Original Penguin

I called to enquire about some desert boots. Was not impressed by the guy who dealt with my enquiry he was simply not interested and made no effort to help (their other branch in Westfield, Stratford did they reserved what I wanted and were very friendly in comparison).
Stores like these are ten a penny your products are great but you’re expensive. The difference between someone shopping with you or not depends on customer service. Not a big ask when you consider there’s online shopping and better service elsewhere.

This little shop (that seems to be invisible on the internet, with almost 0 trace of it’s address or existence) attracted me immediately because penguins are my favourite animals! And perhaps now my favourite clothes store. This place is very swanky, the clothes screaming ‘FASHIONABLE’ at you. On clothes racks, they have outfits (eg, a Jumper/​Shirt combo or Coat/​Jumper/​Shirt combo) to exhibition how good they look, and the individual constituents of these outfits are found folded up in immaculate piles on various counters around the shop. I found the staff unconciously intimidating though. following me around and eyeing me carefully, they didn’t ask if I needed assistance but made me feel like I was being chaperoned. You can expect to pay from £200−300 on a good outfit so this is definitely limiting their clientele but hey, their attitudes can be justifiable. maybe they can smell a penny pincher like me…
