Everything that we have bought from Mackays has washed well and lasted ages!
I've been buying childrens clothes for the last 10 years, the Kylie range is wonderful, my girls could have bought up the whole range!
We've just bought a lot of the new winter range, well done, very practical!

Although the website is not compeletly developed, MSL is (was) an excellent company. Despite what the other review said I have worked for the company for 5 years and they are a brilliant place to work for. In reponse to the other review and the comments that the 'The profit that they make is outrageous.' Profit is the centre of ALL BUSINESSES that is why they are in business! The prices start low and then in sales go even lower, they are at least not like other major retails who either 1. make poor quality and then charge more! or 2. same quality but charge 3 times as much. I can almost gurarantee that an item from Mackays will last you longer than one from say New Look! Mackays is dramatically growing in size esp with the development of the 'M and Co' stores.
Update Dec 2005:
Although I had sent the previus review i feel i need to review it!
i left the company in july after being bullied by management and no-one was prepared to do anything about it. the company used to be great but i suppose it only takes one bad apple to destroy the cart as they say. i dont know what i feel anymore. they made my life awful but i am now better off! the 'old' mackays was fantastic. lets hope they return there again!

Although you may feel that products are vaule for money you must understand that compared to what mackays pays for they clohing it is far less than what the customer is asked to pay. For example a pair of denim jeans would cost the customer abit of money however Mackays buys it for far less than what the customer does. The profit that they make is outrageous.
Mackays offer development and training for their staff however this is not entirely true. Progression through the company is extremely slow and very difficult especially within the Buying and Merchandising office. I would not recommend anyone to work for this company and would suggest that you try Mackays competitors such as Arcadia, New Look or Debenhams. I know that I am not the only person to feel like this so please let everyone know the whole truth about the real Mackays.
