The Good or the Bad?

The good?
Following the likes of Zara, H&M is starting its own home line which consists of four collections.














The bad?
It is only available online and in Europe, namely Sweden, Germany, The Netherlands, and Austria.











Seeing as H&M only came to downtown MTL last summer, there is no telling when I'll be seeing it. But here is a sneak peek.
