As well as having a coffee<\/a>, getting your brows done and browsing all the latest trends, Primark<\/a> shoppers will now be able to do even more when visiting a store.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s because the retailer is launching a brand new service in its Manchester Market Street shop, one that’s been hailed as a ‘luxury’. <\/p>\n

Customers in Manchester<\/a> will now be able to book a same-day appointment to have their clothes repaired or altered in store, in partnership with The Seam, a company that offers care and repair for clothing<\/a>, footwear and bags.<\/p>\n

Bookings for the service will be available online via Eventbrite (although walk-ins are allowed) and when you arrive for your appointment, you\u2019ll meet with staff, discuss your item and leave it for them to work on.<\/p>\n

Depending on the work needed on the garment, this could take 20 to 30 minutes, or you can arrange to collect it later in the day if longer is needed.<\/p>\n

Prices for repairs and alterations start from \u00a33 and range to \u00a310 for simple services, with Primark subsidising the cost to make the service more affordable.<\/p>\n

But there is a catch.<\/p>\n

The partnership with The Seam is only currently available in the Manchester store and only for a limited time, as part of a trial to see how customers react.<\/p>\n

Shoppers will be able to access the repair service on the lower ground floor of the store every Friday, from now until December 19.<\/p>\n

Primark product longevity lead, Vicki Swain, said: \u2018We want to make simple clothing repairs and alterations easier to access and more affordable for our customers and we\u2019re excited to see what this partnership with The Seam will bring to local shoppers in Manchester.<\/p>\n

\u2018Simple repairs are a great way to make clothes longer lasting and we know there\u2019s growing demand for it.<\/p>\n

\u2018We are looking forward to the response in our Manchester Market Street store and seeing its potential as an important fixture on the high street<\/a>.\u2019<\/p>\n

Layla Sargent, the founder of The Seam, told TheIndustry.Fashion<\/a>: ‘By subsidising repairs, Primark is making it possible for everyday shoppers to access what has too often been seen as a luxury.’<\/p>\n
