Gosh Hoodies Direct From Nicola's Boutique

dollywops

For those of you who want one, and did not manage to get one from the Bow's shop or ebay, Nicola's boutique is now selling them on line.

People are already pre-selling them on ebay, including one seller who actually left negative feedback for poor delivery (but still managed to make a tidy profit on the 8 or 9 they resold on ebay)!

Is she starting a business then?

Well done to her if she is.

A little concerned that according to the website only 10% of each jumper is going to GOSH....

Nicola has obviously decided that there is a market for these products and has decided to set up on her own. Whatever she gives to Great Ormond Street is money they would not otherwise have.

Presumably, she can't be selling these products without some sort of licence to use the GOSH logo.

Good luck to her and I hope she donates lots of money to Great Ormond Street.

Sorry, but at £29 a T-Shirt :shocked: ....and just 10% of this to charity? Tsk, tsk..

It's a rip off whichever way you look at it

If people want these items, then at least they don't have to buy them on ebay now.

Surely, people who go into business are entitled to make a profit?

Can't remember which one, but one of them is opening a boutique in Brighton
(it was the blonde one wearing a green dress in the final show)

Since when has a size 14/16 been an extra large?!

That's true. Now it goes into Nicola T's pocket instead of someone else's. Sure the consumer might have certain benefits from buying it from her than off ebay but she's still profiting from them like any other ebayer. Also unlike those bought on the show, not all of the money is going to chairty.

As long as buyers are aware that they're buying a hoodie/t-shirt/whatever because they like it and not under the assumption that these are significantly contributing towards GOSH then Nicola T can charge as much as she wants for them.

I think whoever at GOSH deals with fundraising/managing the GOSH brand should have negotiated a more reasonable percentage. For that part it's not Nicola T's fault but I can hardly full heartedly approve of someone making excessive profits off the back of charity.

Yes i saw that, charging £1.50 just to tell them the link. Yeh she is helping ppl save some money, but yet still lining their own pocket.
Is it not nice to be nice.
When the darimeya dresses appeared on Ebay for more than double the price. My cousin sent message to the bidders telling them that ASOS were selling them as cost value and even gave them a discount code for 20%.
