Peaches Geldof ‘Forgets’ To Pay For Dress

Boomtown Brat Peaches Geldof has been accused of leaving a trendy London boutique without paying for a $1000 dress.
The 18-year-old daughter of Sir Bob was reported to security guards after allegedly walking out with a silk dress from the Victim fashion store near Carnaby Street.
Boutique designer Mei-hui Liu said she noticed that the expensive cream dress had vanished after Peaches was browsing the rails on Thursday evening. The dress was returned two hours later after Liu complained to Peaches management.
Police were not called, after Peaches said that it was a “misunderstanding.” Yep, that’s what they all say.
Miss Liu said: “She came in and said ‘Hi, I’m Peaches.’ I didn’t know who she was and I didn’t care. She asked for my business card and said she would give me a call if she ever needed a dress.
“She was looking through the rails with her back to us and then I saw her wrapping something in her scarf. She took the business card from me, walked away and jumped into her private car.”
A spokesman for Insanity Talent Management said: “The claim is totally incorrect. Peaches has a receipt for the supposed stolen dress.
Yeah, I bet the receipt is for when she paid for it after being called.
“It was an honest mistake at the time and Peaches went back to the store having been told the dress was missing.”
“She said the dress had got caught up in her scarf and because it was the same colour she didn’t realise she had it in her arms.”
Read, after having been caught. So she accidentally wrapped the dress in her scarf, meaning to pay for it the while time? Yeah, that sounds about right.
Peaches management had this to say:
“The payment was made today because the store’s credit card machine was not working yesterday. She most definitely has not been shoplifting and nothing has been reported to the police.”
Right….
This is not the first time Peaches has been accused of making a ‘mistake’. In October 2006 Peaches was stopped at London clothes shop, Urban Outfitters on suspicion of shoplifting a coat. She was allowed to leave after paying for the item.
