Which clothing stores do you mourn?

[Connieston]

Prompted or inspired by another thread, I miss early 2000 Monsoon for beautiful dresses, 1990s Next for work (mainly), and going back in time C&A and littlewoods for uniform and school coats (my mum bought those though :) ) and the Marshall Ward catalogue my mum used to get for summer holiday stuff.

Coppernob!

Pilot. Regularly still wearing a black mini skirt bought 20 years ago. Dyed several times but it's going strong.

I didn't know half these places were gone! Morgan and Kookai were the cool places to shop when I was a teen. Needless to say I didn't own anything from there!

Bay Trading and Kookai, great for kooky, indie girls like me back in the day.
I liked Pilot and Mark One too (but not the communal changing rooms)
And Now Bangles for accessories, Claire's is 3 times the price and shite with it.

Dolcis and ravel. Do Nine West still exist, come to think of it?

White stuff as it was 10 years ago. Beautiful, quality knitwear and pretty tops before it went all per una.

Kew, principles too.

Red or Dead for shoes

Just had a look at the Kookai website, I think I'm too old to wear their clothes now, better throw out my top and dress! I didn't realise they went online after their high street shops closed.

Oh yes forgotten Woolworths baby/children’s wear was actually very good.
Bay Trading, I had some brilliant shift dresses from them lasted for years.

Jeffrey Rogers, Bay trading and from way back when had pocket money what everyone wants (was mega cheap!!)

Richard Shops, Wallis like it used to be, and Principles.

@BikeSkiRun, oh yes, Kew! I had loads of lovely things from there.

I think you can get Nine West in HoF & John Lewis I think, I have a lovely pair of leopard print heels from Nine West a couple of years ago.

Ahhh Woollies ladybird plimsolls!

I had some nice things from Coast and East too. Feeling a bit sad now!

I really miss old Jaeger! The stuff was fantastic & was where I got my “first ever” proper work suit. I thought i was the business. The quality has yet gone down hill now & they’ve closed all of their Scottish stores! 🤨

I second Red or Dead

I cam on to say Tammy Girl, and the figure I had back then.

I pulled out an old vest top from Bay Trading the other week, and it honestly looked as good as many I bought last summer. Most of their clothes were shit, but the vest tops were fabulous.

Clockhouse was cool. And weirdly yes I remember the skiwear from C&A because me and my siblings ended up with bright yellow ski jackets as winter coats one year which probably looked a bit weird but they were v cosy. The closest we got to the piste was the Tonibell van.

Tammy girl was wonderful.

I've still got Primark bits from 15 years back. I don't tend to shop there now but those old tops do last.

Republic!

Richards seemed v grown up to me. I think it went poot before I was old enough to purchase.

Richard Shops (is full of pretty things). Had loads of lovely things from there.
Also a chain called Solo which was around for a while in the 80s.

Snob too.

Early 90s Next and M&S too,
