I was wondering if anyone had experience of using the personal shopping service in Arnotts. I would love to hear others peoples experiences and if it was it worthwhile? How did the the process work? Was there a push to buy? My work wardrobe needs a bit of an upgrade and I’m lacking some inspiration. I was thinking of using the personal shopping service. Any info would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
I did it a few years ago. It was great. Got some lovely dresses. Be prepared to spend a bit of money as Arnotts isn’t cheap, but also there’s no obligation to buy anything.
You’ll have your own lovely dressing room where the girl will bring you lots of things on. I brought a pair boots and a pair of heels with me from home so I could see what the clothes looked like with different shoes. I also had some pics saved on my phone of the style I liked but was open to her opinion too. 100% worth it.
Fantastic, thank you so much! That’s a great idea to bring shoes and boots from home.
Highly recommend the personal stylist in Dundrum BT's. Lorna is her name and she's absolutely brilliant
I will take a look there too, thank you!
I did it a few months ago to get an occasion dress; it was a brilliant experience and I will be back for a more general wardrobe update soon!
I booked online, met the stylist and explained what I was looking for. It took her maybe 25mins to pull a few dresses, but honestly I could have worn any of them- she was a genius. The cost of what she brought out varied as I didn’t give her a hard budget- but I dress I ended up with was only 160eur and even at that there was no pressure to buy at all.
A very stress free experience overall!
Sounds fantastic, thank you so much for your reply!
I have done it twice. Once for a wedding, and once for a general wardrobe update. I'd highly recommend it. You're in a private, comfortable room. The personal shopper was lovely and really knew her stuff. There's no pressure at all. Both times, I left with a large bag of stuff, and very happy.
Thanks so much for your reply, it sounds like a fantastic service. I’ll definitely book in.
Sounds interesting. What does it cost?
It says on the website that they take €50 deposit which is redeemable against purchase. I booked a session for the end of January and I wasn’t charged at booking. Not sure if that’s a glitch, but reasonable enough, I feel.
I think I will check it out
Good stuff, I think it sounds really good based on the responses. I’m happy to let you know how I get on if you’d like, not booked in till the end of January.
