Cheaper alternatives to Hobbs, Reiss, LK Bennett etc

[suebfg]

I like the style of clothes in the above shops but can't afford to replenish my severely depleted wardrobe at their prices.

Are there any comparable (cheaper) alternatives out there?

No idea but the Hobbs outlet bit often has some great bargains.

Those brands but on ebay? I get most of my clothes from there now, and if they don't fit or I don't like them when they arrive I resell or charity shop them, it's still far cheaper. I don't mind last year or last season for good stuff, as I wouldn't update with new stuff that often either these days.

Crocodilio, do you buy them new or secondhand?

ditto Hobbs outlet. And you hardly ever need to pay full price in Hobbs if you sign up to their marketing email as well. Almost always 20% off which helps a bit.

If you're anywhere near Oxford then get thee to Bicester Village which has outlets for all these shops and loads more high-end high street eg ted baker, french connection as well

OP - I have an awful LK Bennett habit - but I get 90% on ebay. I look for the second hand stuff tbh - pay attention to the description of condition though.

Usually a dress or jumper I like in the shop turns up on ebay after 6 months or so. Prices usually stay high - but that can mean you can wear a dress a couple of times then sell it on to recover your money. Sometimes I can get more for things than I paid - especially if I take better pics/description than the original one.

Sue - both, quite happy to have second hand but new stuff is often on there for massively less than it would have been in the shops.

Check out Cos also, good value for nice, plain but well thought out things and selling online now.
