Folli Follie

A recent addition to the new St. Enoch centre, Folli Follie is proving to be very popular. The shop is very colourful, everything is displayed clearly with obvious price tags and their jewellery is very unusual. I was ecstatic to see a sale sign in the window as I strolled past the other day and decided to take a wander in to investigate. I found a gorgeous black pebble type pendant with a sterling silver dragonfly set in the middle, it was gorgeous and had a pretty generous chunk off of the original price. I was tempted but to be honest, it looked quite costume jewellery and even though it was beautiful and of great quality, I can’t help but think that I’d find something similar in the accessory section of H&M or Accessorize.
I have to disagree with other reviewers who say there isn’t much choice available here and that it’s geared towards a younger crowd. I think Folli offers a wide variety of products that cater for various different age groups many of which are certainly not for a youngsters, especially with the steep price tags. Many of the items are just a bit of fun but I think they’re really unusual even if they’re not
If you’re looking for something unusual then take a browse around Folli Follie but expect to pay quite a bit for it.

I was very excited to check out the new Folli Follie store in the St Enochs Centre as a friend of mine said the jewelry was funky and unique. I was very disappointed. I would describe it more as tacky and over priced! The style is very young with butterflies, hearts, shoes and lipstick pendants on everything, which I personally think looks a little cheap, except this jewelry isn’t actually cheap at all! The price they expect you to pay for a SILVER PLATED necklace is a bit ridiculous!
I have to say the staff are wonderful though. They have been trained to within an inch of their lives! The store is lovely to browse round as it is bright and spacious. I would buy something from Folli Follie for my teenage sister (if I actually had one!) as a special 16^th birthday gift or something like that. I wouldn’t buy any of this for myself though as I think I have moved on from this kind of jewelry.
I was surprised to see that Folli Follie also sells bags and purses, again though they are too young looking for my personal taste.
If you are a teenage girl with some money to burn, they take a look in Folli Follie, if not I’d give it a miss.

The newly revamped St Enoch’s centre is certainly impressive. Long gone are the days when i would go out my way to avoid the seriously outdated and depressing feel of the shopping mall which used to be Glasgow’s most popular.
Thankfully, the Mall has been given a brand spanking new makeover and the first shop you see when you walk in the shiney new doors is Folli Follie. I was already familiar with the brand as an online store; selling jewellery for men and women, accessories and handbags all emblazoned with the stylish Folli Follie brand name.
The first thing i noticed about the shop in St Enoch’s was how bright, airy and inviting it was. The exterior is brilliant orange and unmissable and inside, glass cabinets and tables are adorned with sparkly co-​ordinating jewels and window boxes displaying the unusual, funky handbags.
The staff were equally shiney and sparkly, not too overbearing, acknowledging me with a smile as i entered and leaving me to have a browse.
I have to be honest and say i prefer the website to the shop, i didn’t see anything in the store that really caught my eye. Perhaps an unfair comparison as obviously the store was not big enough to house all of the Folli Follie range. The jewellery isn’t actually that expensive for a designer make, and is displayed in ranges with fabulous names like Gipsy and Glitz Fever. I particularly liked the Gipsy coin necklace which cost about £87, so it’s definetly a shop best kept for special occasions and gorgeous gifts.
I would reccomend going in and sneaking a peek though, if only to be impressed by how up-​market St Enoch’s Centre is becoming.

Follie Follie is a Greek business which has recently opened a shop in the St Enoch Centre. As well as a gorgeous range of jewellery, they also sell quite a large range of handbags.
You can’t miss the Folli Follie shop as it’s painted a very bright orange! It’s right at the End of the St Enoch Centre, though, and is actually more visible from Argyll Street (just next door to the St Enoch Subway in fact).
Inside, you’ll find yourself looking at a selection of very individual jewellery which is much more aimed at a younger crowd. I would hesitate to describe the range as «classic» but it’s definitely a lot of fun.
Some of my favourite items were dangly saxophone earrings and lovely charm necklaces and bracelets. They also had quite a selection of watches — both male and female.
My only hesitation with this shop is that it is really expensive. Prices start from £70 or £80, even for the bags.
The staff were really friendly though and didn’t seem to mind that I was just browsing. Hmm, how many days till my birthday is it now?!
