It’s because everything is gifted by her “wonderful friends over at ….”
The outfit on the child cost an absolute fortune but she looks ridiculous. A tutu, wellies and an aran jumper and a bonnet. Chupi really does prove that just because it's expensive doesn't necessarily mean that it's nice!
I don’t see Chupi’s business surviving the recession that’s being predicted with her already massively inflated prices.
She puts me off the brand to be honest. I’d resent giving money to someone who is so snooty. She had a story recently about her kid having a jumper from Zara,” of all places”. Does she not realise how alienating that is for people who shop there but who might want to invest in her jewellery?
I obviously signed up to Chupi mailing list at some point, I cant remember. But I got 4 emails from them in the space for 48 hours. Really on the hard sell.
I have gotten lots of emails recently too, which prompted me to post as I hadn’t received any in a long time. Maybe things are already starting to slow down?
Yah, I haven't gotten their very annoying emails in ages but maybe they realised that if you're spending thousands on a "future heirloom" an email isn't going to sway you very far!
She is just vomit inducing. Why is everything so magical, divine, joyous, heavenly, scrumptious?
You were born into massive wealth, home schooled in your mansion and extort insane money for rubbish jewellery from ordinary people. Read the room Chupi.

A friend of mine used to work for the company, and has told me it’s hell to work for them! So they are out there promoting this great company, and treating their staff like crap! Glassdoor has some pretty damning reviews, and a couple of clearly fake ones 5 star ones written to obv cushion the blow!
pretty common for companies in general but fairly opposite to what is preached all over social media!

Wow! Some of the MANY bad reviews on Glassdoor:
Cons
Salary well below market rates Promises made during hiring never honoured Men are promoted much faster than women Workload is huge, overtime is necessary but not acknowledged Benefits are cut the second targets aren’t reached Toxic positivity No training Cult-like environment New roles constantly created at top level for external hires from big brand names, internal promotion is rare
Advice to Management
Give people a chance to do good work instead of overloading everyone with unrealistic deadlines Personal development is important and might stop the revolving door of great employees
Cons
Very poor salaries compared to industry standards and cost of living No professional development, no opportunities to grow within the company Internal promotion is extremely rare No pay rises and no transparency around pay No training and no budget for training Very poor communication and processes across departments, generally very disorganised ways of working Very poor, confusing and often contradictory communication from directors, directors often are not on the same page as each other Commitments and promises made by the company are frequently rowed back on or abandoned A culture of forced positivity where you do not feel able to raise flags about genuine issues or speak in any negative way about the company
Advice to Management
Structure, processes and communication throughout the entire company needs a lot of work. The company pats itself on the back a lot but in reality the salary package is really poor and benefits are the same as or worse than similar sized companies.
Cons
-Pay disparities between departments and no pay transparency available. -No pay review schedule in place or any transparency around pay review schedules. Pay increases seem to be ad-hoc and given to some not others. -Salaries are consistently below market rates. -Micro-management from C level team - lack of chain of command in place, C-Level team contact team members directly on daily tasks as opposed to going through managers first, sometimes out of office hours. -Very little time given to project management, requests for new work are frequent and disorganised. -Lack of project management leads to many departments working overtime, despite the fact that work/life balance and a 9-5 day is promoted externally. -Very few development opportunities or career progression within teams. The company appears to be more interested in hiring externally than developing their current team in order to take on more senior positions. -Benefits are changed without updates. -Due to the lack of any long term incentives, benefits or bonus schemes there is a culture of not rewarding innovation or hard work. -Poor communication from the top down - information is circulated on a need to know basis. -High attrition rates as a result of all of the above.
Advice to Management
More emphasis is needed on effective people management from the top down. The company has evolved into a post start up phase in its complexity and size, but the culture of underpaying staff because it is a great place to work no longer rings true. Leadership needs to decide if this is a small company that is a lovely place to work, or a big company that rewards and incentivises its employees appropriately and runs efficiently like a large corporation. Attempting to be both is not working.

I remember she was looking for a senior management marleting role and the pay was tit so none of this is surprising to me! I can imagine ger giving out orders from her country mansion whole preaching about being positive
I see she stayed in a pink house a few weeks ago. A few people asked where it was and she didn't reply. Seems really mean and possessive, like she wants to keep these "darling gorgeous" things to herself lest they be tainted by lowly plebs who shop in tesco
