Personal shopping & sourcing

Find it. Fit it. Style it.

Sold out, hard to find or just not sure what to go for? Tell us what you're after and we'll do the searching, checking and styling for you.

What we offer

Three ways we can help. Use one, or all three.

Sourcing

The piece you want has sold out, isn't sold in the UK or is impossible to get in your size. We track it down.

  • Sold-out and past-season pieces
  • Hard-to-find sizes and colourways
  • Trainers, outerwear, bags and accessories

Personal shopping

You know roughly what you want but not the exact piece. Give us a budget and we'll come back with options.

  • Shortlists built around your budget
  • Gifts sorted, start to finish
  • Honest advice on what's worth the money

Styling

Help putting it all together, from a single piece to a full look for an event or a new season.

  • Outfits built around a key piece
  • Sizing and fit advice by brand
  • Looks for events, trips and occasions

How it works

Simple, personal and no surprises. You see the price before you pay anything.

  1. Step 1

    Send your brief

    Tell us the piece, size, budget and any deadline. Photos and links help.

  2. Step 2

    Options & price

    We come back with what we can get, its condition, the price and a timeframe.

  3. Step 3

    Secure it

    Happy with it? Pay a deposit and we lock the piece in.

  4. Step 4

    Checked & delivered

    We inspect it in-house, then send it to you tracked.

Deposits & payment

Clear from the start

Sending a brief is free and you're under no obligation until you say yes to the price. To secure a sourced piece we take a deposit before we buy it for you.

Deposit to secure Paid once you've approved the price, so we can buy the piece on your behalf.
Sometimes full payment For limited or high-demand pieces we may need payment in full up front. We'll always tell you first.
Balance before dispatch Any remaining balance is paid once the piece has passed inspection, before it's sent.

If we can't get the piece we agreed, your deposit is refunded in full.

Timeframes

Agreed before we start

Every piece is different. Some we can get in days, rare pieces can take longer. We agree a timeframe with you before you pay, and keep you updated the whole way.

Our authenticity promise

Send your brief

The more detail the better. We'll reply personally by email.

Free to send. No obligation to buy.

Good to know

Does it cost anything to send a brief?

No. Sending a brief is free and there's no obligation to buy. You only pay once you've seen the price and said yes.

How does the deposit work?

Once you approve the price, we take a deposit so we can buy the piece for you. For limited or high-demand pieces we may ask for full payment up front, and we'll always tell you before you commit. Any balance is due after the piece has passed our inspection, before it's sent.

What if you can't find it?

We'll tell you honestly, and suggest alternatives if there are good ones. If you've paid a deposit for a piece we then can't get, it's refunded in full.

How long does sourcing take?

It depends on the piece. Some take days, rare or limited items can take longer. We agree a timeframe with you before you pay anything, and keep you updated throughout.

How do I know it's authentic?

Every piece is inspected by us before it's sent to you, and we only buy from sources we trust. Read our authenticity guarantee for the full detail.

Can you help with styling if I'm not buying from you?

Styling works best alongside a piece we're sourcing or shopping for you. Mention it in your brief and we'll let you know what we can do and confirm any cost before we start.

Can I return a sourced piece?

Your rights under UK consumer law apply to sourced pieces just as they do to anything else you buy online from us. See our returns policy for how it works.

How will my order be delivered?

Once it's passed inspection, we send it tracked with Royal Mail. You'll get tracking as soon as it's on its way.
