We are constantly looking at the way we work with brands and thought it might be useful to ask which ones you like best, why, and what you would tell them they were doing right/wrong if you had the chance. We would also love to know about any products you particularly like from your favourite brands too

Can I throw Boden into the mix. Their styles are excellent, as is their customer service.

Just want to be sure that the 'real' Jo Malone is alive and kicking and has re-branded as 'Jo loves' and has a lovely little boutique shop in the Victoria area of London. Bet she kicks herself daily that she gave up the name when she sold the original business. I go to her because she is the genius behind it all.

Cotton Traders - their products fit me!
Hotter Shoes - comfortable and worth the price
Lidl and Aldi for real chocolate
Aveda shampoos, but now realise they are not cruelty free sad
Dunelm - a cheaper alternative to Lakeland and good for household textiles
Waitrose for anything I can't find in Aldi grin
