I m sure most on here are as clued up or more so than me but just want to warn you there's a clothes company online with what looks like really nice clothes called M &S They even have the models standing outside a Marks and Spencer store BUT it’s a Chinese (Temu like firm) and the clothes will be nothing like Marks stuff. There is another which purports to be connected to Support Breast Cancer again really nice looking clothes in the pictures but trash in real life and absolutely nothing to do with Breast cancer or any other charity
Just a warning to not get taken in

Thank you.
I suspected as much, due to the frequency and length of ads.

Unfortunately these are everywhere at the moment, there is even a weight loss thing apparently from Boots, of course it isn’t.

Hate to say it and going on the usual judgemental reactions here but I have had some really nice clothes from Temu . Some have British labels on and also European ones. They do say Made in China as well but if you check clothes most actually are made in China these days. Not many factories left in Europe. Temu uses many different sources , the same ones as Amazon but I suppose they are ok because they are ‘American’.

I keep seeing dresses that I really fancy but am scared to order anything from Temu having seen the reviews.

If you see something say from Boots,M and S etc,go to the official Boots app,
And I might add nothing wrong with Shien ,Temu, Amazon, its a market place you just have to go to the (stall) seller you like, I have a couple of sellers I use for bedding rugs etc, also look at the reviews make sure they have plenty, and AI them too,
