Dover Street Market (Designer Shop)

Dover Street Market is great! I have never found the staff to be rude - although sometimes they can be a little inattentive. Good selection of Lanvin, and the eatery is very good too.

Got a gorgeous Issa dress from here. Great-looking boutique with attentive, friendly sales staff. A nice shopping experience. Recommended.

Vivienne Westwood (Designer Shop)
10 November 2008

Having seen Piccola's review, I had to add that I couldn't agree more! I also found these reviews a bit randomly and I have also had terrible service when shopping at Westwood in Conduit Street.

The first time was around 2-3 years ago. I was shopping with a friend - we both treated ourselves to a little shopping spree. Trying on clothes in that shop was a nightmare! We were 'served' by the German girl who proceeded to shove clothes at us, leave us in the fitting rooms, and then roll her eyes and speak down to us when we needed other sizes. The worst service I have ever received in a designer store - more suited to Topshop!

The last time I was in there was a few months ago. My husband was trying on clothes downstairs and I was having a look at the womenswear. The staff were all crowding round the German girl who was prancing around like a supermodel in front of the mirror dressed up in an outfit. They were all screeching and laughing. But the most surprising thing was that there was a poor girl trying on a dress who was trying to look in the mirror and the staff were all ignoring her!

Honestly, how do these people keep their jobs? I work in public services and would be fired for juvenile behaviour like that! If I want to buy Westwood then I go to Selfridges now. Such a shame. I know that Westwood have a kind of anarchic attitude, but stupid silly and downright rude behaviour is not rebellious or anarchic. It just seems like the management there don't have a clue what goes on on their shopfloor. They should be ashamed!
