Shoppers will be paying more for their clothes from high street favourite Primark this autumn.
The clothing chain has warned it will have to increase prices across its autumn and winter ranges as the cost of living crisis gripping the UK hits high street fashion. The budget fashion chain has said it will make “selective” rises in the range, having avoided most inflationary pressures until now because global exchange rates fell in its favour, reports the Manchester Evening News.
But Associated British Foods, which alongside Primark owns a number of other well-known brands, including Twinings and Ryvita, is also a major sugar producer. It said the strengthening US dollar and soaring inflation is forcing the changes.
