‘Huh? It’s August’ shoppers cry as Primark releases pumpkin-themed Halloween homeware & declares the season ‘starts now’
SHOPPERS are raging after Primark announced the release of it’s new Halloween themed homeware, just days into August.
Halloween may be 12 whole weeks away, but Primark has started celebrations early, announcing on it’s TikTok page that the Autumn season “starts now.”
This has enraged many shoppers, who are desperate to cling on to summer for as long as possible.
The collection includes an adorable pumpkin shaped tea pot, available in both orange and cream.
It is priced at just £6 and will bring a cosy charm to your kitchen.
Also available in the collection is a large pumpkin shaped cooking pot and a sage green pumpkin ceramic oven dish.
There are also plates, mugs, bowls and a whole host of other kitchen accessories, that will make your whole kitchen feel like an autumnal haven.
However, although shoppers agreed that the products are adorable, many wished they had been left in the store room until at least the start of Autumn.
Taking to TikTok, one person said: “I want to shop for Autumn things but it’s still too hot.”
Another person said: “Primark… I hate to break it to you but autumn is in about a month.”
A third person joked: “Happy Augtober!”
However, others were more than happy to start spooky season early.
One person said: “It’s not a want it’s a need.”
Another person said: “I want the teapot so bad.”
A third person said: “I am running not walking to Primark.”
And the homeware section isn’t the only place that you can see the change from summer to Autumn in your local Primark.
The fast fashion giant recently highlighted a new Autumn fashion trend “full of preppy vibes and Cali girl influences.”
