If the location is right for that group, I suspect they might be contender even in an over-saturated sector. Despite what some of us think about it, inexpensive, trend-driven disposable fashion doesn't seem to have lost its appeal for young women who want to wear something once or twice then move on to something new. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/primark-is-coming#post-1403063 Thu, 27 Nov 2014 17:23:39 +0000 bj1111 1403063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very very poor quality. All the sweater were sooo itchy. Irregular sizing, horrid workmanship. Truly beyond disposable.</p> <p>Apparently I am not a fan. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/primark-is-coming#post-1403059 Thu, 27 Nov 2014 17:05:02 +0000 Laurinda 1403059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Color me grumpy, it sounds like yet another fast fashion <i>quantity over quality</i> shop. See laments about over-consumption in the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-your-feelings-about-black-friday">Black Friday thread</a>. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/primark-is-coming#post-1403053 Thu, 27 Nov 2014 16:27:49 +0000 PalmFronds 1403053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think huge YAH! It's an easy way to try new trends and while I agree with Rute that overall the quality is not very good, there are some surprises there that are great buys. I had hose/tights from them that lasted better than many others I owned abd a cloth duffle bag has made it through multiple trips, washes and throwing about , still getting compliments on it when I travel. But like many less expensive fast fashion stores, lots of polyester and questionable finishing on garments. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/primark-is-coming#post-1403032 Thu, 27 Nov 2014 11:41:00 +0000 rute 1403032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We have Primark here in Portugal, I buy there pijamas and t-shirts to wear to my yoga class, but I find the quality of the clothes very poor </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/primark-is-coming#post-1403021 Thu, 27 Nov 2014 08:27:22 +0000 Mac 1403021@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just learned (probably ages after all of you...) that the first Primark will be opening on this side of the Atlantic: in Boston, where Filene's Basement used to be.&nbsp; </p> <p>What do you guys think?&nbsp; Will this retailer be able to break into the US market?&nbsp; It's having remarkable success in Europe but sometimes things don't "translate" so well on different continents.&nbsp; Curious about your opinions.</p> <p>Let's do a poll, shall we?&nbsp; Will Primark successfully crack the North American Market (or be sent home to Ireland/ UK/ Europe with its figurative tail btwn its legs)?&nbsp; Yay or nay? </p>
