I am writing to express my deep disappointment regarding both the quality of a pair of CELINE sunglasses I recently purchased and the unacceptable customer service I received at your New Bond Street flagship boutique.
As a loyal customer, I chose to invest in a luxury product because I expected exceptional craftsmanship and an equally exceptional after-sales experience. Unfortunately, my experience has fallen far below the standards I associate with a prestigious fashion house such as CELINE.
The sunglasses I purchased are simply not comfortable to wear. They are excessively wide and do not fit my face securely, making them impractical despite their premium price. Seeking professional advice, I visited your New Bond Street flagship store in the hope that your team could assist with an adjustment or offer a suitable solution.
Instead, I was told by a sales associate, "There is nothing wrong with the sunglasses. They are just too loose for your face. You need to take them to an optician to fix them."
I found this response both dismissive and unacceptable. I did not visit a luxury boutique expecting to be redirected elsewhere to resolve an issue with a product I had purchased from CELINE. After spending a significant amount of money, I expected your team to take ownership of the situation, provide assistance, or at the very least offer a genuine attempt to help.
Being told to seek help from a third party without any effort from your staff reflects a serious lack of customer care. This is not the level of service one expects from a world-renowned luxury brand. It left me feeling undervalued as a customer and extremely disappointed.
This has, without question, been the worst customer service experience I have ever encountered from a high-end fashion house. Luxury is not defined solely by the products it sells, but by the service and care offered long after a purchase has been made. Sadly, CELINE failed to deliver on both.
I would appreciate a prompt response explaining how you intend to resolve this matter. I sincerely hope this experience is not representative of CELINE's customer service standards and that appropriate steps will be taken to restore my confidence in your brand.
