"Marx and Spencer" in Britain is strange to advertise - he is known here to all. Without exaggeration: there is hardly anyone in the country who does not use it. Of course, someone more often, someone is rarer, but that's all. There is nothing strange about this: Marks and Spencer is one of the largest networks in the country, famous in the beginning of the 20th century
As usual in Britain, Marx and Spencer are the names of the founders who started joint business in 1901 from the tray on market. They became famous for being one of the first to start selling clothing at the self-service store for sufficiently well-off segments of the population.
Previously, Only clothes for workers, and behind the dress it was more decently necessary to go to the tailor. "Marx and Spencer" was also innovative: in addition to clothes for maids, they began to sell models that were suitable for their owners in terms of cut and quality, keeping the price low due to local production and mass character. This was enough to enter the English history and stay there for a long time.
Now it's a huge network, there's such a store in almost every city, including the smallest ones. All products they sell only under their own brand, there are no other brands.
"Marx and Spencer" specializes in everyday clothes of classical style. Jeans they have a classic color and tailoring, men's shirts - the traditional small drawing, women's business suits - a calm color and so on. Models are usually very comfortable - without pretentious details and inconvenient elements, many natural fabrics.
Also there is a department with household utensils (usually not bad) and departments with shoes and bags (usually so-so.)
This network sells both women's and men's clothes, all kinds - from business suits to s ortivnyh trousers for all seasons and all ages. Models are different: more conservative, like older ladies, or more modern, which are bought by half of the working population of Britain.
Too much quality level is not to be counted, but their prices are low.
Separately it is necessary to say about the product departments. They are not in all stores, but in many. The food here is also sold almost only under its own brand, the quality is medium, but a very large selection and a lot of ready-to-eat food, convenient for tourists: sandwiches, ready salads in trays, etc.
"Marx and Spencer" stores in London are very a lot, they are in any tourist or just a busy place, on the same Oxford Street they are several. Almost all work from 8:00 to 22:00 from Monday to Saturday and from 12:00 to 18:00 on Sunday.
