does anyone know anyone who works there please? Someone stole an item out my hands today in a different store and it’s the only store with stock of the item which I’ve hunted everywhere for but I can’t get through to store only a central call centre; anyone know how I can before I drive all that way for potentially wasted journey please?

Just a warning - I was after some shoes from M&S earlier this year. Website showed a store had two in my size. Went all the way only to see that they didn’t have any. Employee at the store said one had been used on a mannequin and was no longer available and the other she had no idea about. So be prepared for the stock info not being right!

If there's any in Culverhouse Cross in Cardiff I'm happy to have a look OP.

I do think you're slightly bonkers but I love bonkers people the most.

I'm 100% not going to buy the bag. I had one I love for Christmas with cows and sheep on. I'm not very M&S. I'm surprised they let me in.

tilypu · 27/12/2025 17:50

I've sent you a PM with a link, op, but it might not be the right bag

Happyher · 27/12/2025 17:55

Keep checking stock — if someone returns one you may be lucky

Aw thanks unfortunately it’s not in stock in wales either!

No worries and you’re welcome. I shall finish my shopping trip with some dim sum now instead. (And I got a 50% off Rosie HW lounge set that I wouldn’t have seen if I didn’t pop in there - so thank you actually!) Hope you get hold of it! I wonder how many naysayers on here upturn heaven and earth to get something their kid has asked for for Christmas?! It’s no different! If I’m in the area then why wouldn’t I want to do a favour if I was able? Will keep my fingers crossed for you.

Hallamlass · 27/12/2025 17:59

Anyway, as I said, I'll be in the Fargate store tomorrow afternoon, so just let me know what I'm looking for.

Ihatesw · 27/12/2025 18:01

Someone stole a bag out of your hands? I would have yulped a yelp and grabbed it back.

no I wouldn’t have really but honestly, the audacity!

did you do anything after the person took it or was the moment over?

Lougle · 27/12/2025 18:19

I'd happily pop over to Hedge End M&S if that helps. In fact I'm heading that way soon and they're open.

Unfortunately, the website has 1038 bags, so I might need a steer!

ImDuranDuran · 27/12/2025 18:24

What about Northern Ireland stores? I’m heading out tomorrow and am happy for any excuse for a browse around M&S Grin

AD1509 · 27/12/2025 18:25

lll be passing tomorrow- but would want to know what it is. Sending a pair of gloves is
a bit easier than a specially glazed ham etc

It's a handbag.

The stock checker on the jumper I wanted said there was 1 in store this morning when I checked. Got there just after 11. Found it and bought it. The stock checker now says out of stock. It seems to work.

AgentBalls · 27/12/2025 18:53

Can you post a link to the bag?

I’m sure more people will be able to help or look out for it, if we actually know what we’re looking for….

Duvetdweller · 27/12/2025 19:05

Someone took a ready cooked chicken out of my trolley once in M&S when my back was turned - there was a massive queue for them, I was raging 😡

ThelmaDinkley · 27/12/2025 19:17

Im popping in M&S Meadowhall store if you want me to have a look?

Sunshineandblueskysalltheway · 27/12/2025 19:31

Is it that lovely over sized tote? I missed out too if it is.

DriveVerySlowlyPastNumber23IWantThemToSeeMyHat · 27/12/2025 19:39

Dramatic much. I imagined you all being held hostage in M&S and needed the police ringing 🙈🙈🙈
