Blooming Marvellous goes into administration

[Maiakins]

According to the Guardian today: "Upmarket maternity fashion chain Blooming Marvellous has become the latest victim of the downturn on the high street. The 14-strong chain, based in west London, which also traded online, has collapsed into administration." more info here

A few people thought it might have because the sites been down a while.

And Justine has just said that they owe Mumsnet money apparently.

Oh no that was the only place i liked for mat clothes and now I'm up the spout again...

A real shame.

Oh dear, I loved their stuff when I was p/g and ds was tiny.

what a shame

they are owned by banks in trouble i believe? as opposed to just being rubbish themselves. i also enjoyed their stuff when pg.

I contacted BM before Xmas with a query on my order...I received this today...needless to say I wont be buying any more!

If you bought something on a credit card and it is faulty or ordered something that didn't arrive you should be able to claim on your credit card (although I think there is a minimum abount) - check out the moneysavingexpert website.

I bought mine from St Albans branch, they were very friendly in there but not a lot they could do to help me.

Right. So be v sure before I buy. Thanks Hobb!
