Ulla Popken ist Europas führende Marke für Mode ab Größe 42. Angefangen mit den ersten Geschäften im Jahr 1987 ist Ulla Popken heute in über 16 Ländern vertreten und bietet ein besonders umfangreiches Sortiment. Von Casual Looks über anspruchsvolle und luxuriöse Kollektionen bis hin zu Landhausmode, Sportkollektionen, atemberaubender Wäsche und Anlassmode.
Unser klarer Fokus liegt auf der Qualität unserer Kollektionen, perfekten Schnitten und erstklassiger Verarbeitung – und nicht auf der Größe. Denn wenn wir eine Sache in unserer knapp vierzigjährigen Geschichte gelernt haben, dann diese: keine Frau sucht ein schönes Plus Size Teil zum Anziehen – sie sucht einfach ein schönes Teil zum Anziehen.
Die Themen Körpermaße und Kleidergröße sind nichts, womit sich Frauen heutzutage aufhalten möchten oder aufgehalten werden wollen. Teil des Selbstverständnis ist einfach, dass der eigene Körper nur einem selbst gehört – und keine Projektionsfläche für die Meinungen anderer ist.
Aus diesem Grund haben wir uns von dem Begriff Plus Size Fashion verabschiedet. Weil er neben dem Wort Normalgrößen steht, außerhalb davon. Er bezieht sich darauf und grenzt sich davon ab. Das ist vom Mindset her von gestern und faktisch falsch. Denn knapp 50 %* der Frauen in Deutschland tragen Größe 42 und größer. *Laut Statista: Verteilung der Konfektionsgrößen bei Frauen in Deutschland im Jahr 2012
Natürlich haben wir im dafür einen neuen Begriff im Gepäck. Einen Begriff, der jeden Unterschied neutralisiert und für den die Marke Ulla Popken und unsere Mode ab Größe 42 in Zukunft steht:
Am Waldrand 19, 26180, Rastede, Germany

I use to order from this site since 2020. The quality is not always the same but there is much choices and is always possible to find something nice and good quality. I recommend.
Reply from Ulla Popken
Order arrived exactly as promised. Everything as described. Found cut is very generous so when in doubt check reviews. Many say to order down. Trust them and order down.

Well, I placed my first order with Ulla Popken, and actually most of the blouses are nice with one that is quite a rough cotton fabric and with a smell. I noticed online that one of the blouses was at a lower price, so I called customer service to see if price adjustments are given and was told “no.” Why not, I wonder. Many retailers offer price adjustments. Finally, the rep was rather curt with me. As much as I like the designs on the site, without professional and supportive customer service, why buy.

What truly awful customer service! I ordered three items. The order didn’t go through so I put it through again. Then I got an email confirming that the first order had gone through after all. I immediately phoned and cancelled it. I was told this was no problem. However, there is a pending charge for the full amount of my duplicated order on my credit card. Twice. This is on top of the actual payment which has gone through. So my accounts are showing 3 x payments to the company for one order. The first time I contacted customer services I was told this wasn’t possible and anyway that part of my order had been cancelled. When I went back to customer services and asked them to cancel the pending payments because my bank couldn’t, they refused. I also pointed out that the ‘cancelled’ item had been confirmed as sent and gave them their reference number. Today I’ve got another email, with no apology of any kind and a statement that the items could be slow to be delivered. Yep UP. That’s because you didn’t pay enough postage and now I’ve paid your postage charges directly and now have to pay Royal Mail the outstanding £2.50 to get the clothes. All this while I can’t access £180.95 x 2 so £361.90 on hold on my bank account as pending charges. Shockingly poor standard of customer service.

Edit: I reached the company the next day, and the dress was being shipped out by FEDEX from the factory in Germany. It was received today 6/15.
The workmanship and fabric were very nice and the photos represented the dress very well. With the exception of one frightful day of thinking I reached a scam company, ALL WENT WELL. Thank you.
Old review: ⭐️
Customer Service number doesn’t go through, I just ordered an EXPENSIVE summer dress, found a coupon to reduce the price, THE NUMBER, that is all over the web, does not connect. Just a “cannot be completed, check the number and dial again”
Reply from Ulla Popken
Terrible customer service. Reps give misleading info concerning order status and return options. I do not intend to waste my time ordering from them ever again. Zero stars, would be a more fitting ranking; alas, there is not such option!

WHAT HAPPENED TO ULLA POPKEN? I have a closet full of fabulous cotton knit tunics from Popken in Germany. They're fabulous and I love wearing them for various occasions. BUT, Popken is not the same; the fabrics are cheap, thin and poorly made. In the past year, I have RETURNED every Popken order due to the cheap quality of the fabric. I keep trying, hoping that their clothes might, again, have the same, quality fabrics they used to have. But, once more, I'm returning my order of two cotton knit tunics; the fabric, again, is just terrible. Very sad to see a great company become a cheap imitation of its former self.

The blouse I received didn’t look anything like the picture. Linen?-NO, a cheesy rough t shirt material. Overpriced. Very Disappointed. Doubt I’ll purchase from this company again.
Update: I read customer service’s reply to my review….”I can of course return the item”. This is emblematic of why there is a fundamental and systemic problem with Ulla Popken.
Reply from Ulla Popken
First of all the clothes are exactly what I wanted and I can’t fault them, they are overpriced for what they are the quality is nice but not “that price” nice but I got them on sale and with some money off so I wasn’t too bothered.
Secondly the website needs fixing considering the prices being charged and what it’s supposed to be advertising it’s all a bit mixed up. I selected the category jackets and it just came up with t-shirts and button up shirts and the odd jacket in the mix.
I was a little sceptical at purchasing from them at first but I did anyway and I was annoyed with how long it was taking to arrive not knowing that It was being posted from Germany and I’m in the UK so it did arrive at a reasonable time.
I really do think they should make the quality more price worthy or take the prices down because they don’t match. I will be purchasing from them again but only when there’s a sale on I can deal with those prices.
The plus size stuff is good but I’d say small for the sizing. Size up! Over all I didn’t have a negative experience.
Customer service was ok but the whole process about getting a refund isn’t really fair on the customer ( I thought I wasn’t going to receive my items so i rang to enquire about a refund) if you don’t receive your items they won’t refund you until they receive them Back, if they get lost in the post they said you have to fill a form out before you can receive a refund which I’ve never had to do so that’s a bit weird.

I have ordered an item almost 10 days ago and didn't get any tracking information etc that actually shows me whether they sent my item. The customer service is an unhelpful lot. The worst company I ever had to deal with
Reply from Ulla Popken
This company does not know how to do business, I placed an order on the 21st and that order was not dispatched until from what they say the 26th. When I spoke to customer service I was told that it is because the order was sent but got lost.
However someone wrote to me and said the information I was given by their customer service person was not true. They said the order was not dispatched because one of the items was out of stock. Mind you I have not been informed of any of the items being out of stock until I called their customer service asking about my order.
The next thing they told me is that some of my order was sent to Royal Mail and got given a tracking number however after 5 days there was no movement in Royal Mail except that they have been informed that my parcel has been dispatched and they were expecting it.
I requested many times on our email conversation that I wanted a complaint opened but I was ignored until I explained to them how unprofessional they were. So I’m waiting to see if my complaint will be taken seriously as I was told that it was sent their head office.
The company is a joke better to order via Klana

I placed an order online. When I realized one of the dresses hadn't been accepted for some reason, called right away and asked them to add it to my order, so I don't have to pay an additional shipping fee. They claim the 3 dresses had already been shipped (how? 2 minutes ago?) and if I want the fourth dress, there will be another shipping fee. This company apparently doesn't appreciate a loyal customer, I've been buying from them for years. I am now seeking another company offering plus sizes - who appreciates loyalty and provides excellent customer service. American companies are much easier to resolve issues, this company just doesn't care, I guess they have too many customers. Well, they just lose this one.

I read these reviews shortly after ordering 2 expensive dresses. I was concerned but I had immediate tracking details which followed through until the items arrived within the time stated. The garments are gorgeous & well made. I am returning one as I wanted to compare colours & sizes but so far I am delighted with my purchase.
Just to add-my return was dealt with quickly & efficiently.
Reply from Ulla Popken
An opaque returns policy, written in business jargon. The parcel itself had no return slip giving the address to return the garment and not on the website either. Designed to put people off returning items. I'm currently awaiting info from customer services. And to cap it all, you have to pay even though the clothes are very expensive.
I rang and spoke to Customer Services today Mon 27th. I have upgraded to a 3 because the person I spoke to in Customer Services was very clear and helpful, and immediately did what she said she would do, which was to email me a return slip. I still think though that they shouldn't be charging the customer for returns. No other online retailer I use does this, even the companies whose prices are much cheaper than Ulla Popken. Also the website has some very confusing jargon in the section marked 'Cancellation and Returns.

Super disappointed! I bought ski pants in the sale. Emailed them multiple times where my order is and just received a refund. No email explaining why my money was refunded and the pants are now double the price online ( they are still in stock). I would not trust this company. Recommend going elsewhere. Very disappointing
Reply from Ulla Popken
It's a shame I have to give it one star. The clothes are OK but not great. You can find some nice stuff and some classic tops. I made the mistake of buying some purple boots. One acknowledgement of the actual purchase but no despatch information, anywhere. Nothing on my account, no email. When they eventually arrived they were the wrong colour, quite hideous, kind of blue, green, beige mottled, ugh. I sent an email advising them and asking for a pre-paid label to return them. They then asked me to send photographs. Clearly they thought I was a liar and making up the fact that they aren't the colour of boots I paid for. They have not fulfilled their part of the contract and now they're calling me a liar. So, I will never buy from them again, truly a case of caveat emptor.

I ordered ski pants and was very happy when they arrived only 3 days after ordering them, and I'm in the US. They fit perfect, material feels good, and I can't wait to try them out! It's hard to find fashionable plus-sized clothing and the right fit but these pants checked those boxes for me.
