I've never been there - have no idea what clothes they sell... but everyone seems to be going there... Anyone want to shine a little light onto this?? because I havn't a clue! |

2,772 posts | They've just opened a big one in Leeds. I had a look around, they don't sell a huge variety of clothes, they must buy in bulk or something.
I can see why emos would shop there, the clothes are cheap enough so that when a new fashion comes in that they just *have* to follow, they can afford to buy those clothes too. |

5,464 posts | oh my God, in Belfast, you're not a true citizen if you haven't bought something from Primark, sometimes it's great for a bargain, but most of the times a lotta hoking is required to get something good and generally i can't be annoyed |

7,155 posts | OMG, Primark is the best shop ever!! They have loads dotted around outer London, I always shop there. I am a member of the Primark Posse, its just so brilliant. |

2,772 posts | I like my clothes to last longer than 10 minutes, so I don't shop there. |
| 14-01-2006 20:43 black_ivory | |
7,155 posts | Arguably, the quality isn't always that great, but I've got stuff from there that's lasted a good coupla years, you've just got to have a good eye for it. |

7,155 posts | Ummm...Not to my knowledge, Gary. The nearest I know in the centre of town is Oxford Street, they're meant to be opening one up there. |

7,286 posts | I will take a peek next time im there. |

7,155 posts | I'm not sure that its open just yet, but if you should find yourself in outer London, there's one in Lewisham, Bexleyheath, and Bromley.

15,628 posts | NightShade, I live in Leeds - that shop is the bomb! Haha. Alot (most, infact) of the clothes are at first glance a bit old, or a bit 'townie' (chav-like, whatever) but so many can be worked to make a great outfit if you wear them in your own way. And so cheap! Plus they imitate all the other cooler costume jewellery on the high street, but at about a tenth of the price. And cute knickers for £2 a pair? sorted.
(there's one where I lived in Kilburn Gary, on Kilburn High Road, that's not too far from Wembley.) |

7,286 posts | I go to Bromley and Bexley Heath fair bit because My dad had a house there. I will pay more attention next time lol! |

2,772 posts | lol, well maybe I didn't give it enough of a chance. I tend to stick to shops I *know* are good, I've heard Primark clothes aren't that reliable. I tend to wear out good quality clothes quite quickly, I don't know how really, and since I heard Primark wasn't great quality, I was reluctant to buy anything. |

7,286 posts | But... from clothes - i want them to last... I'm more of a burton and next kinda guy.. at least i get what i pay for.. but i will still give it a whirl. |
| 14-01-2006 21:01 Masterful_Ally | |
15,628 posts | Hmmm...I don't know about reliable. I love my clothes and I get bored of things fast so I tend to buy cheap and quirky, except for staples like jeans etc. I've never really expected a primark skirt or top to last me a years frequent wear or anything.
(Next Men's is complete pants. Talk about blandness.) |
