For example, we’ve seen the brand selling sofas and furniture at up to 75% of their original retail price.

Next made a huge change to prices in January after shoppers noticed that the brand’s clothes were more expensive.
Next said that prices will rise by 8% in the spring and summer, before rising again by another 6% in autumn and winter.
Next said that an increase in operating costs and the price of goods is partly to blame for the increase.
