Shibumi Style Avis 

I just couldn’t find anything I liked in the shops to wear for a wedding. I found Shibumi online and bought a perfect, midnight blue silk jacket. It is absolutely stunning and was much admired when I wore it. Since then I’ve visited Shibumi’s stand at the Hampton Court flower show and ordered two more pieces which have just arrived. I can’t recommend Shibumi more highly. The staff really know and love their stock, pieces are beautifully made, the materials are sumptuous with that expensive-looking but discreet sheen of high quality silk and clothes arrive carefully wrapped in tissue paper with an email and text to say they have been sent. It’s wonderful to discover a site with clothes that don’t just suit you if you’re tall, young and slim but also flatter those of us who are older and plumper! There is a style to flatter any age or shape.

I was introduced to Shibumi by a friend and I couldn't be more delighted with the purchasing experience or the finished product, a lovely jacket, which I shall take great pleasure in wearing. I can't recommend Shibumi highly enough and I shall certainly shop with them again.

Fantastic clothing. I have ordered 2 long coats, both turned out beautifully. A pure pleasure dealing with this company - all the way from Alpharetta, Georgia! Thank you!

Want to look and feel fabulous and let your inner radiance shine? Buy a Shibumi! Each article of clothing is gorgeously tailored, elegant and refined, the fabric is sublime and unique, and you will feel confident that no one at the party will be wearing the same coat, dress, or dressing gown (depending upon what kind of parties you go to, wink) as you do. But Shibumi clothing is not just for parties… wear them to dash to the market or to work and simply glow. Because Shibumi is not just clothing… it’s an attitude! Thank you, Ruth.

P.S. Shhh… don’t tell my husband, but I’ve just bought my fifth Shibumi piece of clothing.

Wonderful service , had a bespoke Delphine coat made for my son’s wedding , perfect fit , ordered fabric to have a dress made nothing too much trouble . Lots of compliments about the coat .

Great quality, Good service!!
If you are looking for a nice silk coat, THIS is the place!

I bought an Avani raw silk coat for my daughters wedding. As mother of the bride i felt wonderful. No-one else had my look and everyone commented on the wonderful colour, Midnight Blue.
I had walked passed their trade stand at Burleigh Horse Trials for several years wondering when I would have an occasion to justify buying some silk. Even though it was obviously a busy time with plenty of customers, they took their time to make sure i was buying the correct size and had exactly what I wanted. i am just about to wear this lovely coat again to my nieces wedding

What’s not to love. Style, elegance and beauty all in a piece of clothing.

The service and jacket that I had from Shibumi were fantastic. I was looking for something unique and high quality to wear to my youngest daughter's wedding - and I was thrilled to discover Shibumi. When I visited the show room in the Cotswolds, Ruth was very friendly, welcoming, professional and extremely helpful. I was spoiled for choice and surprised at the wide range and variety of designs and beautiful materials to choose from. I was thrilled with the final result and had loads of compliments from everyone at the wedding. Ruth was also very helpful when I ordered extra material to add the finishing touches to my hat and handbag. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Shibumi to everyone as an excellent, first class company.

I love Shibumi - so much that I now have 6 coats/jackets in various colours. I've worn my first Grace coat since I bought it in 2005 and I still get compliments. When I went to the US for a holiday, I had strangers stop me to ask where I'd got my jacket.
The fabrics are beautiful and the colours gorgeous but do listen to Ruth when she tells you which size is right for you. Against her advice I had a Grace made in a larger than recommended size and I've ended up having it taken in because it didn't hang as well as the others. Ruth knows her stuff so don't ignore her!!

Delighted with my coat in dragonfly green which received many compliments when I wrote it to my daughter’s wedding

I absolutely love Shibumi! Have worn coats to both of my sons weddings and felt a million dollars! I was thrilled when they started making dresses & handbags to match! The fabrics are exquisite and their customer service is second to none - they are packed with love! I have told all of my friends about them!

I wanted a gorgeous coat for our daughter’s wedding in April as we didn’t know what the weather would be like. I’m absolutely delighted with the Shibumi coat and can wear it as smart or smart casual. Just fabby, thank you!

I feel I need to balance out some of the very negative reviews I’ve just read about Shibumi. My experience was a pleasure and the girls were fantastic from beginning to end. My beautiful coat was the star of the show on my wedding day and I felt truly fabulous in it all day long in fact I didn’t want to take it off. I had so many compliments about it too. The girls made my coat to order and It had to have a few alterations. This was all done quickly and it arrived looking perfect. My neice is getting married in May and I’ve just bought another coat to wear. It is stunning and I can’t wait to wear it. If you have somewhere stylish that you have to go to and you want to feel and look gorgeous these wonderful coats are so glam you can’t help but look amazing. Thank you so much Shibumi so glad I found you.

My pure cashmere dressing gown started to part at the trim seams and pilled dreadfully. The garment cost £300 and I had worn it for less than an hour per day for about two months. I returned it and received a very prompt and polite reply telling me that I shouldn't have tied it up so tightly, that I should have checked the website and that the care instructions supplied (which they weren't) would have advised me. Finally, as it had been bought 11 months ago it was too old for the problem to be rectified and Shibumi must stick to their Ts & Cs. The Shibumi dressing gown is a beautiful garment, but I advise not meant to be worn by ordinary people or on an regular basis.

Shibumi Style is not a company to be trusted. Don’t be fooled by what they say and show you on their Website.
Make sure you do not go for a made-to-measure order. I had an incredible bad experience with mine.
My made-to-measure Hepburn dress was delivered after c 6 weeks with big discrepancies between the measurements taken by Ruth and actual measurements.
Just one example: I’ve paid an extra £150 for the bespoke order and the extra fabric which was supposed to be used to make the dress longer than the standard length. Ruth’s measurement for “Waist to hem at knee” was 30.25-inch (according to the Client Dress Measurement).
However, the actual length was 26-inch (over 13% less than Ruth’s measurement).
This is just one example out of many where the actual measurement was very different from Ruth's measurement. I had to pay £75 to Top Stitch to make many alterations so I can wear my dress. I can't thank Top Stitch enough for the great job they did.
I would've given Shibumi 0 stars if possible.
