Beadesaurus has two sites in Brum with this one being the original. It definitely has more of the…read morebeads going on here, although this has shrunk over time to make way for the masses and range of lounge fly wallets and bags. If you are a bit younger, more goth and teenage then this is the shop you are most likely to be spotted in. I am however a little sad that they don't have the range and diversity of jewellery making wares like they used to, i completely understand how bags and purses have a higher price point for making money and staying around for as long as they have. If you get passed some of the more teenage, rock wares and don't get intimidated by it's youthfulness then you will undoubtedly find a bit of treasure here.

To be honest, I have no idea about how to start reviewing this shop because there are so many good…read morethings to highlight on it. Beadesaurus is unique because they have a range of t-shirts, bags and accessories that are not found easily in other shops in Birmingham. They certainly attract a diverse kind of public. While their collection of Hello Kitty bags and accessories seems to be made for teens, their bandannas, gloves and some dresses can be the option to rockabilly fans. Beadesaurus is the kind of shop for people who look for the different without shocking. I like their baby accessories and some of their tote bags are really stylish. There are two options of Beadesaurus to visit. This one at Oasis Store has some options of bags on sales that are impossible to miss. I particularly prefer the other shop at Piccadilly Arcade because the decor is more attractive and their variety of jewellery is something to highlight as well.

The customer service is amazing people are so friendly. A small store with so much potential. Would recommed girly girlys to go have a look they have some girly bead cheaply priced which dosent look cheap at all. Nice gifts and so much more inside that what you would expect to see. Please go have a look you will be surprised, also have a look at the cheap stud earrings.

Price is fantastic with everything really affordable and all items are well made. The staff are also great they are really enthusiatic and helpful. If they dont have something in stock tey will let you know whether they can order it in for you or, if not, where you may be able to get what you are looking for. As a teenager i spent many a hour after school browsing the tiny packed shop. The shop is small and packed to the rafters so not really suitable if you have disabilitiies.

WHOAAAA MAMA!!! This Primark location in Birmingham was the BIGGEST one I went to while visiting…read morethe UK! If I recall correctly, it has 5 levels, and there's even a Disney Cafe, Polaroid Selfie Studio, and I think I saw a nail studio for the ladies. With all that being said, it represents the country's 2nd largest city very well (next to #1 London)! This area of Birmingham is super busy, with a lot of hustling and bustling, just like you'd see in NYC (which is on my bucket list, btw). The prices at Primark are super generous compared to US prices. It's compared to Old Navy, but to me, I think it's more reminiscent of H&M. I found some good loot at all of the locations I went to, but this one will always stand out to me. It's insanely busy on weekends, especially during the holidays, but the staff works hard to keep the lines moving. I do wish customers wouldn't be so rude and make an effort to put back whatever they pick up. I saw a lot of dropped items on the ground, lots of clothing and accessories and even picked up a few to put back. The workers do their best to fold the clothes and make them look presentable, but I feel bad that people rummage through and just toss them wherever (at least make an attempt, sheesh!). You may not want to come during busy season, which is weekends during the holidays. It's a hot mess and you might lose your party along the way if you separate, but if you like the deals here and don't mind fighting crowds, come shop til you drop! I hope to return again one day! =)

I have purchased a few scarves and bags for various fancy dress outfits that I have worn to parties. The staff are quite friendly inside and have been helpful when I have been looking for something in particular. The store is in a bit of a jumble and I have found it hard to locate items on some occasions, however I always eventually find what I need. They also keep quite a lot of stock in boxes outside the front of the store, so I have often spent time rooting around trying to find stuff. I do not like this aspect of the store; I would prefer it all to be easy to find and well organised. It is a great store, but it is a bit disorganised.

If you are in need of some cheap tat as a present, for a project or require something for a fancy dress outfit then you will no doubt find it here. Who needs expensive fancy dress shops or paying for shipping off a website when you can buy inflatable props from here? Love it, a great little shop full of things to mooch in and to spend money on stuff you either didn't know you needed or had forgotten you needed as you never spot it in the supermarket.

It is generally always full of teenage girls in groups so it can sometimes be hard to see what you want as they stand in the way.

The area where you pay is small and sometimes it's difficult to attract the attention of one of the shop girls to pay. There are too many products on the surface by the till.
