‘Worst decision ever’ shoppers fume as Primark makes MAJOR change to fan favourite item – AND raises the price
PRIMARK shoppers have been left ‘fuming’ after noticing two huge changes to a fan favourite item.
So if you’re a Primark fan, you’ll need to listen up, and brace yourself.
Particularly if you’re a lover of the chain’s stretch cami vest tops, prepare to be stunned.
A Primark shopper named Ina, a mother from London, was left horrified when browsing her local store, when she spotted a major change to the iconic vest tops.
Irritated by the discovery, Ina took to social media to alert others, leaving many open-mouthed.
In a short clip that was shared with the caption ‘I can’t deal anymore’, the fashion fan showed off the chain’s white vest tops.
Alongside crying emojis, she confirmed that not only had the chain increased the price of the cami tops, but they had also removed the adjustable straps too.
The mother cried: “Not Primark increasing the price of their cami tops AND removing the adjustable strap feature.”
The vests, which have a rounded neckline and spaghetti straps, come in a variety of different colours.
Sizes range from an XXS to an XXL, making these perfect for many different body shapes.
The vests can be worn in a multitude of ways – on their own with a tailored pair of trousers and chunky block heels, with leggings and a cardi for snuggling on the sofa, or under knitwear for extra cosiness.
But fans of the iconic vests, which are now £2 each, claimed that they were previously sold for £1.50.
And not only was Ina annoyed by the 50p price hike, but she was also unimpressed with how the altered stretch cotton vests would now fit her large boobs.

Why is Primark the place to go to for bargains?
JUST how does Primark do it? Continue delivering on-trend items at such incredible prices? According to bosses, it's down to four points.
- They “sell a lot of items” – Thanks to that, they are able to make savings by buying in bulk for their 191 UK stores
- They “do very little advertising”
- While their clothes offer the “latest trends”, they “don’t use expensive hangers, tags or labels”.
- And lastly, they try to be “as efficient as possible when transporting products from factories to stores”. This includes things like asking “suppliers to pack our t-shirts so they are ready to go straight on shelf”.
