It’s been quite a journey
M&S has acquired Thread’s technology and Thread has stopped trading
Dear customers
Ben and I started Thread 10 years ago with the goal of making it easier for men and women to dress well. To achieve this we pioneered how to combine cutting-edge AI with expert stylists, to give each person the perfect set of recommendations.
One of our biggest partners along the way was M&S, who shared our vision for democratising style. To help bring this to their much larger audience, they have acquired Thread's brand, technology and data.
This news is bittersweet, as unfortunately we will be stopping trading independently. We are going to miss working with you all. Thank you for all of the support you have shown us over the years by shopping with us.
Warmest regards,
Kieran & Ben
Co-founders, Thread
Common Questions
What has happened?
Marks & Spencer has acquired Thread’s brand, technology and data, in order to integrate the functionality into its customer offering. They have not acquired the rest of the business, so we will unfortunately have to cease trading and put the business into administration. We understand how disappointing this may be. If you have a question, read the common questions below, and if it’s not covered feel free to contact our customer support team.
I have placed an order but I have not received my item(s). What can I do?
Thread is now regrettably in administration and has ceased trading. Unfortunately, we are therefore not able to ship any further orders or process any cancellations. If you have paid for your item(s) but not received your order, it may be possible to recover this amount via your credit/debit card provider by making a Chargeback claim or, if the price of the item(s) you bought is higher than £100, by exercising your rights against your credit card provider under Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974. You should be able to find more details about this process at the link below:
My item arrived damaged or not as advertised. Can I return it for a refund or exchange it?
We understand it may cause frustration but unfortunately we are unable to offer exchanges and we are not taking returns as Thread has now ceased trading. If your item arrived damaged or not as described, you may be entitled to make a claim via your debit/credit card provider. You can find further guidance on this process here:
My item is the wrong size or unwanted and I would like to return it. Can I return it?
