I've bought clothes from James Meade for more than twenty years and have rarely been disappointed. I buy several items of winter and summer clothing every year for my husband as well as for me and, in particular, their ladies' Liberty Tana lawn blouses are beautiful.

Recently I wanted to send an item of knitwear as a gift to an elderly friend who lives in a care-home, and when I ‘phoned James Meade about delivery they went out of their way to ensure that a suitable card was enclosed so that the recipient knew who had sent the cardigan to her.

Unlike other reviewers, I have always had exemplary service from James Meade (and their sister company Country Collection) online and by 'phone, and find them to be reliable and easy to deal with. An item I wanted to order last year was out of stock in my size, and they immediately contacted me to apologise, saying that they would let me know when it was back in stock, which they duly did. When it was delivered a card was enclosed offering £10 off my next order plus free p&p because of the delay. Not many other mail order companies do that!
