Advantages: Good range of clothes, cheap, easy to order
Disadvantages: some quality is not so good

I first ordered from La Redoute website (www.redoute.co.uk) recently when I was given an order code that gave me £25 off my order with no minimum spend value, plus free p&p so I thought I'd try it out. SEARCHING & ORDERING I found the website easy to navigate and easy to use. There is a very wide range of products available and some can even be tried on your "Virtual Model" (www.mvm.co.uk) to get a good idea of what items look like before you ... Read review

Advantages: Style, Quality, Choice, Excellent website, Price

DEPARTMENTS The women's section alongside the usual categories ... Read review

Advantages: The free gifts
Disadvantages: The sizing

My first introduction to the Redoute catalogue was via the Internet. There was an introductory offer of £25 off your first order which sounded a bit too good to be true to me but I thought I would have a look anyway. It's always difficult to have a good look at the clothes on the Internet but I managed to pick out some very reasonably priced sweaters, gave my debit card details on their secure site and waited. A week or so later, the jumpers arrived ... Read review

Advantages: Good range of styles
Disadvantages: Continental sizing, charges interest

Confession time - I am a bit of a catalogue fiend. There is nothing better than leafing through choosing new clothes at three in the morning when you can't sleep. From my current five catalogues, La Redoute is where I turn for unusual, good value items. La Redoute is a french company that has grown in popularity over the last five years. When I first got into it, no-one over here had really heard of the company. It is still the case that none of ... Read review

Advantages: good range, dealt with problems well, items arrived quickly
Disadvantages: delivery charge if you don't have internet access

I have not always used La Redoute as my first mail order catalogue but after hearing many recommendations from friends, I decided to give them a try. I received a catalogue promptly and begin flicking through the pages like a maniac looking for what I wanted to buy. I was not short on what to buy there were lots of great items and there always is and at affordable prices too. I always flick through from start to finish missing out menswear but ... Read review

Advantages: unusual and good value clothes
Disadvantages: the usual mail-order disadvantages

I am not a fan of mail-order shopping in general because it's hard to know what you're getting, but out of the ones I've tried, La Redoute is the cataloque I prefer. Maybe it's because I've lived in France and like French clothes! But I do find that La Redoute has the most clothes which appeal to me. Of course I think there's a lot of junk in there too - by junk I mean styles I don't like. But there is a very wide range, so I would imagine there's ... Read review

Advantages: Great Choice, cheap sections
Disadvantages: Generally pricey, slow, uncommunicative, rubbish customer service, awful courier system, No Updates

I have used the service of this "French chic" catalogue on numerous occasions without a problem, my clothes have arrived, they usually fit, and it if they don't then you can arrange a day for a courier to come and collect the parcel free of charge. My last two experiences have been somewhat different. In January I placed a lingerie order for my mums birthday present. Most items were out of stock, now I can appreciate that it was just after Christmas ... Read review

Advantages: good sales
Disadvantages: very slow delivery, wrong items often sent

I have been using La Redoute for years now and the only thing I have the catalogue for is their sales. Their service in general is not very good but they do reduce their clothes a lot! The clothes in the La Redoute catalogue are not your height of fashion clothes that you would be wearing out. They are basic things that you can wear every day. Obviously everybody needs these so having a catalogue full of them can’t be a bad thing! Ordering ... Read review

Advantages: Some good designs that don't have Designer price tags. Nice catalogues.
Disadvantages: Not all the clothes they sell are value for money. Dodgy courier service.

I was a La Redoute member for about a year and a half. I must say their catalogues are always arranged in a very attractive way, and some of their clothing designs are quite nice and unique (not often seen on high street shops yet) and don't have an expensive Designer price tag. I've ordered clothes for myself, my husband and my daughter. However, some of their clothes look better on print than in reality. The materials used for some of their ... Read review

Advantages: Wide range, including lots of 'mini price' clothes
Disadvantages: Delivery charge

I love La Redoute. I turned to it when I was getting bored of my mother's catalogue (Kays) and wanted something different - most other UK catalogues look so samey. I was surprised to find that not only did La Redoute carry lots of European style clothes, it also featured many classic pieces. Even more surprising were the prices. You can order either through the website (ideal for checking availability) or ask to be sent a catalogue and order via ... Read review

Advantages: good catalogue with nice designs
Disadvantages: delivery times are very slow

I started using La Redoute catalogue, after I saw some clothes modelled in Mother and Baby Magazine. I have got to admit they are beautiful clothes. So I sent off for the catalogue which duly arrived (about 2 months later) and sat down to have a good flick through. There are three sections Femme, Enfant and Homme (by now you will have gathered that this is french fashion!!). The female section is quite classy, with clothes ranging from tailored suits ...

Advantages: Flair, reasonable prices and quality
Disadvantages: long delivery times

La Redoute is a moderately priced catalogue that gives a good alternative to the regular mail-order catalogues. The range of clothes offered is good with an emphasis on fashion and is thus more suitable for the younger market. However, there are a good number of more classic lines which are suitable for all. One area that is worth a look at is their range of business suits. These are a real boon for young people looking to develop a basic work wardrobe. ... Read review
