Kirks Folly - She’s back

[I Love Chocolate]

Kirks Folly returning in November.

I thought the company was defunked?

 

[Dream Girl]

Surely she still can’t look like that

Surely she still can’t look like that

With a good plastic surgeon, anything is possible I suppose.

I thought the company was defunked?

So did I, LATI but according to their website (https://www.kirksfolly.com/about-us):

The original Kirks Folly closed in 2014 after 35 glorious years in business - however, Jenniefer and Helen did not take kindly to retirement and started designing and manufacturing again because they just couldn't stop!

I bet they put Eilidh with her.

 

[loveallthingsitalian]

I didn’t like her or her stuff.

 

[Brissles]

I thought the jewellery was iffy, but I still have some of Dreamkeepers beaded ponchos and 1920s short slouchy jackets which will NEVER see the charity bag.

 

[Brissles]

I checked out the website, and they need to up their game if they want to re-establish themselves here, because it looks like clearance stuff they cant get rid of.

 

[boffy]

I bought some earrings a set of studs I think and I returned them. Never bought anything else.

Those Dyson vacuums will come in handy with all the glitter she blows over the studio. That will show if they really are that good.

If she is doing the same style of costume jewellery very old-fashioned when back then.

I have KF earrings & a Christmas tree brooch that was a 40th birthday gift from my sister & they're perfect. Considering the amount of garments, I can't call them fashion, bears & tacky garden ornaments that the Q shifts by the minute I think there's still a sizeable market for her stuff - get ready Charlie.

As covid's put an end to blowing out the candles on a cake she'll have to fling the stuff by hand. I suppose she may do all the shows from the US if this situation is still affecting travel, shame because following on from her with a Dyson hour would be interesting.

My life what a combination

A piece of cord (ebay by the yard) with magnetic opening (ebay by the dozens) then call it "mystic"? - pull the other one. I don't like the marketing style though it's so ridiculous it's almost watchable.

Her products were marketed as being magical, mystical, lucky, healing etc. You can’t make those claims now. Fairy dust was blown at certain callers for good luck.Viewers used to phone in to say they believed in fairies, and saw them regularly, and were actively encouraged to do so. It was like some sort of cult, with pictures of the parties that Jennifer Kirk used to hold at her home, grown women prancing about dressed as fairies, and I’m sure there were men dressed up as ‘fairy kings’. Quite disturbing! Q don’t allow Lola Rose to talk about the properties of their various stones, as they tried to go down that route some time ago. Anna occasionally manages to get in a hint , with ‘look on our website’ for information.

A lot of the stuff on there looks like it's interchangeable with Butler and Wilson's.

I could never decide whether it was a bit of harmless fun from the mad old bag who is Jenneifer, or whether it was cynical and exploitative of sad, lonely people with a lot of problems or illness in their life who, through desperation, would buy into anything if they thought it would 'cure' them, or bring them some resolution.

The old 'do your own research' trick.

It’s all probably made and ‘designed’ in the same Chinese factory I’d guess.

 

[Clothescloth]

I think Jennifer Kirk was laughing all the way to the bank. ‘Kirks Folly’ Folly being the operative word!

 

[Twinkle]

OH Good! I liked abit of DreamKeeper and Kirks Folly watches

I can answer that for you. It was cynical and exploitative of sad, lonely people.

I've never bought any Kirks Folly, but strangely I always used to find her voice soothing. Thankfully, not so soothing as to make me want to buy her things, throw fairy dust all over the place or dress up as a fairy, well not yet anyway.
