Pink Cadillac

Eugh, I hate to do this, but Pink Cadillac has been given many chances to redeem itself in my opinion. Pink Cadillac is a clothes and accessories shop, focusing on women’s clothing and all those fun girlie accessories, with lovely designer names attached to them. I first fell in love with Pink Cadillac when I spotted various Paul Frank items grinning at me and begging me to purchase them. Once upon a time there were two Pink Cadillac stores within walking distance of each other in Huddersfield town centre. Now just the Market Walk store remains open, but they are both owned by the same lady.
The shop window is rather enticing, with spangly glitzy watches, fabulous handbags, and boutique style clothing. Walking into Pink Cadillac is a bit of a harrowing experience, the shop floor layout could be better, as if there are more than five people in the shop, and then staff, everything is really overcrowded and bit frustrating.
Speaking of staff… I don’t think I’ve encountered such a solid set of rude staff in my entire retail experience. Bending over at the watch cabinet, one lass actually pushed her way past me and used my back as leverage to get herself through the small gap between displays. Rude much?
They also make a habit of not at all discreetly following you around to make sure you’re not pocketing the goods. Questions anyone? Short, snappy and often unhelpful answers.
The goods? Well there’s been plenty of rumours surrounding the content of the merchandise in this store, but we won’t delve into that, only what I have experienced. I’ve had three t-​shirt/​tops from here that once they saw the inside of my washing machine decided to fray at the seams. None of my other wash items did this, so I took one back to the store, receipt in hand, only to be given a complete dressing down by first the assistant on tills, and then by the owner. Don’t worry she got a gobfull back. She flew off the handle about my inadequacies at washing my own clothes. After about 30 minutes of solid debating, or arguing, the issue was resolved.
Separate occasion, lawd. Went in to buy a gift for a friend. It was a joint gift, so a friend and I went in, picked a cardigan and a t-​shirt, got a receipt, and out we went. The t-​shirt was fine, but the cardigan was bizarrely a duplicate. We went back, cardigan as immaculate as the day it was bought, wanting to return the item, nothing caught our fancy and we decided on a money refund. That’s when the fun started. Out flies the owner blood pressure through the roof stating that in no way was a refund to be given. Pink Cadillac doesn’t do refunds. It’s not legally obliged to do them, so it doesn’t. There’s nothing wrong with the cardigan. Nope it is simply not happening. Response, that I agree, a business isn’t obliged to provide refunds on purchases ONLY IF IT IS CLEARLY STATED WITHIN A REASONABLE DISTANCE FROM THE CUSTOMER AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE. Otherwise that little excuse is void. At the time, there were no signs, and no staff had informed us otherwise. Cough over the money woman! Another slanging match ensued and eventually I won again. Small calling forth of legal training helped, and I have sworn a solemn oath to God I will never go in that place ever again.

In response to PeeBee’s review of 07-​01-​2009 which appears to be entirely malicious.
I’ve been working for Pink Cadillac for some time now helping them build their website and would like to counter this very unfair review that has been pasted into this and several other business review sites.
Pink Cadillac are close to becoming entirely self-​sufficient with regard to maintaining their website, and thus won’t be needing my services for much longer, also I’ve plenty of other work from a good portfolio of local businesses as clients (more than I need) and so I have no need to or vested interest in promoting Pink Cadillac.
Pink Cadillac are very decent clients, the staff are always very pleasant and were before they knew who I was. It is almost unique and very refreshing to have a client who is so hands-​on and keen to learn how to build their own website, to produce all their own content, including hand-​drawn artwork. Also they don’t use ‘stock’ photos but take the time to photograph the actual product in the shop. (What exactly did the reviewer think was crappy and unprofessional rubbish on the website??). In fact the site has quickly become very popular with hundreds of hits per week without any promotion.
For the reviewer to criticise the owner for their age, be amused when a small local shop closes, throw in a libellous comment about the website at the end and then paste this review into every site they can find just shows their mentality. Clearly this is a crass and vindictive review from someone with a grudge and nothing better to do.
I’m very surprised that these review sites allow this kind of thing. One review site has already responded well and removed the review but interestingly others have offered to remove the offending review, but only if Pink Cadillac signs up to pay them a monthly subscription!

I agree with the other reviews about Pink Cadillac — it used to have some great quality & often quite unusual clothes, but in the last year or so it seems to have gone downhill & has started selling the kind of thing that would look more at home in the market rather than in what used to be a fairly good fashionable clothes shop.
Probably due to the increased amount of cheap clothes, the shop now seems to be full of young teenagers who basically just get in the way in what is a fairly crammed shop anyway, & shriek annoyingly. Not a pleasant shopping experience!

My favourite shop for clothing in Huddersfield though I do feel it has gone a bit downhill recently, they don’t seem to stock as many really nice good quality going out items.
It’s a small shop over two levels and does get very busy I much prefer to go on a friday afternoon rather than a saturday as you can actually take your time and look at the clothes in peace!
Prices vary from the very cheap (which didn’t used to be the case) to quite expensive. I like the fact that they now do cheap and interesting t shirts for around £4, i think this is to compete with places like Primark, though cheap they are decent quality with nice design details.
They do some nice accessories at reasonable prices too, i seem to come away with more of these than the clothing whenever I go in!
The owner is known for being a bit snotty with customers though, but she’s always been nice with me but then again I do spend my money in there!

Pink Cadillac sells womens clothes. There are very original and fashionable. Prices vary. Some products are very expenisve and others surprisingly cheap. You can buy there some jewellery and other accessories, such as bags, belts, scarves. Nice place, highly recommended.

This shop sells only girls fashion, and the look like they are very serious about it.
Lot’s of interesting (and I mean really interesting) and unique items — from dresses to coats. Sometimes you might be surprised that the stuff you are looking at is not as expensive, as you thought it would be. There is also a lot of jewellery, watches (Swatch, Storm) and other accessories (including toys, figurines and even prints) in store. On the second floor you will mainly find dresses, and that is were the fitting rooms are located.
I am always under the impression that there is much staff in the shop. They are friendly, even a bit flirty sometimes.
Highly recommended.
