Her old man might be Saint Bob but young Peaches Geldof is a forgetful devil.
The Boomtown Brat caused chaos by walking out of an expensive designer clothes shop with a $500 dress tucked under her arm – without handing over a penny.
She popped into Victim fashion boutique on London’s trendy Carnaby Street to check out their threads on Thursday night. After introducing herself to the designer, she said she’d be back later then walked out with more than just a business card.
Designer Mei Hui Liu said: “We were really busy preparing for an important fashion show and the shop was a bit of a mess. Peaches introduced herself and said she thought my designs were really pretty. She took a business card and walked out. That’s when we realised one of the dresses was gone. But when we looked outside Peaches had gone too. It was quite upsetting because I have been working really hard for weeks preparing for the show and she just walked out with one of the best pieces.”
The dress in question was a cream one-off vintage silk design and was earmarked to take pride of place at an upcoming fashion show.
After several frantic calls they managed to get hold of Peaches’ agent to ask what had happened to the dress and get an explanation. Sure enough, she then returned with her tail between her legs, explaining she had picked the dress up by mistake because it was the same colour as her scarf.
When she brought the dress back the next day it had the label ripped out. But to make up for the misunderstanding, generous Peaches decided to keep it and paid up.
A similar thing happened in 2006. A security guard thought Peaches was about to walk out of an Urban Outfitters store in London without paying for a coat.
So Peaches, for future reference, the normal process of buying clothes involves handing over money BEFORE you leave with them.
