Community Threads | Marlow

I’ve been buying from Toast for years and love the clothes. It is a joy going in to the Marlow shop and I can’t praise their people highly enough. Apart from being friendly, helpful and honest (a highly valued quality) they salvaged a much loved pale green linen dress for me. The dress had split on both sides of the top and Bee knew it could be repaired – the dress disappeared for a few weeks and was returned to me, no charge, all patched and fixed with lovely stitching. I am so thrilled to have my favourite dress back even (dare I say?) enhanced. Toast alone makes it worth a trip to Marlow.

The team at Marlow are all lovely, so friendly and welcoming. Nothing is too much trouble. They know their stock so well and are really helpful at suggesting items which work well together. I’m often inspired by something they have chosen to wear themselves. A trip into the store is always accompanied by a lovely chat and I leave feeling happy even if I haven’t bought anything! J

Whenever I travel to the southeast, I make a beeline for the Toast shop in Marlow. Me and my two labradors are always made to feel welcome and the ladies are so friendly. I live in North Devon, far from a Toast shop, so it really is a special treat to come visit you guys and get to see the latest clothes. Lovely to see you all dressed in your favourite outfits and hear of your interests.

Marlow is lovely, and I go there to visit the Toast shop . Always a pleasure, the staff are so friendly and helpful. I find seeing the clothes in real life makes me wish I were richer ! The quality and textures are what is lacking via the photos, so much nicer to see them for real .

Love the ladies in the Marlow shop, so helpful and friendly, nothing is too much trouble. I am so happy that there is a local (to me) Toast store and usually end up leaving with something. I enjoyed hearing their stories and seeing the styling.

Absolutely love popping into the Marlow store. The ladies are always welcoming and very good with suggesting outfits. Really well-styled in the article, might have to visit the store to take a look at a few more items 🙂

I live nowhere near Marlowe, but I would now pop in to Toast if I was nearby after meeting its lovely staff. As another contributor has said, it’s really interesting to see the clothes on someone else, prompting me to think, that might look ok on me too. I changed my mind about the Botanical Shadow print dress after seeing it on Louisa in this Threads article. It really suits her. I’ll definitely seek it out in my nearest shop.

It’s such a lovely idea ‘ Community Threads’! Staff who spend so much time with the Toast stock and witness its changes through season after season are the perfect voices to which we should give an ear. Toast staff are invariably lovely generous people. As they come in all shapes and sizes it’s a great way to draw inspiration for customers to discern what would/ wouldn’t suit the, based on likeness to colouring, body shape, size, type of staff members.

I love visiting the Marlow shop. Always a warm welcome and a chat as well as lots of help with finding something I can’t live without! I generally leave with a smile on my face and a Toast carrier bag in my hand.

What gorgeous ladies and beautiful outfits. So good to see real people in their lovely clothing choices and interesting to hear their stories. It makes you look at the clothes differently and think – hmm maybe I could wear that too! Can we keep having staff seasonal picks?

The team in Marlow are kind and helpful. I love a popping into Toast. It’s not always my style but then again I always find something! I love your interior pieces too.

A lovely team! Always so helpful.. nothing is too much trouble! Sadly for my bank account I always leave with something!’

Lovely team and beautiful shop – a real asset to Marlow.
