People have praised the ‘super handy’ item that is going to be a lifesaver over the summer months
Primark is selling a cheap and practical item that will be an essential for anyone attending outdoor summer events. If the weather takes a typical British turn and sunshine becomes a downpour, you’ll be grateful.
Posting on TikTok, user Georgie (@_georgiewillis) showed the cheap £2 item that was filling a whole section of Primark. The Water Resistant Raincoat was labelled with a £2 price tag and shoppers could pick from a clear or pink version.
Georgie posted that these affordable and reusable raincoats would be ideal for festivals as well as anyone going to the final shows of Beyonce’s Cowboy Carter tour. Beyonce rounds off her UK concert dates on Monday, June 16 at London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
She called the folded-up coat, which fit into the palm of her hand, a “solid Primark find.” It attracted dozens of people from all over the internet who all had opinions.
One said: “Best thing I bought. Super handy and stayed dry! Was able to fit back into the bag with no problems.” Another added: “As members of the British public, we all understood. Tell me it’s festival season without telling me!”
A third wrote: “My grandma used to carry these in her handbag. Glad to see them making a comeback!” Someone else commented: “This is a UK summer essential!”
And, a fifth shared: “I wore this the other week. It fit back into the bag easy. Went down to around my knees.”
Some claimed that the coats were “not that good.” One shared: “Wouldn’t bother. I used them last week, and they fell apart” and another added: “From personal experience, they are NOT rain resistant!”
The coats aren’t available to order online, meaning shoppers will have to look in their nearest Primark branch for one. Someone in Georgie’s video told shoppers not to look with other coats and jackets – as you won’t find them there.
Instead, she said: “In the Birmingham one, they’re by the luggage section grouped with some handheld electric fans. Not sure about other branches though!”
In other Primark news, if the sunshine sticks around, the discount fashion store has lots of popular items that people are racing to add to their summer wardrobe. Shoppers were thrilled by the sight of this £10 bow-detailed top as well as this £5 basic sleeveless top that “could pass” for something twice the price at Zara.
