Customer service is a joke
Not only have the prices gone up, which okay, we could live with, buying designer items and all, but the quality has gone done. So many loose threads on my Crush leopard dress. Moreover, their designs, though undeniably beautiful, are poorly executed, especially when it comes to corset dresses. Bust area stretches enormously, but the waist is fixed despite the stretchy panel that actually doesn't stretch at all. Also, a 2650 EUR top has POLYESTER slip. Seriously? At that price you cannot make a silk slip, especially where it touches your body? Polyester slips seem to rule, and not all of them are recycled.
Zimmermann also went down on sustainability rating at Good on you - from 3 to 2 (not good enough), which clearly indicates they want more money for worse quality, polyester and cutting down on their sustainability. No, thank you.
What lost me as an excited customer buying this and that and that too, however, was their unprofessional customer service. I was disappointed that after having spent thousands I wasn't even invited like every year to private sales. I voiced my disappointment and got a dismissive response saying more or less I wasn't a valued customer. Despite orders showing how much I've spent in just a short period since I discovered the brand. I asked to close my account, any normal company would apologize, send a small gift or whatever, but they just closed my account without even informing me! Brilliant. Took my money elsewhere.
They don't even care enough about reviews to claim their profile here - that should tell you everything.
I still buy one or two things if I find them spectacular, but they lost a customer willing to pay thousands each season. And seeing a decline in quality I doubt I will even buy occasionally now.
