Advantages: good clothes, cheap prices, helpful staff

Disadvantages: small staff force means it can be untidy, you will stop paying more for clothes (not sure if this is a dis or not?), you will start complaining at designer prices!

I Love Primark!

There is not really a great deal else to say but I suppose I need to say something?!?!

Well here goes, I come originally from a place called Hull in E.Yorkshire (don’t worry if you

don’t know where that is, noone ever does) and I have never shopped in a Primark unitl I

moved to London two years ago.

It was a revolution! I don’t know if we have these shops up north but we should! They are

amazing, good clothes at extremely low prices.

I have probably spent around a grand in there in two years but I have got the biggest

wardrobe in the history of the world and enough shoes to shadow Imelda Marcos. I love

clothes, I make them myself, I buy second hand and I love to make one offs and Primark is

the place to go for me.

Because the clothes are so cheap I can cut them up, mess about with them and generally

do my own thing without having to worry that I may ruin an expensive item. Of course all

my creations are amazing (ahem) but when it does go wrong you can just give it up and not

have to worry that you have wasted money.

T-shirts generally retail at £3, Skirts with ‘leather’ belts at around £10 and Jeans at around

£10-£15.

I like the accessories especially, they do amazing brooches and hair pieces starting at £1,

good for hoarders like me and brilliant if you have children who like to dress up because

they can wear this stuff to death and it won’t matter.

They also do fantastic underwear and sleepwear, it doesn’t last amazingly well (usually a

pair of pants lasts about 3 months, at two washes a week) but at £1.50 a pair who cares?!?!

The only down side is that I now find myself comparing more expensive shops to Primark. I

live in quite a privileged part of London and walking from designer shops remarking ‘I can

get that for a tenner in Primark’ doesn’t do me many favours!

Also I am starting to annoy people by telling them they could get their clothes at cheaper

prices, which many people do appreciate but not when they are already wearing the product

in question! Especially as Primark do some fab belts, identical to River Islands in everything

but price.

Usually shops sell these chunky belts with massive buckles for around £30 but you can pick

them in Primark with a skirt for around £10 or by themselves for around £5. Absolute

bargain!

Anyone considering a shopping trip anytime soon should pay Primark a visit.

Don’t be put off if at first it seems a little messy or disorganised, they obviously have to

save somewhere and generally all the staff are manning the tills. Have a look around and

you will be amazed.

I have not included mens/childrens wear in this review because I am not familiar with it but

I am sure it is just as good as the women’s wear so please do go and have a look, you

might be pleasantly surprised.
