Mango

Is there something going on in the High Street? Why can I suddenly afford to shop here?
Okay, so maybe not across the range that Mango has to offer, but a whole world has now opened up due to the dropping of prices — something I’ve also noticed in River Island and Zara. So, cheers all round! Mango oozes sophistication, backed up further by the addition of Miranda Kerr to their range of models. Sizing does favour the European body so be prepared to go up a size. I might sound calm about this but I’m not. But we can all feel this pain together.
Favourite items currently include the popular Miranda Kerr dress for £22.99, suit trousers for £29.99, and a range of light silky tops for around £9.99.
What’s even better than shopping at Mango? Shopping here in the sale. Or, better yet, going to a department store that stocks them and finding a deal that isn’t instore.
Cheeky but hey, you’ve got to take wins when you can.

I guess I love this store because Mango happens to be my favorite exotic fruit (Of course I am supposed to be the exotic Indian). Jokes apart my friends actually call me ‘The Mango Girl’ or whenever my ex boy friend wanted to play safe with a gift he just bought me a mango gift card (And it always worked). I am addicted to this brand and pretty much will ALWAYS find something whenever I walk into this store. Penelope Cruz being the brand ambassador helps as well I guess because I have a girl crush on her!
Their collection is always classy, elegant with a sexy touch to it (You can never look cheap wearing any attire from here). All my coats and leather jackets are from here too and they have lasted me for ages and their denims fit like a dream! They also have a great collection of dresses specially if you hunt properly you might just find that wonder you have been looking for. I am a big fan of their blazers and work collection and you definitely pay for the quality.
Coming to shoes, bags and accessories
Not a big fan of the shoes but definitely love their bags and jewellery. I even got a perfume from there once and was pleasantly surprised. I guess it is evident by now that I am a fan!
Verdict: I LOVE Mango! Dresses, Blazers, Coats, Jeans everything is just ohh so classy and very sexy!

Mango-​the store that I’ve always really liked considering the classy cuts and the very amazing jeans it has. Somehow, the fit is just ‘purrfect’ for me! Though the collection in this one, I would say is a little down compared to the other Mango stores, say the one in London or other countries. The clothes are standard work classics amidst which there would be casual tee’s and of course the denims. The dresses sometimes make you want to buy all of them and sometimes the collection doesn’t move a nerve in you, a very moody store I’d say. Penelope Cruz in the catalogue seems to have attracted me to every piece of clothing wrapped around her! (So, good job Mango, in the excellent marketing!). If you’re looking for some high-​end work wear or some classy dresses/​blazers, you could give this very women-​ish store a chance and experience the high.

I’m really not a fan of Mango. As Emma-​Louise points out, they do a decent range in ‘smart work shizzle’, but so too do many other shops, and they don’t charge Mango prices. Also, a word of warning to any lady with a substantial, er, rack. You’re gonna have to buy the large. I know, I get it, you’re a size 10. Doesn’t matter, you’re gonna have to buy the large. That’s right, unless you’re buying one of their questionable stretchy dresses, Mango clothes don’t seem to like admitting that, sometimes, women have boobs.
In terms of staples, you can get a decent plain jumper/​cardi/​tshirt here, and they’re at the cheaper end. I’ve just always felt like Mango is a little, dare I say it, *old* for me. And, huge bugbear: I walk past, I see awesome stuff in the window, and then when I go in, I hunt high and low and side to side, and cannot find awesome-​window-​stuff anywhere. Of course, I could always, y’know, ask. But that leads me on to my next point.
The staff here are rude. Like really rude. Like, so rude that from now on any Mango purchase I might wish to make will be done online, so I don’t have to put up with the sniffy mean girls who work there, and their questionable store policy. Like, how, m exactly, is it my fault that I brought a sale item back outside the special-​15-​day-​sale-​item-​period, when I was not *told* of said special-​period? Wherever the blame lies (on the staff member who didn’t tell me, and the staff member who got shirty when I explained that they were at fault, not me), that experience was so very computer-​says-​no that I almost cried.
So, good for smart work gear, but not so much for going out clobber, I feel like Mango comes off like a slightly down-​market version of Whistles. But with hella rude staff and a misleading window display.

The mango. That most awkward of fruits, perhaps even more awkward than the pear. Because while, as Eddie Izzard has confirmed, the pear is either rock hard or mush and the period during which it is ripe is so ridiculously short it’s not worth buying them, the mango has a far worse surprise. If you catch a mango when it’s not ripe, it tastes like a raw swede. No joke of a lie. And that’s swede the vegetable, not a Swedish person.
The shop follows suit. Sometimes I go in there and I’m spoilt for choice with tasty treats everywhere I look, sometimes these treats are on sale and far too tempting to resist. Other times I go in, and it’s bereft. Nothing grabs me. And however pretty and lovely Penelope Cruz is, it’s been happening far more since she joined Mango’s ranks.
Still, even when it’s going through one of its moody patches, Mango is still pretty good. You can always find SOMETHING there, even if you’re reduced to the depressing process that is shopping for ‘smart work clothes’. It’s not the cheapest of options on the high street but it’s a nice middle ground, there’s certainly a lot more expensive shops lurking around. And the sales soon put this right, I’ve managed to attain some superb bargains from Mango. Plus, if you’re lucky, they’ll put the boiled sweets out for you to nick while you’re paying for your purchases. Now there’s an incentive.

Mango is a spanish ladies fashion store in the trafford centre in manchester. This store is really nice, and it really does bring a little of the spanish influence over to our shores in the colour and style of the clothing that they sell.
Always loads of crisp white clothes in here too, so if you’re looking for that perfect accompanying pair of trousers then this might well be the place you find them!
Prices are not too bad, probably a little more than other places, but then this is not a massively busy store or a massive chain, so that probably makes sense.

great shop. there are a spanish fashion brand so they ten to do quite long trousers and jeans im a 34 inside leg and they fit me. but they also tend to do the trousers that dont account for slim people having big bums so there cant be an issue with some of the pants. everything is really well priced and they do aome really nice eveningwear that looks a lot more expensive than it is. they also are good with the casual everyday stuff that is a real bargin. ive only ever seen mango for women although i hear there is a mango for men that is being brought out. a really good store for all occassions with out spending a fortune.
