Topshop Nostalgia

[Restless Native]

I know people will say the quality of Zara has never been great but I've noticed it getting alot worse recently and the prices going up.

It's happening everywhere though. Even your high end designers like chanel are putting up prices but the quality is shite. I couldn't afford a Chanel bag but even if i could I certainly wouldn't be buying a brand new one when the quality is shite

I was looking through emails from years ago. Topshop.com used to update their new stock at dawn every morning between Tuesday and Saturday, so I was laughing about how most of my order confirmation emails would come in at like 6 in the morning.

Hell isn't hot enough for Phillip Green.

What clothing brand nowadays is closest to classic Topshop in terms of style, quality?

Quality - &Other Stories or Cos, but they don't have the style.

In the same way you can get conservation areas & listed buildings, I wish the gov/office of fair trading/whoever had *something* in place to protect British brands? Like so many have been run to ruin by tit VCs or greed - Topshop, Dr Martens now, etc, etc, like these are cultural touch points (especially DM) in our shared history it’s insanity we let things get run to ruin like this?!

What's happened to DMs?

I was looking through emails from years and years ago. Topshop.com used to update their new stock at dawn every morning between Tuesday and Saturday -- I always used to wake up super early to browse before work, so most of my order confirmation emails would come in at like 6 in the morning.

I quite like Uniqlo but they specialise in basics. Topshop was the best for trendy clothes

Quality of them is shite now. Think they outsourced manufacturing to China or something like that. Could be wrong

I miss it so much, I loved going in whenever I was down in London. It had atmosphere too and I'd always see kind of cool looking trendy people shopping in it

Oxford Street is a total dump now tbh, makes me depressed to think about how it was

Thats the thing, cos and other stories are good for basic stuff but it's all pretty bland, nothing bright or colourful usually (and also a lot more expensive) there really is no equivalent is there?

MONKI used to be quite good with loud colours but they haven’t really moved much with their styles and quality is awful now, and very expensive for what it is. I like the quality in cos but another place very expensive these days

I’ve found the quality of & Other Stories to be shocking especially what you pay. Jumpers I’ve had from there have bobbled so quick! Also hate their sizing.

I’m yet to find a brand that captures the vibrancy and fun Topshop did whilst also being fashion forward and not too childish.

Yep I got the famous mock neck jumper and it's awful. Bobbled after 1 wash. No better than Primark
