FollowThe Flagship H&M store on Bloor St. in Toronto, Canada is a 3 story bargain shopper’s emporium. Almost all merchandise is under $50.00. Basement level is full of trendy up to the minute men’s clothing and the second and third floors are filled to the brim with women’s merchandise. Here is a sample of some great shopping finds: a textured and sequined bubble skirt and a must have, all season fitted gray dress.
On the main floor one will find gloves, scarves, accessories , footwear and purses.
Leather studded gloves were a definite find, but other accessories not as impressive. Some faux leather fringed purses were nice, but we prefer shopping for real leather if possible. It looks nicer and lasts longer. We found long leather gloves that were gorgeous and of good quality. At $59.99 they were one of the more expensive pieces in the store but comparable to simmilar gloves which cost well over $150.00 in other stores.
On the second floor of this shopping destination, were : sweaters, cardigans, sweater dresses in all textures. Mostly in the beige to gray to black color palette. The racks are very full, so one must do a bit of sifting and looking to shop the best cut and style. But most definitely worth the hunt, as all barganistas know! We found a textured, very designer looking puff shouldered sweater dress for $50.00.
Overall, the H&M store on Bloor gets an A in layout and selection of clothing. A for pricing and a B to C for quality of merchandise( choose carefully ). Perfect for shopping everyday pants, sweaters, tops with a few outstanding “building” pieces as above.

i LOVE H&M, i wish we can get topshop here also
I have never had much luck at H&M, I find the quality to be very poor so after a couple of washes the items look really old. I do have to confirm that the prices are great so if you are looking for some trendy, one season wear items, it is the place to shop.
i find H&M is great for casual summer pieces like light cotton skirts or tanks. they don’t do so well with thier more conservative pieces or sweaters/tops. the quality is not great and you have to buy knowing that the pieces will only last thru season, lets face it, these are not high-quality classics! its a great place for young women with a limited budget.
on the plus side, they have decent bikinis and the kylie minogue line of bikins was a lot of fun.
agreed the stuff is poor quality, but its great for basics like t’s and some cute fashion pieces. Hey when you are only paying $50.00 for a piece and it lasts you a season you are Waaay ahead of the pack.
