Yes. Used to be reliable for a certain level of quality and durability. Even if their fashions missed the mark their basics were still good. Tights from there were a great investment, in fact I still have some M&S tights from 10ish years ago that have never ripped, shrunk or bobbled!
I used to get DHs work socks from M&S. Now tescos last better and stay soft without shrinking!
Now M&S are not even "fast fashion" that dont wash well. They are not fashionable or practical!
Primark and peacocks actually last longer
