Fast food and fast fashion may not seem like natural bedfellows, but that is set to change.

Retailer Primark has announced it will launch an exclusive clothing range with the bakery chain Greggs, sparking a mixed response on social media.

A limited-edition, 11-piece clothing collection will be available in 60 Primark stores later this month.

Greggs will also open a 130-seater café in Primark's flagship Birmingham store.

More details of what will be included in the clothing range will be shared nearer the launch date, but photos of a hoodie featuring the Greggs logo and the message "It's a pastry thing" written along one arm have been published.

The two retailers teased the tie-up last week, when mannequins at several Primark stores were seen adorned with Greggs' sausage rolls and steak bakes.

It has attracted a mixed response on social media, with some people asking if it was a parody and one tweeting: "PR Stunt of the Day".

I dunno, it might seem weird at first but Primark and Greggs are definitely in the same semantic network. Like... walk into any shopping centre in the UK and you're probably going to find a Greggs close enough to a Primark that you could throw a sausage roll and hit a mannequin. They'll save a tonne on store rental costs by combining into one space.

A bunch of gearheads shopping at an M&S foodhall? I do NOT think so, sir. Halfords can be in... ASDA... something like that.

Although I have seen a few ASDAs with McDonalds inside. That seems about right .
