So I rarely shop eg at high street stores and was only as I was in London the other week for the day, passed Stradavarius as I was sweating like a pig in my shirt (cotton) and grabbed a burgundy t shirt there. So I returned the other size (I got 2) and came away pleasantly surprised with this and a top. The quality is great, super soft and it goes with a bright Oliver Bonas skirt I got this summer:-

So anyway, give them a go!

It is even more annoying that the Stradivarius name has been kidnapped for a store that seems to offer a fair bit of shoddy workmanship . . . . .

You might think it’s shoddy workmanship but the £9.99 burgundy t shirt I bought was well cut, decent weight cotton and hopefully washes well. If it was that bad would young people and as I stated before a woman in her 30s middle class mum buy it?

I like their denim. I've had a pair of Mom? jeans of theirs for several years and they still look like new.
Mid 40's if we are trying to ascertain their target market 😂

Did anyone else read the title and panic that another pandemic was starting 😅 Or was it just me…

I bought a uniqlo-style moon bag from there but the zip didn't run smoothly so it annoyed me. Things don't keep their shape, generally.
Some nice styles though.

It’s owned by the Inditex group that own Zara, Bershka, Massimo Dutti, Oysho etc, so it’s a good brand, ASOS stocks it too

I don't know if that makes it a good brand. I still shop there, but I find Zara quality really bad these days.

I have never seen anything in Zara that I would want to buy.

As an aside, when DD took a gap year between school and university and went for a job there they told her she needed to dye her hair brown as they wouldn't employ anyone with green hair! Neither of us find this a positive attribute in an employer.

I’ve just bought a Zara raincoat. It’s excellent quality for the price.
