A lovely girl was more than helpful once I told her I wanted to purchase 3 suits. Once home, suit 1, the zip bust straight away and returned for exchange. Suit 2 has been exchanged once as the trouser lining has completely ripped. The lining has all ripped again , but am fed up with what feels like continuously returning. I put on suit 3 and the stitching popped in the 1st minute. I reinforced it myself! Its only office work I do! I do not recommend Hobbs!!

Hobbs (as most women will know) has been around for ages. It seems to be very *safe* when it comes to styles and fabrics, nothing outlandish here.

The clothes are gorgeous and well made but shockingly expensive for what they are. I'd prefer to pay more for a designer brand than pay full price for some of Hobbs' clothes.

In the past though, have bought a good quality sleeveless vest top (wide straps) in black which although plain is very good quality and an emerald green short sleeved fine knit sweater in the sale.

I've also in the past bought gorgeous flat suede/nubuck shoes from them, full price too.

I just feel they're a bit too *yawn* boring and overpriced.
