H & M (Shop)

I'm not one for designer clothes - I like to be different and I can't afford it! I haven't got the time to be spending looking for clothes in quirky little shops and charity shops though and as much as I love Camden, I always end up spending too much money and not having bought much! So, what does a girl do?! Well, if you're like me to go to H&M. H&M stands for Hennes and Mauritz or generally known as just Hennes and can be found all over. Long ...
...Oxford Street - now there are at least five between Oxford Circus and Marble Arch! They're also found elsewhere all over the country just to keep people like me feeling at home when visiting friends and family and to make sure you never miss out on a shopping oppertunity! One of the great things about Hennes is it's range of clothes: it has an impressive range of styles, sizes and items. When I say items, yes I do mean trousers and t-shirts, skirts ...

Review of H & M (Shop)

Whatever I'm looking for, for whatever occasion and on whatever budget, I know that I can always find it in H+M. I visit the store nearest to me, which is in Leeds. There are four floors(Yes, four!) of fashion for men, women and children. I generally shop in the women's departments as I am a girl, but there are sub-departments in the store. First of all, my favourite-Accessories. This range caters for every style and taste, all extremely reasonably ...

Their jewellry range is extensive, from plastic bangles to gold-effect earrings and fabulous silver chokers. Also available is a huge range of bags, hats, scarves and gloves from high fashion sophistication to utility and skater-style knittes scarves and gloves. ...

...and other London branches of H & M it is better to go in at a quiet time. I would recommend Sunday as a very good time to shop here, as there are rarely queues then. The most important consideration is the price. The clothes here are up to the minute and cost very little. A pair of trousers and a T-shirt can cost as little as £10 each and sometimes even less. The quality is good too, although I would suggest taking a quick look at seams and finishing ...
...proper treatment is rare. H and M do have a code of conduct about the suppliers they use, and their treatment of their workers. It is published on their website. Information is also available on where H & M stores are, and the ranges that are on offer in the individual stores. Not all stores carry the complete ranges that H & M produce so it is a good idea to check the website, or telephone your local shop for information on their stock. http://www.hennes.co.uk/ ...

Upon walking into the store, I saw it was much like any other GAP wannabe store, all shiny floors and strange looking assistants! Put me off a bit, until that is, I saw the size of the shop. Absolutely huge! Half the store is womanswear and the other half is divided between menswear and childrenswear. (great fun scaring my husband by cooing over the baby clothes) The atmosphere ...

As it was my day off today and also my friend's day off we decided to meet up in town and do our shopping and have a coffee. Living in Coventry, we have just had a small new undercover arcade of shops built and one that has already opened is H&M. Now I don't normally buy myself that many clothes, but am slowly treating myself to some new ones after having 6 years off work to look after my son.

Well move over Chloe Sevigny, you may have a louis Vuitton 1980's revival bum-bag(once naff, now the epitome of trendiness, but only for the next few days, then it will once more be passe)and money to burn, but I, my friends, have H&M.And ...

Review of H & M (Shop)

I have just returned from yet another amazingly successful shopping trip to H&M, and so I thought I would do some research and write an opinion. H&M (or Hennes & Mauritz) was originally opened as Hennes (hers) - a woman's store in Sweden. The aim of cheap, quality high fashion clothing was so successful that the store grew and become the male and female clothing store H&M in 1968. H&M provides clothing and accessories for men, women, teenagers, children ...

The variety of fashionable clothing is incredible! There is smart wear (appropriate for the office), smart-casual wear and the very casual. All are trendy and up-to-the-minute fashion. I love that they put the seperates that compliment each other most on the ...

I discovered H&M while on a shopping trip in London a couple of years ago and because I live in Wales I never managed to go there again. But then they put one in Exeter where I am in university-I was so excited I went there on the opening day, along with the rest of the student population it seems. H&M is one of the cheapest clothing shops around for women,men and children. I cannot comment on the latter because I have never bought any of those ...

I have to say the quality may not be the best around but why pay £20 for a vest in Oasis or Warehouse and seemingly pay extra for a 'hidden support' and a slightly nicer material when you can get the same in H&M for three or four quid? The women's range contains the Big is ...

Review of H & M (Shop)

I came accross H + M in Leeds when they decided to refurbish it all. I'd never really ventured in before as I considered it mainly suitable for the older generation, people who had office jobs etc. Once it had been refurbished it offerend disabled and pram access, obviously a good point. There's an instore lift aswell as esculators and the staff are always ready to help! This meant it came as a suprise to me when I stepped through its doors after ...
...for everyone I found H and M to offer great quality and great value, at only £3.99 for a t-shirt from the teenage section, I was amazed. The t-shirts are of really high quality and they've almost always got new ones in! The mens section is also quite good (I only know this because of my brother!!), they sell trousers and shirts that are suitable for working and going out with your friends. It's a really great smart/casual range. The childrens section ...

Well, I'd like to pretend that I'm too cool and "rock" to obsess about clothes and make up and that girly stuff, but I AM a girl (honest!) and so, ineveitably, I like to look my best, just like most other girlies. And so, where can I get versatile clothing from? This is an important question for me. I dont like to have to trawl through hundreds of different shops, and I like to think my fashion style is quite ecletic. One day, its Military chic, ...

The outside of the shop has large window displays of the goodies inside, and the bright white lights from within glow out ...

( you get the picture) and all very reasonably priced. I find here you can find those original items that you just don't get anywear else. Topshop, Miss Selfridge etc etc, may as well join together to form a giant blur of whatever they want to call it. Hennes offers something a bit alternative ...

There are plenty of original pieces to be found whatever your style. Hennes also offers a wide selection of accessories from belts and bags to jewellery and hair decorations. The items here are comparable in price to claires accessories but in quality to somewhere like accessorize. ...

Review of H & M (Shop)

When I was 12 I was taken to a place in London called Hennes to buy me a dress. I got to look around for about thirty seconds flat and that was it. This was an amazing event. I had been reading Just17 for soooooo long and all the fashion pages had stuff from hennes on them and I was soooooooo upset that they didn't have Hennes in Scotland. When I finally moved to Glasgow in 1998 I heard that they were building a new shopping centre and that they ...
...the connection between the two??? They are the same thing. Hennes is short for Hennes and Mauritz, not, as most people would think, the founders of the store but Hennes means "hers" in Swedish and the the guy that started it up bought some place called Mauritz - confused???? Never mind, forget that! ******THE STATS******** According to the wonderfully informative website H&M was established in 1947 and there are now over 700 stores in 14 countries, ...

H+M – High-priced and meagre? Horrible and mean? Heavenly and marvellous? Ok…just about run out of ideas for that one! What it actually stands for is Hennes and Mauritz – the name of a high street fashion store with a bit of a difference. Their philosophy is “to provide fashion and quality at the best price” which they certainly do. *****The clothes***** H+M stock all kinds of clothes; mens, ladies and childrens. They also sell accessories, underwear ...

In each department you will find an amazingly wide range of clothes, everything from basics like t-shirts, jumpers and trousers at one end of the range to, shall we say, more specialist clothes at the other. If I had to sum up H+M’s ‘type’ of clothes in one word I would have to say fashionable. Nearly everything in their store has the amazing (and really useful) quality that it will fit any occasion – home, work, ...

The store was massive and airy and rails of clothes stretched as far as the eye could see... This may not sound bad but the harsh lights and abundance of clothes was too much to cope with!
