Spanning menswear and womenswear and priced from £10 to £150, the collection revives the historically significant St Michael label and gives familiar everyday clothing a distinctly rebellious edge.

Reawakening the vintage spirit of St Michael
In recent years, more people have been searching for St Michael pieces in vintage stores and on resale platforms. Aries founder Sofia Prantera looked through the M&S archives and, rather than creating a direct reproduction, combined its signature angel motif with Aries’ classic Temple logo. From sharp striped tailoring and sporty sets to casual knitwear, the collection is full of Y2K collegiate style. This familiar yet entirely fresh visual language gives classic British pieces a more relaxed streetwear feel.
The green shopping bag, reimagined in leather
If you like adding a touch of humor to your outfits, this accessory lineup is sure to catch your eye. M&S’ most recognizable green plastic shopping bag has been reimagined by Aries as a beautifully made soft green leather handbag, turning an everyday disposable item into a modern collectible.
Sofia Prantera’s Spencer Bear, a gift from her grandmother when she was a child, has also been transformed into an oversized bag charm. Along with coin-shaped vintage brooches and hair clips, the details are filled with warm personal memories.
Where can you buy the M&S x Aries collection, and how much does it cost?
The limited-edition pieces are quite affordably priced, with a versatile Baby Tee at £25 and a casual jacket with a premium feel at £95. Official prices for Taiwan and Hong Kong have not yet been announced, yet the visuals released so far are already building plenty of anticipation.
The collection launched on August 20 on the official website and at select stores. If you’ve got your eye on that green leather shopping bag, be sure to check the website for availability soon.
