Marks & Spencer has expanded its third party brands offering with the addition of global footwear brands Skechers, Crocs and TOMS.
The move means the ‘Brands at M&S’ platform is now home to over 60 third-party brand partners.
M&S said the new additions will fill gaps in its footwear offering by introducing a combined 200 new styles spanning trainers, espadrilles, everyday sandals, and flip-flops for all ages, including kids.
M&S has also been strengthening its own brand footwear lines following the appointment of Annie Dore, the former head of buying at New Look, to the newly created position of business lead for footwear and accessories last year. Over the last quarter, searches for footwear on M&S.com have increased by 21% with growth mainly driven by the casual trainers category.
