Over 10,000 Marks and Spencer Food shoppers rush to buy 60p item that's the 'first of its kind'

Over 10,000 Marks and Spencer shoppers have rushed to stores this week to buy a 60p item that's a 'first of its kind'. The product, which was only released in stores on Monday, is already proving a hit with M&S lovers, and has been flying off shelves.

The retailer's new 60p 'must have' is its new carrier bag, which has seen a massive change from the old green style. Marks and Spencer's carrier bags had been a solid green colour for years, and became iconic amongst shoppers.

But now M&S has teamed up with store alumni and incredible London-based Black artist Yinka Ilori to create its most stylish and durable carrier bag to date. The leading artist worked at M&S’ Moorgate store for eight years at the start of his design career.
