M&S has sold Christmas cakes and Christmas puddings since 1958. M&S launched their own brands of domestic products, such as washing powder and aluminium foil in 1972, under the brand name of 'House-care'. Machine washable wool first appeared in 1972 and Lycra hosiery first came in during 1986. The synthetic fibre Tricell was first used in 1957 and lasted until the 1970s and another synthetic fibre called Courtelle was first launched nationally by Marks & Spencer during 1960 and also lasted well into the 1970s. For most of its history, it has also had a reputation for offering fair value for money. The company put its main emphasis on quality, including a 1957 stocking size measuring system. Marks & Spencer were selling clothes under the St Margaret and St Michael label by the mid-1950s and launched their school uniforms in the early 1950s, but these would be shifted toward brands such as Autograph in the 2000s. The St Michael Quality Promise was phased out a few years ago. The St Michael name was subsequently adopted as a 'quality guarantee' and appeared as the St Michael Quality Promise on the back of food products, on the side of delivery vehicles and on in-store ordering receipts. In 2000, Marks & Spencer shifted to the Marks & Spencer brand. M&S lingerie, women's clothing and girls' uniforms were branded under the St Margaret brand, until the whole range of general merchandise became St Michael. By 1950, virtually all goods were sold under the St Michael brand.
The brand was introduced by Simon Marks in 1928, after his father and co-founder of Marks & Spencer, Michael Marks. St Michael is a brand that was owned and used by Marks & Spencer from 1928. 13.5 The May–August 2011 Corporate revamp.13 Former clothing ranges and product types.9 Gift shop/Christmas gifts and ideas shop.7.1 Interior design, kitchen equipment, bedding and furnishings.6 Branded cosmetics, toiletries and perfumery.It’s touristy, but it’s touristy for a reason. It’s on top of a cliff with a view of the Mediterranean Sea. It’s one of the most famous villages in the south of France. Then it’s time for a nap.Īnd before heading home, we drive from Marseille to Saint-Paul-de-Vence, which is about a two-hour drive. Noon: Order the bouillabaisse, take a napĪfter spending time in nature, we head back to the village of Les Goudes and enjoy the bouillabaisse at Grand Bar des Goudes (28 Rue Désiré Pelaprat, 13008 Marseille). If we are in the mood for exploring, we head to Calanques National Park. They have the souvenirs, it’s paradise! Well, at least for me, not for my husband, who then waits. I could spend half a day just looking at everything. It’s that store everybody goes to for anything you can imagine in a vintage vibe.
Maison Empereur (4 Rue des Récolettes, 13001 Marseille, France) has everything you can imagine for self and home like sheepskin slippers and enamel glasses.
You can spot poppy fields (in late spring) or lavender fields (in summer). I land at the Marseille airport, which is between Marseille and Aix-en-Provence, and then my dad picks me up and we drive about 45 minutes, depending on traffic, passing Aix-en-Provence to my dad’s village, La Bastidonne. A Del Val–approved holiday meanders through the sun-washed villages and open-air markets with the hum of cicadas in the background. “It’s warm but dry - the nature is gorgeous.” Del Val last traveled to Provence from New York this spring, and flew back with her husband for their seventh summer and 11th trip in late July. When Delphine Del Val’s father retired and moved from Paris to Provence, the talent agent and founder of Pool Creatives started visiting his home near Aix-en-Provence every summer, at first for one week, then two weeks, then when COVID arrived for a month at a time. In this recurring series, we find those people who’ve done all the work for you and have them walk us through a particularly wonderful, especially well-thought-out vacation they took that you can actually steal. Photos: Delphine Del ValĮveryone knows that person who spends weeks sniffing around travel blogs, going deep into Tripadvisor rabbit holes, collecting Google docs from friends of friends, and creating A Beautiful Mind– style spreadsheets to come up with the best vacations and itineraries possible.
