Rainbow sale at M&S

MarKs & spencer has launched a ‘rainbow’ sale in a desperate attempt to boost business and clear unsold stock.

the chain, whose clothing and home stores are shut, has reduced prices of some items by up to 60pc, and said it will donate 10pc of revenues from the sale to nHs charities.

One item on sale is a linen floral belted shirt dress, which is reduced 62pc from £39.50 to £15, while M&s’s polka dot midi dress has been reduced by 60pc to just £9.

the M&s sale is one of the first signs of the heavy discounts consumers can expect once the High street reopens, as shops try to clear space for autumn and winter clothes.
