It is claimed that Peaches Geldof left a trendy London boutique without paying for a designer dress.

Security guards were informed that the 18-year-old had supposedly walked out of the Victim Fashion store near Carnaby Street with a silk dress.

The boutique manager only noticed the cream dress was missing after Peaches had browsed the rails on the Thursday evening.  A complaint was made to the teenagers agent and a couple of hours later, Peaches returned the dress to the shop and apologised.  Peaches claims it was a “misunderstanding” and so the police were not called.

The manager said “She said sorry and that it was a misunderstanding, but the dress is ruined.  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.  The agents assistant on Friday afternoon with the money for the dress.  The dress is worth £500 but we charged £250.

Peaches was reportedly nearby filming when she rang the doorbell for entry around 5.30pm.  The manager added ” 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 a private car.”

In a statement from Insanity Talent Management, who manage Peaches, they said “The claim is totally incorrect.  Peaches has a receipt for the supposedly stolen dress.  It was an honest mistake at the time and Peaches went back to the store having been told the dress was missing.  The payment was made today because the stores credit card machine was not working yesterday.  She most definitely has not been shoplifting and nothing has been reported to the police.

In October 2006, there was a similar incident when Peaches was accused of shoplifting a coat but was allowed to leave after paying for the item.
