About Per Una
Per Una was created for M&S by an outside designer who had founded George at Asda, and the retailer bought the brand outright in 2004. It was aimed at a younger customer than the main womenswear range. The designer who created it went on to work with other retailers, and the range remained one of the largest womenswear labels in Britain for years afterwards.
