I purchased a pair of glasses from Charles & Keith which broke at the folding point after just three wears. Three. I was devastated as I genuinely loved them.
What followed was even more disappointing. Despite providing photos and raising a formal complaint, I was told the damage was caused by “external force” — which is simply not true. The glasses snapped at a structural joint under completely normal use.
I asked multiple times for the matter to be escalated to a manager, and this was never confirmed or actioned. The response I received was a copy-paste dismissal with zero accountability.
A product that fails after three uses is not fit for purpose. I am now pursuing a chargeback through my bank. I would urge anyone considering a purchase to be aware that if something goes wrong, do not expect Charles & Keith to stand behind their products.
I have been shopping with CHARLES & KEITH for over 10 years, and they have never let me down. Their products are always stylish, well made, and excellent quality. Whether it’s shoes, handbags, or accessories, I’ve always been impressed with both the design and durability.
The customer service is consistently professional and helpful, making every shopping experience enjoyable. I can always count on CHARLES & KEITH for fashionable products and reliable service.
I highly recommend them to anyone looking for trendy, high-quality accessories and outstanding customer care.

Very disappointing experience.
I ordered a bag on 28/4 as a birthday gift for my wife, with delivery advertised as 2–5 days. After 11 days, it still had not arrived and missed the occasion completely.
The delay was only explained after I contacted customer service myself, and no real solution or compensation was offered. Poor communication and very frustrating overall.

Honestly one of the worst customer service experiences I’ve had.
I placed my order almost a month ago and the parcel got misdelivered by Royal Mail. I know that part is not fully CHARLES & KEITH’s fault because the parcel was marked as delivered somewhere else and basically went missing. I even checked the address, nearby accommodations, post office, everything possible and still couldn’t find it.
What’s really frustrating is the way this whole thing has been handled after that.
I made complaints with both Royal Mail and CHARLES & KEITH almost 3 weeks ago and I still haven’t received any clear answer about what’s actually happening. No proper updates, barely any replies to emails, and every message is just “the investigation is ongoing” over and over again.
Meanwhile I bought the bag using 3 payments and now my next payment is about to go through for a product I never even received.
I’ve been the one constantly chasing updates, contacting Royal Mail myself, sending proof, confirming addresses, following up again and again, and honestly I’m exhausted at this point.
The parcel going missing may not entirely be your fault, but making a customer wait weeks without proper communication or clarity is definitely not okay.
Really disappointed because this was my first purchase with CHARLES & KEITH and it completely ruined the experience for me.

the quality seems OK and the designs are nice, but they lack flexibility. I asked for a partial reimbursement of the return costs (around 30€) and they refused.

Ordered a handbag for my wife and we waited for two weeks only to be told that the package got lost. Now I have to wait 7-14 days for a refund and my one-time discount code is gone. Charles and Keith is a garbage business who treats their customers poorly!!

I placed an order on the 29th and it's no where to be found.
The tracking history says 'in transit'
I have contacted the team but there has been no response. Really frustrated with the situation!

Nice but not practical for me , I wish the bag had more structure .

Absolutely love these trainers, so comfortable and unusual design.

I have nothing bad to say about C&K. i’ve ordered from the website at least 5 times. I bought shoes and bags for myself and other people and they were impressed by the quality so was I. I understand their late delivery was coming from Hong Kong because that’s where their main office is and I had no problems with that. Will order again and again!

Awful and unhelpful customer service - reads like they’re just copying from a script with no care. Ordered my item over a week ago, and my confirmation email indicated shipping in 3-5 days. When I asked they emailed to say actually their warehouse had some sort of issue and there’s a delay, which I’m certain wasn’t flagged at check out or in the confirmation email. No real apology and they won’t confirm when my shoes will arrive - how difficult is it to provide an ETA? Having read the reviews I’m worried I’m being scammed. If they can’t give a proper date I think I’ll report them to trading standards and charge back via my bank.
Definitely doesn’t fit the polished image they’re going for.
Really really disappointed.

If there is a rating way lower than 1 star, that’s what I’ll give them. Delivery took 2 months with no clear information on when will i get the item. Tracking link vague and cust support not much help.

Reply from CHARLES & KEITH
The worst company I’ve ever bought to I bought from them two times both of the times they never delivered and took my money, but never give me the product. Please don’t buy save your money.

Reply from CHARLES & KEITH
I have 2 products from this brand. And both are very disappointing. Poor quality with high price.
Handbag only last for 1year
Shoes only last for 6month, also not comfortable to wear.

Really disappointed with my recent order from Charles & Keith.
I placed an order on March 13 and it was shipped via Royal Mail, but the parcel got stuck at the Coventry hub for over a week and was eventually confirmed lost.
What’s more frustrating is the customer service experience — instead of taking ownership as the sender, I was asked to provide “proof” of my conversation with Royal Mail (which was done via phone, so no transcript exists).
As a customer, I expect the brand to handle courier issues directly and resolve things efficiently. I’m still waiting for a clear resolution on whether my order will be replaced or refunded.
Love the products, but the aftercare and support really need improvement.

Received my bag yesterday after seeing it advertised on my socials - I’m forever buying bags and the sizing isn’t right - it was a well presented advert and purchased
I’m extremely happy I did
It arrived packaged well
Got 10% off and from start to finish was perfect with the ending amazing
Can’t wait for the weekend when I will be using my bag
Would highly recommend

I’m extremely disappointed with Charles & Keith and their customer service.
I placed an order that never arrived, and despite reaching out multiple times over several months, I’ve received little to no response. When they do reply, it’s vague and unhelpful, with no real effort to resolve the issue.
It’s frustrating and unacceptable that I’ve been left chasing this for so long without a refund or proper explanation. Customers shouldn’t have to fight this hard to get their money back for an item they never received.
At this point, it feels like they are simply avoiding responsibility. I expected much better from a well-known brand, but this experience has completely put me off ordering from them again.
I would strongly advise others to be cautious when ordering online, especially if something goes wrong — don’t expect timely or effective support.
