Marks & Spencer is known and loved for its high-quality clothing, accessories, homeware and more, but a new release has got shoppers excited about the same thing
Marks & Spencer shoppers have heaped praise on a new range of activewear, but a seemingly innocuous detail caught their eye more.
Despite being founded back in 1884, Marks & Spencer still maintains its relevance and reputation on the high street thanks to its array of clothing, homeware, accessories and food. The brand prides itself on offering customers high-quality products across all its departments.
To keep shoppers thoroughly up-to-date on all the newest items and releases they can expect to find in store and online, M&S makes use of social media, with a variety of accounts to showcase each of its departments.
Recently, an Instagram video featuring digital creator Hayley Karseras – known to her 1.1 million followers as @ladyofthemanor77 – proved popular, racking up more than 280K views. In the footage, Hayley models a series of outfits and accessories aimed to suit a “weekend of wellness.”
Featured items included leggings, fleece jackets, oversized jumpers, a red swimsuit, a borg baseball hat, a shower-proof coat, and much more. Captioning the video, M&S simply penned: “Wondering what to wear for a weekend of wellness? It’s in the bag.”
Impressed shoppers flocked to the comments section to share their thoughts. One person declared: “Obsessed” while another said: “Love it”.
A third was particularly enamoured with a matching two-piece set and commented: “Love the white tracksuit!!” while another said: “Love every item.”
But it was the red shopping bag that caught many people’s attention. In the clip, Hayley pulled each item out of a large rectangular shopping bag before showing them to the camera and then modelling them.
The red bag was complete with simple M&S branding in white, and is reminiscent of the style of gift bags given to shoppers in high-end luxury stores like Selfridges. Instagram users were quick to take note.
One person said: “Oh I wonder are they having new bags” while another said: “I need a red bag”. A third added: “I’m loving the M&S bags” while a fourth commented: “That bag [heart eyes emoji]”.
Someone else said: “I think the bag is nice” while another agreed: “I love the new red bag”.
