The Fashion Guide reader Rachel, queued, shopped and conquered in Newcastle today, in the hunt for Jimmy Choo for H&M gladiators. In homage to her bravery and to the great comment she sent us, we felt her story should be told..
I queued for the Newcastle store I arrived at 6.15 am not knowing whether I would be early enough or not – desparate for a pair of gladiators nearly all of the bracelets and any of the bags I could get my hands on. At a freezing 7.45 the lady came out with our wristbands YAY I had made the first 160 my timeslot was …….. 10.35 ouch I was a teeny bit dissapointed thinking there wouldnt be much left. I didnt queue for the store opening at 9 not really wanting any of the clothes I went back at ten past nine and they had all gone. Long Story short I got my gladiators they are Gorgeous they didnt have the zebra heels or zebra pumps in my size and none of the 4 bags I wanted were left either but I got 3 bracelets that I wanted!!! I think the queue system worked great although not sure the stock levels were right I wonder if next time people should have to register their size and stuff and have ID and they are only allowed that size and one of each style there were a group of lads in front of us by quite a way and they were only there for ebay – bet they got the zebra shoes and bags and have them listed at like £120. – All in all though I got my shoes and my bracelets and went back home to bed!!!
Well done Rachel, wear those gladiators with pride!
