The owner of Primark said its full-year profits would be higher than previously expected, helped by strong sales of Barbie T-shirts, cargo shorts and boho dresses, as well as price increases.
The company behind the budget clothing chain, Associated British Foods, said cargo shorts, linen blend T-shirts and sliders, as well as boho and paisley dresses and its Moroccan-inspired matching outfits for all the family had all sold well over the summer.
