SHOPPERS are going wild and are racing to get their hands on ‘nostalgic’ homeware from M&S.
So if you want to upgrade your dinner set that you’ve had for the last decade, or fancy nabbing yourself a new mug, then you’ve come to the right place.
Bargain hunters are raving about the new M&S collection of ‘nostalgic’ goods, reminiscent of pricier alternatives by high-end brands but with a much more affordable price tag.
Not only have people claimed that the affordable buys look ‘designer’, but others have claimed they are like being ‘transported back in time’.
It comes after M&S, an established British retail giant since 1884, took to social media to show off the gorgeous interior range.
Posting on the official M&S account, the chain shared a short video featuring an array of serving bowls and plates designed to mimic cabbage leaves.
The accompanying caption joked: “We heard it counts as one of your five a day“.
Thanks to this nostalgic homeware range, shoppers will be able to stock up on an assortment of food-shaped items that echo designs many remember from their grandparents' homes.
The collection includes a £15 Cabbage Serving Bowl, which is available in shades of forest green and pink, as well as a Medium Serving Bowl, priced at only £12.50.
Not only is the M&S range purse-friendly, but if you’ve got designer taste but a small budget, you’ll be pleased to know that this cheaper alternative is strikingly similar to Liberty's Cabbage Leaf Bowl, which costs £61.
In addition to this, there’s Cabbage Plates, for just £10 – and they're available in forest green and white.
Shoppers can also find a vibrant Red Cabbage Patch Platter, which retails for £15.
Not only this, but there’s even a cute Cabbage Cup and Saucer, which is sure to leave your guests impressed, for only £10.
But that’s not all, as shoppers will also find the Cabbage Jug for only £18 – and there's no doubt it will look fabulous centre stage on your dining table.

This Instagram clip has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly captured over 144,000 views and 1,478 likes.
M&S fans were gobsmacked and confessed to being ‘in love’ with the new tableware.
Why Everyone Is Loving M&S
Deputy Fashion Editor Abby McHale revealed to Fabulous why M&S is the shop of the moment. She explained:
“M&S has really pulled it out of the bag this season, there is so much good product to be excited about.
“A brand once known for its ‘frumpy fashion’ that notion is long gone with it now being one of the leading high street stores for womenswear.
“Its handbag range in particular is super strong with them selling 170% vs plan, with lots more designer dupes for just a fraction of the price.
“The brand is now also the #1 for style perceptions, compared to the #3 spot it had last year, this comes from a really strong design team focused on modernising the brand, not only taking into consideration how the pieces look, but how easy they are to wear also.
“Price is also a big factor with you being able to get many good quality pieces all for under £30.
“After having a sneak peak of the upcoming collection there are so many more amazing pieces that are dropping over the next few months to keep your eyes on.
“Think leopard print dresses, colourful co-ords, embroidered boho jackets, plus lots of swimwear and amazing accessories, as well as great wardrobe staples that will last year on year.”;
Not only did shoppers eagerly flock to the comments to share their thoughts on the M&S buys, but the conversation quickly turned to many sharing memories, with numerous users noting the resemblance to items their grandparents once owned.
One person said: “Love this collection”, while another shared: “Saw these in store yesterday, absolutely LOVE them”.

Another enthusiastic shopper simply stated: “Obsessed!” while others couldn't resist exclaiming: “Omg NEED.”;
Recognising the clear sense of nostalgia, one customer commented: “Just like Carltonware! I've got some of my mum's!”
Hottest home trends for 2025
Renovations expert Andy Simms, fromMyBuilder.com revealed the hottest interior design trends for this year.
COLOUR DRENCHING
Colour drenching involves using your colour across walls and ceilings to maximise the impact and create the illusion of a bigger space – doors, radiators, and even furniture won’t escape the paint job if you want the full effect. Brown, terracotta, beige – once the preserve of the 70s, earthy colours have been slowly gaining popularity. Similarly, bold greens and blues are also making a return, with the intention of colour drenching rooms.
STATEMENT WALLPAPER
Wallpaper divides designers, with some loving it and others preferring painted walls. 2025 will see a resurgence of wallpaper, and the bolder the better. For small spaces, such as downstairs loos or studies, choose a bold print and ignore any concerns about making the space look smaller. For larger spaces, consider a stunning mural theme.
BROKEN LIVING PLAN
Open plan living has been popular for over a decade now, but while it hasn’t quite had its day, many are returning to smaller, functional spaces – with a twist. “Broken plan”; is when a bigger space is cut into various parts using screens, archways, crittal-style windows and doors or textured glass.
While someone else chimed in with similar fond reflections and beamed: “I love this type of crockery, it reminds of plates and bowls my Mum and Gran had when I was young”.
Not only this, but another recognised: “I bought this collection, it just felt so nostalgic like I'd been transported back in time to my nans.”;
Whilst one eagle-eyed user wrote: “Oooh very Liberty.”
