River Island

LOVE LOVE LOVE River Island, amaizing clothes although can be a little expensive for what they are, other than that sales assistants are friendly and helpful. I like to shop here 99% of the time.

River island offers great fashion at high street prices. I wouldn’t shop here for basics like t-​shirts etc (as I tend to think that River Island is fairly over priced). But for jeans and jumpers I would definitely head here on a shopping trip! The selection from here are is quite extensive! I was given a bag for work as a present about 2 months ago, and I absolutely love it! I don’t got anywhere without it; it’s a great size for work and its very fashionable. It’s a really individual design and everybody. However, the sides of the pockets are already starting to fray slightly, and the colour on the strap is fading! Now I know I do use it a lot, but for it to have a shelf life of only 2 months for the price it was (around £60) isn’t great!
I think it’s a nice modern shop, which is always ahead of the trends. However, I wouldn’t shop here very often.

big changes there was a time when this shop was really out dated and my mum bought all her clothes here. there have been some big changes. they have now updated to a larger store in the new part of the arndale centre. they cover mens and womens and are quite update with their fashion although some of it is a bit over the top and expensive they cater for mainly teenage upwards fashion as some of the clothes are quite young. they have a good shoe section and the whole store is quite good ofr sales. the men department is very good to.

I love this River Island– it’s huge and they have so many beautiful clothes! The ground floor is menswear and the first and second floor are womens clothing, shoes and accessories. On the second floor there are lots of bags and a large range of jewellery.
I really like River island clothes– they look great and are always up to date in cool colours for whatever the season is. Their clothes also last really well and wash well too. The only downside is that they can be quite expensive especially the shoes I’ve found. I tend to shop here for special occassions like nights out etc.

Aside from their jeans, I’ve loved every item I’ve bought from River Island. They’ve lasted and worn well. Great range of party/​clubbing outfits and dresses throughout the year, and bang on trend. The new store’s well laid out and easily accessable even when busy and I like the upper floor with nightwear and undies which feels intimate.
The sales staff are helpful and if you’re a bit lost or pushed for time they’re happy to point out key pieces and put together an outfit for you to try on that isn’t going to blow your entire pay cheque!

As someone who is not a size 12 I find this store a bit frustrating sometimes as, although some of their lines go up to larger sizes, quite a few dont which is very annoying! I do like the store itself, it is set over three floors, they sell mens clothes and have a whole floor dedicated to shoes and handbags! My personal idea of heaven! Their prices vary, somethings are expensive and others are bargains, so you just have to choose carefully! Their lines are updated constantly to meet the latest trends and things which are in the height of fashion.

I had to take back some boots here and they were very helpful — swapping them straight away. All the sales assistants were really nice and didnt make me feel like a criminal for not liking something which is how I feel in some other places!
The shop is nicely set out with plenty of space to move around. Items are placed at all levels so you are always looking at something. There is plenty of room for wheelchairs and buggies to move around in.
The changing rooms are quite small and i kept banging into the door as i was trying to peel off my skinny jeans! haha but that’s me just being clumsy probably.
There are two levels up top is nightwear, accessories and shoes and below is everything else.
They have a good range of clothes and lots of them.
I was very pleased with the refund policy and the treatment by the sales staff and will definitely be shopping there again.

if you are a student you can get 10 percent off in here. You can also get store cards which save money and have all sorts of offers on. Great sales when they are on, things are hung up well not thrown on floor
