Reviews

Wonderful Independent. What can I say, just excellent. Shipped quickly, packaged well (utilising reused packaging) with a lovely handwritten thank you note. Fantastic products. Would highly recommend.

JL - April 2024

Fast delivery, well packaged and nice detail. I decided to treat myself to my first Studio Arhoj mug and ordered from Lifestory. There was a 10% off for new customers joining the newsletter. The mug arrived quickly and was very well wrapped. There was also a lovely handwritten note that was a nice touch. I would shop here again.

Shobot - March 2024

I visited Lifestory last week in Edinburgh. It’s a fabulously curated store and the staff are really lovely. I bought the Le Bon Shoppe socks and loved them so much I had to order more!

CR - March 2024

Loved this store Fantastic service thoughtfully packaged and lovely personal touch super selection for every pocket highly recommend thank you

Margeret - February 2024

Great for furniture too. Love shopping in Lifestory - bought a fantastic sofa and footstool recently. We were kept fully informed of the dates of manufacture and delivery by the very friendly and efficient staff. Both items were completed on schedule and delivery arranged with a very efficient company on a date to suit us. The items are fabulous. Thank you Lifestory.
