Ted Baker

Slim choices for the slim guy.
This season is a tad pastel for me.
Regardless coats galore.

I was checking out the Ted Baker store at Gatwick and came across a shirt which I thought would be right up my friend’s alley. I pulled out my phone to take a picture to send my friend, so if they liked it I could pick up in a few days when I’m back. But I was stopped by a staff member telling me that photography is forbidden for ‘copyright reasons’.
What kind of copyright are we talking about here? I understand this policy for artisan stores who want to protect their unique designs, but Ted Baker literally puts HQ pictures of all its designs on its website — so what IP rights am I going to steal with one crappy picture with my phone?
I guess I won’t be showing my friend this shirt and won’t be buying it. Simple as that. I know this is not the staff member’s fault personally — but what a way to alienate your customers with an outdated policy as a company.

I love Ted Baker. I love it in the US and esp in the UK!!! Clothes are beautiful and moderately priced. The sales staff there is very very nice and super helpful. Will def go back!

This store was absolutely fantastic. In basically the Beverly Hills of London, the location is in a building with beautiful architecture — a great selection and friendly staff. I didn’t end up buying anything (£££!) but I certainly would have if I found something in my size (I’m small).
One critique is that I didn’t quite understand the store layout. The ground and first floors seemed to have both men’s and women’s clothes mixed together. I also had to keep asking for my size since not everything was displayed.
I will be back

I now have a blue skinny tie prominently featuring deer head that undoubtedly would have matched a beautiful multi-​checkered Ted Baker shirt I ruined after tumbling around in the mud with a hottie at Austin City Limits this past weekend. It was the first time I wore the shirt. Some would say that was a waste of 90 pounds and they might be right. Then again, that was a brilliant Sunday. Probably the highlight of my entire vacation actually.
Anyhow, the tie survived. And these two items were only a couple of a number of items I would have loved to have purchased but for the relatively higher end price tags of some of Ted Baker’s clothing. Admittedly, most of my Ted Baker shopping has sadly been limited to Gilt Groupe sales as 1) there are precious few opportunities to buy Ted Baker clothing stateside and 2) there is virtually no chance you will purchase a dud. The texture, the feel, and the stitching for all their products are the paragon of excellence, and it you are worried about fit, you can always see a tailor. It’s not like you aren’t spending a minor fortune anyhow. And if you haven’t figured out colors and how they will look on you, what makes you think a mirror is going to make that much a difference? You are going to make the same mistakes with or without a mirror. I’m not even saying that I can’t relate to that dilemma. I’m just saying you might as well at least wear something nice and moderately fashionable. That’s all.
There are plenty of nice places to buy clothes in London. Ted Baker happens to be one of my favorite places to do so. Take a visit. I doubt you will be disappointed.

Great clothes, terrible customer service.
Stopped in here looking for a dress for my friend’s wedding. I found an absolutely lovely midnight blue silk frock, but couldn’t find my size. I asked a passing sales assistant whether my size was in stock, and he replied, Yes, we have that size upstairs. He then turned around and went off to fold some garments on a shelf. I stood there for a few seconds as I actually thought he might be joking with me. He continued folding and then started chatting with another sales assistant. I neatly put the dress back on the rack and walked out, never to return.

Ok, so I like the clothes and this store is big enough to hold a great selection but what the hell is happening to customer service? I don’t mean to sound like an old lady but it’s just not what it used to be.
It makes such a difference to your shopping experience to have friendly and attentive staff. I don’t want someone following me about the shop and being TOO attentive but COME ON! A little acknowledgement would be great!
They seem to put all the friendly and helpful staff downstairs as both times I recently popped in I was greeted by two different fellas who were more than happy to help me but upstairs I was downright ignored by staff. Even when I came out the changing room there were 4 members of staff having a chat right outside yet none of them offered to take the clothes off me and I hung them on the rail myself. They all looked up and acknowledged my presence but weren’t interested in helping me in any way.
Great clothes, great store but better customer service needed. Sort it out, Ted!

Yellow high heels. With a bow. :)
Have only worn them once. But the fact that I have them — priceless.

YOU.
LOOK WHAT YOU STARTED TED BAKER ON REGENT! THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!
You’re the reason I have absolutely no money in my bank account. You’re the reason I have a closet full of gorgeous dresses and nowhere to wear them.
It was a normal day, I was just simply walking past your store and your beautiful lines on the cuts and friendly staff drew me right in. Oh, it started innocently enough, with just ONE embroidered polo. Just one. The next week, just a sweater. That’s all, just a nice sweater to wear out to nice dinners. But I don’t have a purse to go with that sweater… OH LOOK, HERE’S ONE ON THIS TABLE! IT’S FANTASTIC!
Years later I am still suffering from PTTBS, or Post Traumatic Ted Baker Syndrome, because now you’ve also moved to San Francisco and I can’t get enough and my bank yells at me a lot now. And it’s all because of YOU!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
