Is Matalan as good as Primark? On a par with one another?

I'd say matalan slightly better. Primark kids clothes is good for nursery kids. Who cares what happens to it!

Some good reductions and good size availability on men's clothing - e.g lambswool sweaters for £9, leather shoes £20. Thanks op.

Glad to be of help, some items aren't reduced as much but the items that are at the half price mark are better value :smiley:

Utter nonsense
Decent sale, Matalan sells some nice stuff....and there's none of the chavvy rugby scrums you get in Primark
Hot, cheers

The Matalan "Taylor and Wright" suits are superb quality for the money, I have had mine for years now and it still looks and fits wonderfully. I like how their stores are laid out as well, proper changing rooms, much nicer shopping experience than almost any other large clothes retailer IMO.

I think my Hollister t-shirts are about the same quality to be fair. Both bobbled after 3 washes.

Primark far worse than matalan, as soon as you wash it goes to hell

Depends what you mean by worst - if you are going to fling assumptions like that around then explain yourself.
All of the clothes especially the jeans have been top notch and lasted me years - most of Primark stuff is made in Spain not third world as most assume and then denigrate it for!
Learn to be less judgemental , you have probably never even been to Primark and are just talking out of your posterior like many old moaners on here!
Matalna , Primark , Poundtretchers, Home Bargains , B&M the quality is all good for the price - if you feel that bad then go spend £50 on a shirt in Frasers or John Lewis - £5 in Primark is fine for me!

sorry if u hurt ur feelings but the stuff I bought from primark was very poor quality compared to asda matalan tesco sainsburys or similar prices I would have expected similar quality. the stuff was kids jumpers started bobbling within a few says the shoes soles came off within a few weeks yes it was on sale for around 3 quid for the shoes and jumpers for around 5 but the quality shouldn't be so poor. shoes from similar priced shops like wynsors last atlas 3/4 months I'm aware more expensive stuff lasts longer but for kiss who keep growing up quickly it's a bit pointless paying 50/60 quid for a pair of shoes. I don't know if there quality has gone up in last few years as I stopped buying stuff from there unless it was for a new born babies whom don't usually wear stuff more than a few times. ps I don't need buy shirts from fraser for that amount but why is it causing u to lose ur temper do u own primark last time I cheked the label it said made in Bangladesh so not sure if u buy stuff that's especially made for u from Spain.

ok a quick Google and it seems ur the one whose making fake claims most of the stuff is made all over the world including Bangladesh China etc etc doesn't even specifiy Spain here's one qoute for u Where are Primark clothes made?
"Primark is committed to making working conditions safer for those who manufacture its products." Primark's ethics came under fire last year as it was one of the brands that sourced clothing from the Rana Plaza factory in Bangladesh which collapsed in April last year, killing more than 1,100 people.
THIRD shopper finds 'sweatshop cry for help' label sewn into £10 ... also this is from primark website u can be the judge ur self
We work with expert suppliers
Like most retailers, we don’t own the factories that make our products. Instead, we work with around 700 suppliers - from China, India & Bangladesh, to Turkey and Eastern Europe. Most of the factories that make our products make for other retailers and even some luxury brands!

You are actually wasting your time typing all this - all the clothes i wear are Primark and it says MADE IN SPAIN on all of them - obviously all of the clothes are not going to be made in Spain only an idiot would assume that from what i said - do you not understand Engleesh meester and what "most" means!
I could dig out proper research and Watchdog programs that say the exact same thing about M&S , Nike and John Lewis using sweatshops in India - its experience of the clothes that matter and i only shop in Primark and all of the stuff is perfectly fine for me!
Some people will believe anything they find on google its really quite funny!

haha ok if u say so. I am wasting my time with u as u have said yourself u only shop there so u must be a expert on Primark. Primark themselves on there own website state where they purchase from and maybe all the stuff u bought was from Spain. It doesn't matter where it's made as long as its good quality stuff made in India China and the rest of the world can be good quality aswell who said it makes a difference. and sorry I don't understand what u mean by Engleesh meester and ur description of most. sorry Mr grammer police urs ain't much better either.

My order despatched but not yet received (I ordered 9 items, inc 2 new jumpers). That said, I recently paid full price for a lambswool Matalan sweater and I like it a lot. Good quality, soft, warm and much nicer than synthetic materials or cotton. You really can't go wrong for £9!

Sounds good. Yes natural fibres much better, fab price for 100% lambswool. Thanks.

Naw ur are just another idiot so many on social media - keep insulting people its what your kind do so well apart from blowing things up! Perhaps read your last few posts and you will get my point about Engleesh meester perhaps you should have stayed in Pakistan if you feel this way about us Brits!
