a pair of white cowboy boots that they were clearing out.

Eras Tour outfit complete!

Boxy crop for Eras tour 👌

Love my mermaid sequin boxy crop, felt amazing being part of the sequin squad at the Eras Tour!

I’ve worn it before with a high waisted skirt but this time wore it with jeans and a black vest underneath for warmth! It’s such a versatile, comfy top but feels really special too, I love the neck line.

Isolated heroes are a great company to buy from, great customer care and communication. Thanks! 🤩💖🪩
