About M&S Collection
M&S Collection is the core clothing range, renamed from several older labels to simplify a line-up that had grown confusing. Consolidating own brands rather than proliferating them has been the retailer's direction since. Consolidating several older labels under one name made the ranges easier to shop and cut the cost of running separate design and buying teams for each.
