H&M is much, much bigger than Forever 21. Forever 21 barely exists out side of North America, but H&M can be found everywhere. I mean everywhere. That may be a factor in how cheap they can be - The scale of the business.
- kalleboo 7y agoSounds like the article that part of their demise came from a botched fast international ramp-up. Perhaps they didn't have the expertise (or funds?) to scale up.

- dang 7y agoPlease don't post the same comment multiple times. It lowers the signal-noise ratio.
- aedron 7y agoH&M is the Ikea of clothes.
- mortenjorck 7y agoThis is a good analogy for multiple reasons: Both Ikea and H&M hit a variety of price points and tend to have quality commensurate with them. I’ve bought a $30 dresser at Ikea and $7 T-shirts at H&M, and both were about as durable as you might imagine. I’ve also bought a $200 dresser at Ikea and a $100 coat at H&M, and they’ve held up as well as comparable products twice their price.

- benbristow 7y agoH&M isn't cheap though. £25 for a pair of denim jeans where I can get 3 pairs for the same price in Primark.
- magashna 7y agoThat's crazy. I recall a good pair of Levi's being about $40-50, though I'd have 2 pairs and put them to work for years.
- kyriakos 7y agoIn US, in UK prices range from 70 to 120gbp for a pair of levis jeans.
- benbristow 7y agoLevi's are more expensive because they're branded
- southerndrift 7y agoHave you checked that those were denim jeans at Primark? Last time I checked all of their trousers were made in huge parts out of synthetic yarn.
- benbristow 7y agoThey advertise as genuine denim and I have no reason to believe they aren't.
