I wonder if the Canadian version of Top Shop will be the same? BTW thought the store 21 Again was great - very funky! Not seen it elsewhere tho - is this a chain?

That can only be a good thing although I remember it being on par with the junk dishcloths they pass off as clothing in the likes of American Eagle and Old Navy over here.

I get everyone who visits to bring me over the plain indigo jeans, they last forever, fade perfectly & are cut exactly like Levis 505s but at a fraction of the cost.. The business model & third world production base maybe morally bankrupt but the clothing is actually good quality.. If you want one season "fashion" then you get what you pay for, the basic staples (at least for men) are better quality than clothes 10X the price... It's just seen as cool to knock Primark, even though a lot of people shop there they like to pretend they don't... |

I don't recall the U.K. chain selling anything but badly made toot with random nonsense over-printed all over it.. Hardly the Kings Road or South Molton Street..

Re: Topshop
No irony, I was lucky enough to have grown up in London, I used to shop on the King's Road & work on South Molton..
The Kings Road sold cutting edge original design & South Molton sold clothes with a certain (nouveau riche) cache.. River Island sells over-printed "fashion" manufactured in the same factories as Primark clothing but adds a huge premium based solely on a perceived market postion.. Primark sells very cheap (but almost identical) clothing utilising the "pile 'em high" retail model... 4/10 for effort.. |

Did you know that Tesco are now doing a strawberry and clotted cream sandwich. Now that doesn't sound that appetizing but it's that type of dynamic innovation and adventuresome, thinking outside the box if you want, which is sorely missing in Canada.

Why does everybody start wishing that certain chains were available here in Canada?

After 13 years of living here, I have seen plenty of Canadian clothes. Did you know that the UK Top Shop website also delivers to Canada?
