Handbags and glad rags

[Maid in Devon]

I purchased a black chained handbag from gemporia recently, yes I fell for the over gushing selling of the two presenters. When it arrived it was the biggest load of tat, vegan leather otherwise known as plastic. The bag smelt dreadful due to the material used, plastic, sorry vegan leather. Needless to say I have returned it. The brand ambassador was obviously singing its praise, but I follow her on social media and believe me she wouldn't be seen dead wearing the tat she flogs on the telly, which I believe she is the designer! I used to love this channel for its jewellery but this is last item I will be buying from this range, cheap, nasty, if your going to do it, do it well. give me a river island bag any day.

Just saw the bag on earlier with Hattie and Ellis. They had a picture of a Chanel bag which Hattie designed it on. Ellis said she'd bought 6!!!!!!!

Just goes to show she has no style if she has bought 6. After I sent the bag back I purchased a beautiful lulu Guinness bag in the sale...win win. Note to self, don't fall for the rubbish these telly shop assistants spout.

Hi there,
I am sorry to hear you felt that inconvenience on buying a leather bag from Gemporia.

Ellis today draped in some tartan cloth, clutching a pleather bag…..

‘you can get both of these and only spend £50 and it will look like you’ve spent 5k’

I don’t think so dear

Ellis ‘I’ve bought 10 of these’ Ward. She forgets the heady days of Ideal World and selling Beanie Babies. It does irritate me that she frequently references all the Hermes scarfs she owns, do we really believe she would wear these cheap shiny scarves instead of one of those?

Is this the same Ellis Ward who allegedly bought every silk scarf she brought to air while working at TJC?

Like she'd be seen dead in any of that Donatello tat.

Who wants ‘Destello Darlings’ splashed across their frontage?

I was flicking around the end of last week, and now they are selling dressing gowns, the faux silk ones.

Of course, Hattie was raving about it.

I saw them at launch, with Ellis and Hattie enthusing over them, how expensive they were to produce, and so like silk! They look like something off the market.

I love it when Ellis compares cheaply made plastic bags and scarves to designer names. If you have the kind of income that means you can shop on Bond Street etc, which Ellis apparently has, why lie so transparently when flogging your knock offs?

I don't see why Gemporia doesn't just own what it's doing with its cheap knock-offs of famous designers and brands. They're not scared of doing it with their jewellery and perfumes, after all.

Just caught the end of a conversation with Hattie and Ellis. Ellis said it would cost another 20k to get it here for Christmas but she didn’t want to pass that on to customers so she’d rather launch it in February instead. Hattie nodded in agreement.

Which basically meant that the manufacturers told them that they won't get new stock until after Christmas.

Probably because of supply chain/fuel problems that are impacting on everyone in one way or another.

But that's not positive news, even if it is true

 

[Mommabear]

Another four scarves for Ellis today. She must have a shed load now. I really don’t think they do anything for her either draped over her like sheets.

 

[Kit10]

I caught a bit of it, of course Ellis, people will think you’ve spent hundreds on them! But she couldn’t resist mentioning her much loved Ferigamo scarf!

Ellis was trying to compare Destello with Fendi earlier this afternoon. If only they compared.

It would work if the purpose was to compare cheap, market stall level tat with designer goods.

But it's nowhere near "like for like".
