What’s the most expensive fashion item you ever bought?

A £610 6-button double-breasted Cashmere and wool blazer with a peaked label coat by Tim Soar.

Have your ever made smart purchases of ‘cheap’ item that people see and think it is very expensive?

Yeah, I bought a coat from Primark and changed the buttons. My friends thought it was a designer coat for months; people kept on asking me how much my coat cost me and where they could get it from.

Did you ever buy an item that you took home to find out you didn’t like?

It is very rear, but I once travelled to Gambia and I was in this local store were they had lights that made the clothes look extremely good. I bought dozens of South Pole Jeans and when I got home my brother was not impressed with my purchases, as did I. But I was too embarrassed to admit it.
