The other brand that is using the name then selling cheap looking tat is Butler & Wilson.I have bought in the past when there were some classic tasteful items but now? Awful garish & well overpriced.
You are so right. When BW first started on QVC years and years ago I bought loads of it and it was such good quality. Then I fell on a bit of hard times and I sold it all for really good prices. I recently bought a couple of things (think dog keyring) but I sent them back as they were vastly overpriced and the quality just wasn't there anymore. Now when I see a show I think just WHO would pay those prices for tin brooches.
