These clothes used to be fabulous

These clothes used to be fabulous - great fabric, designs, consistent sizing, long-lasting, well-priced. Now - customer service is non-existent, sizes are only approximate, fabric is cheaper and designs are lacking. After returning a skirt 3 weeks ago, no contact. Emails aren't answered, phone calls go to voicemail. It looks like I'll have to contact Fair Trading to get my refund and will spread the word about this unfortunate company.

Hi Fiona,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, and I’m very sorry to hear about the trouble you’ve had.

I wanted to let you know that The Ark was acquired by new owners on 27th November 2024, and your experience relates to the period prior to this change. While we weren’t involved in the operations at that time, we absolutely understand your frustration and are working hard under the new ownership to improve both our product and our customer service.

As this review doesn’t pertain to the current owners or management, we would really appreciate it if you would consider removing or updating your review to reflect this.

If you’re still waiting on a refund or have any unresolved issues, please contact us directly on 03 9912 2713 and we’ll do our very best to assist.

Kind regards,
The Ark Clothing Co.
