STORE SNAPS - marks & spencer

I thought we might need a little bit of Spring print today to brighten up a cold January. These are the first of the new SS18 arrivals just in at Marks & Spencer in childrenswear. Glad to see Cacti continuing to make a strong appearance as they are a fun motif for artists to work with.







In womensswear there was a black, pink and green theme....





And finally here are some snaps from the M&S card department...
