Nice cheap clothes. A step above Penneys as in you can actually look good in the clothes.

It's a shame the amount of empty units in the TK Maxx centre. When you look at the old Matthews Centre & Academy St Centre & the Dunnes development you'd wonder who was going to locate in all these retail units. That was before any recession kicked in!
There's not enough shoppers in Cork to warrant all these extra retail spaces on top of the traditional high street. There's more demand for a multi-storey car park than anything else!

Cant forget about Blackpool where there is loads of retail space available!

Cheap looking and very poor quality.

Cheap looking agreed, but the quality of some of the jeans is as good if not better than the up market chains... And what with the "recessh" and all....

Yeah the H&M stores I have been in in the UK seem to be so much better than what's on offer in the Limerick store, like the clothes and quality seem to differ quite a bit. I was always a fan of it while I lived in the UK but not so much here.

Sure H&M quality is nicer than Penney's but also the prices are higher.

lovemypinkhat

If it does end up coming to Cork, it better be slightly better than that shocking Limerick store. I've given up trying Irish H&Ms because they only get the utter crap stock. Give me Berlin or Stockholm with one on every corner, each one stocking completely different stuff to the last. Woop woo!

That'll be the problem, a bit like FCUK - we'll never get the good stuff - or more importantly the good cheap stuff

they do make some really good stuff though - especially if your in any kind of half decent shape


But i still think you can't beat outlets on the Continent, the likes that have out of season D&G and the likes - especially for presents - well worth saving up for if your more into cities then resorts when it comes to holidays




Remember Nothing says I love you like a pair of Gucci sunglasses

especially when they've been discounted to around €80

thats pretty much what i brother does. Goes to the US one every 1 year/year and half and buys huge amounts of clothes in all the outlets malls over there. Its worth it too cuz the guys clothes over here are fairly crap and expensive.

H & M are definitely coming to Cork. They'll be based in the new Academy Street development (along with Topman/shop). They have applied for planning permission to modify their unit in the new development.

FYI
H&M are going into the Academy Street development. They are taking the first unit at the Crawford Gallery end of the Street....i.e. opposite Meadows and Byrne.

They are originally a French chain of clothes shops. They do female, male and kids clothing. Been 2 one of them n Nice and Paris before and they have several levels, cool out. If they were comin 2 Cork,theyd either be setting up shop n that new shopping centre thats being built on Patrick St (where Dunnes used to be) or maybe further up beyond Debenhams.Like, theyre a big store so they wouldnt be relegated 2 some back arse of a street.

Bill-e

Do they have real man clothes or is it all that skinny boy fashionable sh!te?

I need something to fit my girth

MunsterCycling

Skinny boi sh!te as you call it mainly.

Most likely will have back water selection of clothes here same as Limerick as the Paris H&Ms have every selection known to Man & more to the point Woman!
