Oh, what to say about & other stories, other than to say that it's a major disappointment.
The brands website is super cool and makes the clothes look fashionable as fashionable can be, the scandinavian minimalism way. But when you visit the actual store, it takes a very different turn. Yes, the design of the store is delicate and trendy, but the quality and the fit of the clothes are way below par.
& other stories is a part of the H&M group, and while the look might be more Cos-like than Monki-like, the quality is more in terms of the latter. There's still the one off piece that stands out, but all in all your better off saving your money. And hey, not supporting H&M is probably a good thing anyways. Sweatshops and all.
The cosmetics / skin care part of the store is not so bad though, worth a visit on its own. read more
