EU Websites for nice clothes online

[caperplips]

I have been stung with the whole Brexit fallout of online shopping in Ireland using UK retailers and it really has made things prohibitive now. I will absorb the extra costs for the things I have ordered in the sales but going forwards I will look to EU websites.

I wondered if anyone had any good ones to share? I like clothes from Whistles / Jigsaw etc generally so anything else of that ilk?

It's all such a pity...

Thanks!

Hi all, not sure anyone will see this but wanted to share my latest import tax horror - I've just received notification that I'm being charged €76 for a cardigan to be delivered from Wyse London. I stupidly saw the delivery cost for overseas deliveries was €7 and made an assumption that all retailers had figured out a way not to sting their customers by now given that we're 10 months after Brexit. My own fault, but seriously disappointed.

€76 tax on a cardigan

Bloody hell.

I’ve bought quite a few things from Wyse over past few months and have never been charged extra duties /tax on delivery to Ireland. The website specifically says it delivers on a duty paid basis.

[MrsArcher23]

However I see that it’s no longer covering taxes and duties. One less website to bother with so…

Oh that's disappointing to hear @MrsArcher23 - I was giving them the benefit of the doubt that they didn't understand implications on the customer. I'm in Ireland too.

[MrsArcher23]

I’ve emailed them. It will be interesting to see their response. Presumably level of sales in UK is enough at the moment.

@MrsArcher23 hope they refund you - am in Ireland too and bought something on 1st July and wasn't charged any taxes etc.

Following just for the store recommendations

@Larach

Massimo Dutti is Spanish and & Other Stories is Swedish I think.

Massimo Dutti unfortunately is not great quality.

[Gonnagetgoing]

Uterque is Spanish but they f*cked up when I tried to order a nice skirt from them and sent completely the wrong item.

Natura is a Spanish brand with franchises throughout Spain, Portugal etc. The clothes are a bit new age hippy but I got some great high top canvas trainers, and canvas trainers there and free DHL delivery. Nice jewellery too.

Quick update - Wyse got back to me; if I don't pay the import charges the item will be returned to them and they'll refund me. Given that I ordered the item at the end of August, I hope I'll get a refund by Christmas

[MrsArcher23]

Glad to hear you had a response, even if it wasn’t something you wanted to hear @elonmusk. Wyse never bothered to reply to me :(
Unfortunately I’m now lusting after a Me+Em knit coord - expensive but beautiful.

[elonmusk]

Yes disappointing @MrsArcher23 but at least I'll get the money back. Now spending my time browsing Sezane and Baukjen instead

[MrsArcher23]

Plenty of beautiful clothes out there with no nasty surprises/uncertainty on delivery. Sézane and Baukjen have lovely things.
