Maplesstitches Recensioni 

I feel stupid that I fell for this scam .
I ordered a bag which took weeks not days to arrive and it has a cheap looking print of 3 Labradors on the fabric , most certainly not handmade and quilted .

I’ve just received a bag which is nothing like the picture on Maples Stitches. I must say, they come across as very professional until you receive the item you ordered. Think I’ve been duped and they meant to say they’re made in Shang Hai not Hay on Wye.

Unfortunately, like the other reviews, the item was not as described. Not hand made, not made in UK by a lady sitting above a book shop in Hay on Wye. So very disappointed. However, I requested a refund and it has been paid today. Definitely a scam.

Wish I'd read these reviews before I'd made a purchase, I wouldn't have bothered. Like everyone else I bought these bags in good faith, thinking it was UK made, nice quilted bags with a difference which really appealed but sadly what came what nothing short of false advertising, something you'd pick up from a market for under a tenner. They are printed on plastic with a black plastic zipped liner the sort of thing you'd have for emergencies but not something you'd want to use for going out to show them off. I've emailed them including photos, they emailed back saying they had switched suppliers and were having teething problems and they would get back to me, I've asked for a full refund and contacted my bank to raise a dispute we'll see how this all goes. I actually feel angry that this is what shopping is like now, you can't trust anyone and have to spend an age trying to check, get reviews and even then some are fake. What has the world come to!

I was, sadly, taken in by the persuasive wording of their Maple Stitches.com website and paid, what I now know as an exorbitant amount for this bag. It did arrive, much to my suprise as I had rumbled them by this time, and contacted the Maple Stitches where they still kept up the pretence of a small company in Hey on Wye. However, it was not quilted nor would it stand up on it's own, it's a lined bag! Don't get taken in like I was. Report them! Don't buy one, it is a SCAM. Cheap imports, company registered in London.

These bags are not quilted, they are not padded, they are made in China, not in a Hay On Wye workroom as it says on the website. Whole shebang is a fraud. Positive reviews track back to fake accounts. The 30 day money back guarantee is fraudulent - 'sale' items are not included and everything on the site is marked 'sale'

Utter rubbish. Claim to be making in Hay-on-wye.
How do they get away with downright cons like this.
Fell for this scam well and truly so I’m annoyed with myself as well. Ordered bag for my friend’s birthday on 2nd July but nothing arrived by the 14th . I now discover it’s coming from China, if at all.
Claim to be making beautiful quilted bags in the UK. Very clever fake page on fb.

This is a scam.. firstly the bags are not as described - not quilted, screen printed and mass produced in a factory. Also if these are made in Hay on Wye then why does my order tracking show as '..awaiting customs clearance' unless i have missed the fact that there is a Hay on Wye in Asia! It's certainly not worth what I paid for it and was going to be used as a gift but its not going to make the grade, a cheap giveaway at best! Avoid this company..

The bag arrived after 3 weeks and was not padded, hand stitched or anything resembling the advert. All contact details are short of detail and impossible to get a reply from. Do not order, what you receive is not as shown.

This is a scam. I have just received the bags ordered. They are printed design without any quilting and are certainly not hand made in Hay on Wye. I am currently trying to get a full refund but looking at previous comments I will be very lucky if I succeed. Avoid this company

This website is a scammer.
Products are made in China, not Hay on Wye and they are not quilted or layered.
I bought several items are they were simply pictures printed on to cheap material!

Definitely not hand-made in Hay on Wye. Said would be delivered within 3-5 days, but took 3 weeks, no surprise as it came from China! Design is similar to the pictures but no hand stiches or padding are included. Avoid. Not worth the bother to complain with faceless scammers, but won't ever buy again from an advert on Facebook (where these merchants now seems to have disappeared from). Credit card refund on its way.

This company is an outrageous scam. Their adverts are misleading and nothing more than a lie.
They claim to sell bags hand crafted in England for a reduced price of £29.95 but what arrives,(eventually), is a very cheap printed bag all the way from China.
Don't be duped.

Poor quality and they are lying about the bags being hand made in the UK.
They are awful.
Cheap and nasty.
AVOID THIS SCAM

I would give 0 stars if I could. The item delivered was nothing like the picture on the website. The item was made in China not Hay on Wye. Website is totally deceptive. Will be reporting to trading standards

Absolute rip off. Quilted and hand crafted my a**!! Nylon shopping bag. DO NOT BUY!!!!

Company appears to be in UK and supplying handcrafted quilted products. The actual item is a cheap textured plastic bag with a printed picture on it. I reported it to Trading Standards. They advised reporting it to the Fraud Office which I did. They won't take any action, just gave advice on how to avoid scams! Do not buy anything from these people, they will not refund your money. If I had wanted a plastic bag I could have got one from the supermarket for 10p.

This company advertises bags that are quilted and hand stitched, neither of these things are true, it's simply a printed picture on a canvas bag. Very disappointing

This is a scam these bags are made and shipped from China. Nothing is as described total misrepresentation. Haven’t received items yet although ordered on 30 June but they are shipped from China! Don’t know how they are getting away with it

Absolutely gutted and disappointed, what a con, how can this still be allowed to continue, why hasn’t trading standards closed them down, how can these AI Chinese scummers still be allowed to deceive and steal our money and not be stopped by our laws and our consumer act. Totally unacceptable and appalling.
