It is shocking the shoddy quality of clothing that is being fobbed off on the South African purchaser by Mr Price. Mr Price's clothing has always been reasonably priced, but it used to be of a reasonable quality. My daughter is purchasing a new working wardrobe as she is starting work. We shopped at three Mr Price stores and she must have tried on at least 25-30 outfits in total. Of these, we only purchased four. The reason we did not purchase the rest of the outfits was not because she didn't like them from a style point of view, but simply because of the shoddy quality of both the fabrics and the sewing. Ragged hems, bulging and puckered seams, hems and waistlines differing in length from one side to the other, etc, etc. I took a particularly bad top to show the manager at the Westwood branch, and his response was that it was cheap, so what could I expect. I showed it to other customers who were also shocked at how poorly sewn it was. This is not acceptable! You can buy cheap clothing elsewhere that is much better quality. Mr Price is just fobbing rubbish off on the South Arican consumer.
