Super happy with how my pants turned out. They were old and tired and a little bit stained and now they look brand new. R200 to have them dyed. Such a bargain and great service too! Highly recommend.
Abigail Neilson
I highly commend Marlene for her very professional manner in correcting a very bad experience I had at another Harrington’s branch which left a very bad impression on me because even after attempting to “fix” the situation with the relevant branch, nothing was being done. Until I ended up contacting the Belvedere Harringtons and spoke to Marlene who promptly corrected the issue with her professional customer oriented approach. Thank you Marlene, you have restored my faith in your company’s ability to deliver good service and I appreciate your efforts. Trust that your boss will see this an reward you for your excellent work!
