Primark's 'beautiful' £60 coat sparks debate over its 'steep price tag'

Primark, a high street favourite for budget-friendly fashion, has seen a surge in shoppers as they stock up on cold-weather essentials like gloves, scarves and jumpers. A major item on everyone's list is a 'big coat'.

One 'big coat' has sparked debate among Primark fans. The retailer's brown longline coat from the Edit Collection, despite being hailed as 'beautiful', has left some customers unsure over its 'steep price tag'.

Costing £60, the coat stands as one of the priciest coats in Primark's, according to current listings. It is made up of 52% wool blend and is marketed as "a polished way to keep warm" during the chilly months.

The coat quickly turned into a hot topic on TikTok, where shoppers showcased finding it and making their views known. While one shopper praised it, saying: "Love this one! Looks so good", another had mixed feelings, and said: "It's beautiful but NOT for £60!"

The discussion went beyond aesthetics to value for money, with one commenter pointing out: "Why do people think paying £60 for 'just a Primark coat' is ridiculous? Forget the brand and pay for the quality! I paid more for an awful quality coat from Zara that has bobbled and looks horrendous."

In a report by the Mirror, the coat's description reads: "It's made from a mixed wool blend that seeks to envelop you in sumptuous warmth and cosy comfort, while delivering what The Edit range promises to offer - premium fabrics, high quality and timeless style. The longline coat benefits from peak lapels, long sleeves and a concealed popper fastening, while the relaxed silhouette is designed to be effortlessly layered over a selection of layers that can include anything from a chic shirt or even a blazer."
