Advantages: Cool designs, fairly affordable prices

Disadvantages: Not easy to access products, poor quality

Punky Fish is a cheap designer label, known as clubbing wear for women. It is fast becoming the new Gucci, and everyone's talking about the weird and wonderful clothes made by this company. I too had raved about this new range of clothes for a months, until a couple of weeks ago, I bought a skirt by Punky Fish. It was a pink, tiered skirt with a wide waistband. I absolutely loved it, and couldn't wait to wear it. I'd worn it once, when, just as I was about to wear it to a wedding anniversary party, I discovered a large split where the waistband joined the skirt. I could have understood if the item had been cheap, but at a price of £20, this item was quite expensive. However, when I returned the skirt and asked for a new one, the staff were very understanding and swopped it.

Since buying the skirt, I have read many reviews stating the same problem. Clearly this is a big concern for Punky Fish, and they do need to sort it out. As well as the clothes being poor quality, they are quite hard to "get hold of". Not many shops sell products by Punky Fish, and so this is also a problem for the designers. Moreover, I found that most of the clothes didn't even have a proper sizing range. On the label, it jus said "One size". When I tried the skirt on, it fitted perfectly. Well I'm 13, so surely that in itself is saying something. If the skirt fits on a 13 year old, what chance has it got of fitting on a 23 year old, who the clothes are really aimed at?!

So, although the clothing may be nice and fashionable-is the quality really up to the price? I don't think so.

Summary: Nice, but poor quality clothing.
