You need to be discriminating and make comparisons with similar in the market before buying but Gemporia does still offer very good value for money in terms of quality and price. I recently bought a van cleef look alike mother of pearl bracelet in Midas rose gold for a great price and it is...

I can't remember how the colours were described but I have both pale blue and pale pink and to be fair the quality of the cashmere is really lovely and the wraps are a good size/weight. I think I paid 99.99 for one of them and 125.00 for the other (prices at Gems being a bit random depending on...

Oh dear there is a small group of people who take this forum too seriously or can't appreciate that opinions and views can fluctuate.i have posted in the past positive comments when I have received purchases I have been delighted with and not so positive experiences. Gemporia is not perfect by...

That is fine with me. The thread is very anti Gemporia and comments that differ from those expressed by the small group of regular contributors are not treated respectfully.

I was just expressing an opinion which was not popular and clearly touched nerves. I suggest you look at your responses to.me and consider whether appropriate.

My view has not changed. I was never looking for anyone to agree with me just have the space to express an opinion which is what the forum is here for. Different views are healthy. I am just surprised how many nerves my comments have touched.

Anyhow let's all agree to to differ whether that be on Gemporia's financial outturn, whether the same products are available in Poundland/Temu etc. I see Gemporia with all its flaws but I continue to shop because I am happy with the end products I receive in terms of quality and value. I am...

As I say I am sorry for confusing you but affluent is usually used to describe comfortably off people with disposable income not the super rich.

I apologise for confusing you but would have thought in the context of Gemporia it was clear the reference was to those having a comfortable standard of living rather than the super rich.

I was meaning averagely affluent with disposal income who shop at John Lewis or M&S not Princess Kate 😀

That's a fair point but i just meant that price is not always the main driver for consumers making their purchases. The more affluent the consumer, the less likely they are to shop around at Temu for a bargain and they are more likely to be more the demographic Gemporia is aiming at.

It will be interesting as you say but I doubt the vast majority of customers now are offline buyers and not all consumers are solely driven by price which is why people choose to continue to shop at Waitrose when the same quality may be available at Aldi.

I think Gemporia's demographic may be changing and much more aimed at a younger more tech savvy market than previously, hence the change in product strategy and there will always be consumers who will rightly or wrongly go for what they are familiar with and where they have received good service...

Apologies Sazza I agree we should all be able to express our views, the issue with this thread was that any differing views are unwelcome and I do not see being labelled a hypocrite, getting out of wrong side of bed etc. is fair, inclusive or intelligent. Sorry.

I see 😂😁 😁

I suspect I did but apologise in any case 😀

I did and I stand by that as I do my post yesterday. They are completely separate views on different issues. Sorry if I confused you.

I am not agreeing with you or trying to score points at all, i am just saying this is not a thread where it seems possible to have a reasoned discussion unless you agree with those who contribute regularly. Happy for Mods to intervene and close. I wouldn't say you are the voice of reason. I...

I agree too. The forum is clearly not a place to have a reasoned discussion.

Companies evolve; they go through cost cutting transformation programmes if needed and customers determine whether an organisation succeeds. These are just one off examples. The comments in this thread seem to be from a small group and not representative of a wide group.
