Nessa Cronin - Vanity Fair

[Thelaalaa]

I will sing Nessa's praises all day long. I am a bigger girl and Nessa really helped me with my body confidence. I shopped with her in Vanity Fair, online and in the pop ups, she has the same energy in person and is just a breath of fresh air in the fake insta world.

You clearly have an agenda here. I've bought stuff off the try on online and at pop ups and there's nothing cheap or tatty about it. Her Jolies are almost 30 euro less than Next too.

Like any shop there's stuff that's more to some people's taste than others, and better quality than others, but your attacks on Nessa tonight are very pointed and unfair.

I have to agree. I've bought a few things from Nessa. She's always honest. She has openly said it's not the same quality as Vanity fair.
Anything I've bought has been grand.
Some of her stock a bit "mad" but that's ok, I don't have to like everything she sells. Just like I don't like everything in River Island ect.

I think you’ve given Nessa some great material there! I really like her to be honest.
She’s a smart business woman and I loved her shop in Newbridge. I also like some of her casual gear. And like the different size models to show them

 

[Ellegee]

Ah she’s a scam artist. One size is bullshit

How is she a scam artist? She purposefully uses models of all shapes & sizes to show how each item will look, sometimes it’s obvious from that that it’s not really a one size fits all &
sometimes they’ll say that it really goes up to x size but that’s down to the manufacturer, not her & people have a choice not to buy after seeing it on the girls. She actively encourages people to view her stories before buying

Just found this thread…. As a woman who fluctuates in size, I really miss the warmth of vanity fair. I was only there half a dozen times but honestly never felt more welcome in a clothes shop than I did in there. Her staff were amazing, and never did the hard sell.

the pop up shops were brilliant, such a great buzz and full of women complimenting each other which is unlikely to happen in a river island changing room. Her stuff can be quite quirky without a doubt,but there are lots of hidden gems on the website. I love that the orders arrive with affirmation cards, I think it’s a really nice touch.

I can’t see Nessa ever opening a shop again, but I hope she keeps the online store going, and that she brings back the pop ups next year.

She’s trading off the reputation of her previous business which stocked high end labels. She’s now selling cheap tat at a massive mark up

[Goldvoya]

Hope her new venture works out. She deserves it.

 

[Curlique]

Horses for courses. She wouldn't keep buying it if it didn't keep selling. I've bought from her recently, stuff I liked. Don't care who else likes it. Can't say I like all her stuff but show me a shop where you love everything, I've yet to find one of those!

 

[maisie20]

Ya I don’t think she’s a scam artist she is open about things getting retuned too and her return policy is easy

 

[Thelaalaa]

I love the dungarees, I've a pair and they are the most comfortable item of clothing I own.
I think Nessa's selling point is that she shows the clothes on different body shapes and that she makes you disregard what size is on the label

 

[Soap Star]

We all have our own taste in clothes. What's with the need to judge? Like any shop Nessa has some stuff I like and some I wouldn't wear in a million years but I know others will love. Each to our own

I’m posting on tattle where things we like and dislike are discussed. I didn’t judge anyone. I think some of the stuff she’s selling looks ridiculous. That’s my opinion. Like I said I really like Nessa. I’ve been in Vanity Fair and she’s absolutely stunning in real life. I found her so helpful and friendly. I’m just not into some of the graphic prints and weird shaped dresses. No offence intended.

 

[Curlique]

Jesus wept, her new clothes line! The prices & the cut is brutal. Making models look like they’re wearing a sack !

Ah here. They are Irish made, size adjustable, adaptable with the belts, bows, sleeves etc. If they were made in China they'd be a fraction of the price but fair play to her. Most Irish designers get their stuff made abroad and still charge those prices and higher

 

[Curlique]

Ya I don’t think she’s a scam artist she is open about things getting retuned too and her return policy is easy

And she doesn't bitch about returns like Maeve from Love Cherish

 

[Soap Star]

Her crown popped out & she had to wait on an appointment at her regular place. She couldn’t give a shit which I admire her for.

I actually admire her and enjoy her content , buy the clothes lads what in the fuck is going on. Even her models look embarrassed at some of the get ups.

 

[JustmeKC]

I love the concept of what she’s done. Way outside my price range but I can see the appeal to certain types of people.

 

[Irishjools]

It's prob frustrating when you've said and typed something like how or when to buy and then people message to ask how to buy! I think it's a common thing that 'influencers' get. I would take it as a jokey giving out but I get what you mean. For a new business youd be thrilled at the interest alone (& I'm sure she is!!). Just wait til the returns start coming back

 

[Dailychat]

Oh God the last few drops of stuff on her Try on shop is desperate, like really really bad.
I know she can't compete with Vanity Fair but lads, this stuff is dire. Clown dungarees .
Nessa please get back on track to the lovely bits you used to do, this stock drop is awful.

 

[JillZarin]

I unfollowed ages ago but a reel was shared by someone else that i follow and by God, the clothes are HORRIFIC

 

[Tallgirl]

I think she's an odd fish. She was talking about how she got married just ran off, then the black wedding dress. I remember her at Chritmas saying she does not celebrate it at all. No tree no decorations. I always think when she's trying on clothes she's like a builder walking up to the mirror

 

[Astral]

I really like Nessa and wish her the best for the future.
She showed a lot of kindness and seemed to see the best in people.
