M&S does H? blurgh!

[Poshhoney]

What the devil is this?! I was innocently cutting through M&S yesterday and stopped dead in my tracks. I know it's not quite "there" but it's certainly a bit of a nod to....check out those front straps and the turnkey.
Made of stamped plastic mmmm

 

[kellybirkin]

What worries me as much is that someone out there in Manchester has probably bought one already!

 

[Chipper]

Ladies, what is M&S?

 

[Les Tambours]

Marks and Spencer, the quintessential British department store. Everyone depends on it for something be it criossants or socks. The bag is a nod but it really looks a mess. Plastic as well, yummy I don't think. No cause for Hermes to sue just yet methinks.

I saw that monstrosity in there a couple of weeks ago.....it's not like they even used nice leather

 

[Ms Birkin]

That looks awful, I can't believe they would want to sell something like that, regardless of it being a nod to H

 

[kolibriszuka]

Eew. That must be like our "old navy" here in the US. I hate it, but sometimes you just need a cheap white tee shirt!

They've done things like that as well.

I wouldn't say that, exactly. I would say it's more like a Bay (middle class quality?), but with food. =)

 

[kolibriszuka]

So it's kind of like Macys?

Any sort of copying perturbs the H out of me!

 

[Les Tambours]

Much more Macys than Old Navy but there really is no direct translation!

 

[lilyhermes]

Oh, Lord, and in plastic croc. no less. What are they selling that abomination for?

 

[kellybirkin]

Heard Stuart Rose on Radio 4 this morning talking about the drop in profits and poor outlook for the retailer as a consequence of the downturn; well, no wonder if you sell stuff like this and we all know that H profits are on the up!



PS Flippant, I know as the fears are real but this is TPF!

 

[Poshhoney]

I believe this "beauty" was £21.

Interested lilyhermes?! hehe.

There shouldn't be too many of these horrors about- they are part of the 'limited collection' according to the tag in the photo... although I spied someone with one earlier in Belfast...didn't realise what it was, just thought it was fugly!

:s...if i had £21 ($42), i would definitely not spend it on a faux leather (plastic croc) bag. i think i'd rather get a canvas/nylon bag. i love M&S (esp. for fruits), but IMO the actual bag itself is just tacky & not nice at all.
