Hi there! I'm trying to look for an online store with cute, trendy and pretty clothes but I cant seem to find any.

edit: wowwww so many answers! thank you so much! I'm gonna look at them all right now!! ♥

Vetersopmaat - website is in Dutch, but they ship EU-wide for 2.5 euros.
Topman is not strictly single-brand. They do have a lot of their own stuff, but also a long list of other brands. Essentially like a smaller ASOS.
Would not recommend H&M online in the UK, they have absolutely awful customer service.
They cancelled an order of mine and then sent me a LETTER to tell me, and then if I wanted to reserve the order when they got more stock send it back by like the 15th or something. Except, the letter arrived on like the 18th, 3 days after that date.
TL:DR: Do you know any European clothing brands that aren't ultra expensive? I expect to pay more than usual, but hopefully not 5 or 10x more.
Long version:
We've had some great threads about European clothing alternatives such as this, but clicking the links in that thread is fairly depressing since every brand I looked at had pretty high prices. And I do understand that quality clothing made in the EU is going to cost more, but it feels like most European brands market themselves as luxury brands allowing them to charge high margins on their clothing. It's hard to find brands that sit somewhere inbetween fast fashion and these luxury brands.
isto.pt is a good example of what I'm describing. They make their clothes in Portugal, they claim to get their materials sustainably and to only work with factories which pay above a certain wage, which is all great. They're also very transparent about their production costs for every piece, which is cool but it also exposes my problem with these brands.
If you look at their basic t-shirts, they have a cost breakdown which amounts to 11€ - which is a lot in comparison to a t-shirt you buy at a fast fashion store - but they sell them for 35/40€ - a substantial margin. Meaning there's room for those t-shirts to be made sustainably in the EU for not that much - these brands just choose not to since their target audience are people with deep pockets.
So, what brands can I get a basic t-shirt at that's not going to cost me an arm and a leg?
EDIT: Thank you very much for all the replies, I'm going to be clicking a bunch of these links.
