'Quality clothes' will complement stylish silver pendants

Fans of silver pendants will soon find that they will be able to get their hands on better quality clothing, meaning that their jewellery will be shown off by garments which do it justice.

Tamara Sender, senior fashion analyst at Mintel, said that high street fashion retailers are likely to focus on quality this year, in order to meet rising consumer demand.

"What we are saying is that mostly retailers are going to focus more on quality. So far we have seen George at ASDA [promoting product quality]. All of its products come with a 100-day guarantee to reassure customers that the product will last for at least one season and provide value for money," she went on to say.

Ms Sender also said that value retailers will continue to do well as women continue to shop around for different garments to go with their silver pendants.

Her words came after Mintel revealed that nearly half of women in the UK spent the same or more on their clothes in 2009, despite the recession.
