This is a scam

This is a scam. DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS COMPLANY. The company name suggests they are from London, but the garments come from China. They are cheap and badly made and do not resemble the items on the website (which also appears to have 5 star Trust pilot rating until you try to click onto it and nothing happens). When I requested a refund I was told that shipping to China was at my cost (~£30) and I would also have to pay admin fees and custom fees per item. They told me that most customers opt for a 15% refund without the requirement to send goods back. I have been left seriously out of pocket with shoddy goods.

Avoid at all costs

Ordered 2 items in May 2025, received tracking information but items never arrived. Took Mae London (who have nothing to do with London) a few weeks to get back to me saying the items had been delivered, another few weeks went past and Yodel showed proof that they had placed it behind a bin of a neighbour, (surprise, surprise the items went there when we checked) No idea why they left them on a neighbours property and not ours, plus we said dont leave with a neighbour. The items were bought for a special occasion (total cost £80) but as they never arrived we didnt need them after the event. Mae London wouldnt issue a refund as they had been 'delivered' a few more weeks passed and then they just decide to resend and refused our numerous requests for a refund. Items received but now we want to return, as its past the event and the sizing is terrible. Here's the best bit -£20 to £30 for return postage, handling fee £2.99 per item, customs charge £6.99 to £10.99 per item, meaning a refund of less than 50%. Conning company!!!!!!!!1

Temu pretending to be luxury

Company name is misleading. Not based in London and customers will have to pay a large fee out of their own pocket to return products to a warehouse in China. Delivery took weeks from China. Quality of the product was very poor - cheap fabric, did not look anything like the photo, colour of the fabric was teal whereas in the photo it was dark navy, overlocking was hanging off the edge of the fabric. They could only offer 10% refund and would not cover cost of shipping at all! Very disappointed and won't order from here ever again.

Unbelievable and disgusting why are they operating??

Unbelievable and disgusting company! Why are they allowed to operate? I am taking legal advice.

I wish I had read these reviews before I placed an order. This company does not operate in the UK!!

I had issues with the items taking 2 weeks to arrive, alarm bells started as thats not normal for what i assumed was a UK based company.

Their returns process is unclear as they expect you to take a 15% refund!! If you want a full refund they have an international returns policy which typically involves:

Shipping costs of £20–£30, depending on your courier

A handling fee of £2.99 per item

Customs fees of £6.99–£10.99 per item (depending on your courier)

dreadful company

dreadful company. DO NOT USE!!!
clothes are nothing like what are advertised and the return policy is a joke. you have to send to China and costs more than actual clothes you have ordered. they try everything to stop you returning goods by offering another product, at a cost, or a discount to keep the item. I wish I had checked the reviews more thoroughly. DO NOT ORDER!!!

Do not order from here

Do not order from here. The items took ages to arrive and when they did weren’t a good fit so requested to send them back to be told it would cost more than what I had paid for the item, having spent £55 on the items in question. They offered a 15% refund in return for not sending back. So unless you are 100% sure you will keep the item don’t order as returns policy awful.

Easy Exchange

I ordered the wrong size so I contacted customer care and they arranged an exchange. Julia was extremely helpful and kept me updated throughout. She was very efficient and very friendly, great customer service. I love my Maura Lace set, perfect for the Summer!

After several emails, and a few offers trying I won't return the parcel I finally got the address to return, in China, cost me over 20 pounds for tracked delivery and I am still waiting for the parcel to clear customs after over a month, so I end up spending over 100 quid on two dresses I do not want. Avoid

Do not buy from this company!!

Do not buy from this company!!! My daughter ordered the dress before consulting with me- I tried to cancel the order within an hour of purchase but they would not cancel. The quality of the product is absolutely awful, cheap rubbish. It’s nothing like what it looks like on line and really is not worth the money they charge - even at half price! They don’t offer free returns and they will only accept the return back to their central warehouse in Asia which is likely to cost more than the cost of the dress. It’s dreadful and I fell for it. It’s not a london boutique it’s trash….

Refused to give me a refund

Refused to give me a refund. You have to pay to return items so you’re always going to be at a loss even if you do get a refund. They offered 20% as they didn’t receive my good back. This didn’t even cover the postage of £26!
Many emails but still would not off any more in compensation for my inconvenience. Terrible customer service and slow responses.
Waste of money.
If the items fit then great quality but not worth the risk.

If I could I would put zero. Avoid like the plague.

If I could I would put zero. The dress was for a wedding abroad and took weeks to be shipped despite my chasing. Then despite waiting at home for the delivery in the days before my flight - the driver simply did not come. This was escalated to their customer service team multiple times with no help. Telling them to start the refund process was also a nightmare - despite not having a dress even delivered to my home.

Worst service ever. I suggest all avoid like the plague.

I think the business has been set up a scam. The clothes are of poor quality so likely don’t cost much to make, and you have to ship them back to China at your own (extortionate) cost in order to get a refund. The company will offer you a 10% refund to avoid you having to ship. I imagine the uptake of this makes the business worthwhile. Really frustrating, and I’m down £40. Don’t do it.
