M&S Sale

I've actually bought quite a few things in store and also ordered 4 items to collect from store - including a pair of oxblood patent leather brogues reduced from over £40 to £15.

Very unlike me as I'm not a usual M&S shopper.

Very upset.
One of the items I ordered was a pair of 'jewelled' nude leather sandals for my holidays, reduced from (I think) £29.50 to £8.00.
They fit perfectly, the insole is padded and the straps are in exactly the right place for my feet. :j
But......one of the straps is coming unstitched so they have to go back.
And they are now out of stock.

I bought a bikini top - I have a bikini in the same colour & pattern but different style - and managed to find a matching pair of bottoms (again a different style to the pair I already have) in store for £3.00..

The oxblood shoes are fab!
Very edgy, look great with opaque tights and jeggings - a bit Dr Marten-ish.

Particularly good sale online on men's big and tall. Got my husband a 150 quid suit for 40 and lots of trousers for £3-£6

Does anyone know when they will be reducing the clearance stuff further?

RainbowDrops

Las time I'm not even sure they did further reductions after 60% off online, so this might be it.
I read an article recently where they said they're trying to do away with the very heavy reductions.

Why don't you take the shoes to your local cobbler who will probably be able to stitch them for a few pounds?

Thanks.

Unfortunately, it's not just a case of the straps coming unstitched, the strap is actually broken right where it joins the top part of the sandal. I think one wear would snap the strap.
I initially thought it was glue but on further inspection the sandal is definitely faulty.

Some of the stuff in our M&S was definitely reduced by more than 60% when I popped in yesterday.
Not sure about online.
I ordered some trousers that had been £27.50 but £8.00 in the sale so that was more than 60% anyway,
They were on the rail yesterday at less than £8 but I can't remember the exact price.

Got an email from M&S on Saturday morning, and the last item stated that the online sale had gone to 70% off.

Was in the Guildford store in the afternoon and still promoting 60% off in the window and on the double height racks, although some items had more that 70% off, but (of the items I looked at) the online stock were definitely cheaper. Instore sale stickers were still white not yellow.

Thanks but not everything reduced for more than 60% yet. That is why I want to know about next markdowns.

The sale has finished online. Does anyone know whether it is still continuing in store?

There was a load of sale stuff in various places - ladies, mens, shoes & lingerie - in my local M&S this morning.
