Good clothing shops/ malls in Helsinki?

[nikhilkalantre]

Are there any shops/ malls in Helsinki from where you can buy good cloths in reasonable rate?

Any shops such as Primark, Sports Direct (UK) available in Helsinki or in Finland?

[Pursuivant]

Go to Itäkeskus, they have it all...

Any shops such as Primark, Sports Direct (UK) ...

You mean the ones that hire staff exclusively on zero-hour contracts at the minimum wage and import all their stuff from countries where adults and children are working in conditions that would be illegal here...

You can get excellent secondhand stuff from FIDA, UFF and places like that. The quality is better than most *new* stuff on the shelves in malls and the prices are better too.

Primark and Sports Direct are not here.

Surely you cannot combine the concept of "good clothes" with either of those two chains? I think a lot of their stuff won't even be worth putting through the washing machine since it's so cheaply made that it falls apart before being dirty enough to wash.
I'd rather go to Germany and get something well made that will last.

Oh, I don't know, I have expensive designer stuff and Penneys stuff too (Irish version of Primark), and I find that it lasts well enough, as I tend to wash my clothing on cool, short cycles as nowadays people are not really "dirty" per say as they once were....... Notwithstanding the grief I'm getting from S.O. Telling me about "studies" and investigations which have been done showing you need to wash at 60c to get the grease from your body off clothes...... I'm getting heartily sick of this Finnish obsession with reading studies which supposedly show the best way to do something and then doggedly doing it that exact way because it is "right"........

Obviously bed linen and towels etc. are different.

Your SO should go to japan and try to find the temperature setting on the washing machines. There is no temperature setting since they wash their clothes in cold water. The detergents are not the same as European ones though since they are explicitly designed for use with cold water.
