Clothing purchases in the UK have risen since the Corona pandemic last year, when it was limited to three lock-downs and stay at homes with Sop’s.
In April, the rate was more than 70% – while the purchase of label items was recorded at 9.2%, which is twice as much as experts expect and the rate is even higher than the previous level of the pandemic situation.
The Bank of England expects an increase in purchases from citizens as savings increase during the lock-down.
According to the central bank, the UK economy could grow 7.2% this year from a deficit of 10% in 2020. However, some retailers and department stores have not been able to bear the impact of the Corona outbreak and have been forced to close. Britain’s famous Debenum store is gone after 240 years.
According to experts, the purchase of clothes will be swift and buyers will be attracted to other areas and necessities of life.
