My Review

2 out of 10 stars
I am a designer and have been to the Berwick street shop to purchase fabrics several times out of necessity. This shop stocks a wide range of fabrics at reasonable prices but the disappointing thing however is that the staff are not very helpful and prefer to stand behind the counter looking miserable. All the times I have been there not a single member of staff has approached me and offered to assist. Even the times I have asked for assistance I was made to feel like I was a bother. I don't believe the staff are knowledgeable about fabrics as the website purports otherwise they will have a bit more respect for silk and not rip the fabric apart each time I have made a purchase instead of cut it with a pair of scissors. This is the sort of thing you will expect when you purchase cheap fabric from a market stall and not a high end shop like The silk Society. I only purchase from this shop out of necessity but feel short changed each time as I have to lose a good 2 inches of fabric before its fit for purpose because the rip.
