Deirdre Bounds had been asked to present ‘The Real Price of Gold’ a documentary on Channel 4 ‘Dispatches’ estimated to target millions of viewers. Even after years working as an author, speaker, ex-comedienne and businesswoman, Deirdre, who is more than comfortable under pressure, knew this was a big deal!
Leading up to her personal shopping experience we had many conversations and with each phone call or coffee the requirements of how she must look for the show grew, putting my knowledge, expertise and resources to the ultimate test.
Here’s what Deirdre had to say following her consultation…
“Straight speaking with an eye for detail as well as fashion - Luke helped me thin-out my wardrobe, chose fabulous outfits - but perhaps more importantly made sure that I understood what suits my body shape. Now, with Luke's guidance, I can shop with confidence.”
"Luke is personable, well informed, fun and exceptionally good value. I used to know what suited me and how to dress, but as years have added little bulges and shape changes, shopping has become a chore and I had lost confidence in my ability to dress myself well. One afternoon with Luke changed all that and I am now really looking forward to a shopping trip with my teenage daughter this afternoon...[A few hours later] My shopping experience was brilliant. Will look forward to shopping now instead of dreading it... [A week later] I'm looking for a dress but having fun with it now and its really great to know that if it looks terrible its just because it doesn't meet my rules. Not because I'm fat and old!"
“I cannot recommend Luke highly enough! He is professional, considerate and utterly charming. He made all the ladies at the event we organised relaxed, comfortable and confident. He has simple but effective ideas that can make any lady go happily from the office to a party glowing.
I will be working with him again very soon... What more can I say!”
"Having struggled with my wardrobe for years I finally sought the help of a Personal Shopper. My consultation with Luke was so relaxed yet professional. I think Luke really understood my lifestyle & personality meaning the fashion & style advice I received was great. Now I have far more confidence in my wardrobe, my appearance & most importantly myself. Thanks "
"I have tried other personal shoppers in the past and have never been satisfied with the service as I felt like they didn't listen to what I wanted. Luke listened to me and catered for my every need. Luke is professional and affordable yet still offers a service with a personal touch. I am currently saving up for my next shopping trip! "
“Luke's personal approachability is very engaging and utterly charming. He's straightforward, honest, tactful and full of good ideas - everything you need in a stylist and personal shopper!”
"Great experience. Achieved my goal of finding clothes to make me look good. Would definitely go in the week next time as the shops closed too early on Sunday!"
“I have worked with Luke this year, hiring him as an expert. Not only was Luke personable, warm, and conscientious but he had an incredible talent for understanding and knowing his business inside and out. In future I will definitely be re-hiring Luke for similar projects.”
"I used Luke to refresh my image and wardrobe after having 2 children in the last 3 years. We had a great shopping trip where we looked at clothes Luke had put aside in Kendals and then we looked around Kendals and other shops. Luke does not restrict himself to expensive shops, e.g. we went to Zara and M&S, so I didn't spend more than I had budgeted for. I'm really enjoying my new look and it's made me feel very confident. Thank you Luke."
