H&M opens tomorrow at Canberra Centre
Posted on
Another Swedish retail giant has come to town, and to say that Canberra is excited is an understatement.
I still remember my first H&M experience at age 16, desperately trying to decide what to spend my pocket money on as Paris Christmas crowds surged around me. Everything was affordable and achingly-trendy and I remember being torn between a sparkly headband and the perfect dress for New Year’s Eve.
Seven years later in 2014, Australia got its first H&M—a mammoth four stories of fashion, beauty, accessories and homewares in Melbourne’s historic GPO building, meaning that its joys were no longer reserved for overseas travel. And from tomorrow, Canberrans will need to go no further afield than Civic.
For the uninitiated, H&M (Hennes and Mauritz) is a veritable trove of on-trend clothing, accessories, beauty and homewares. The price point is decidedly affordable, with H&M’s Premium and Conscious lines costing a little bit extra for quality construction or 100% sustainable materials.
With the grand opening set for 10am tomorrow, we’re predicting lines around the block. Here are some of the reasons why.
HOT OFF THE CATWALK
Direct from Europe come the trends of Summer 2017. Swimmers, party dresses and summer basics are all accounted for in myriad colours, fabrics and styles.

Did we mention their activewear?
FINISHING TOUCHES
In addition to clothing, H&M are renowned for their range of accessories covering shoes, headpieces, jewellery, lingerie and more.
‘TIS THE SEASON
Gifting is hard and sometimes painfully expensive. Office presents, cousin presents, large friendship group presents, Kris Kringle—the list goes on.
Why not take the monogramming trend to your earlobes with this adorable set of studs ($14.99)? Paired up as initials they would also make the perfect thank you gift or Secret Santa.
For the boot camp enthusiast in your life, what about this sparkly water bottle? And for the one with the fur baby, how does a pet Santa suit sound? Yes, really.
Opening day deals
Want even more reasons to take a cheeky flex morning? The first 250 customers into the store will receive a goodie bag filled with H&M products and everyone who comes in on opening day will be able to take advantage of their one-off deals and specials.
