Yours Clothing, which bought out the brand name, has since announced it is planning to open 50 physical stores over the next two years in a surprise turnaround.
But the retailer is also launching a new website www.mandco.com today for customers keen to pick something up before then.
The website sells all types of womenswear, including petite and plus sizes ranging from 8-28, with new ranges set to follow.
Shoppers can pick up footwear and accessories too.
Andrew Killingsworth, chief executive officer, said: “We are truly excited about this acquisition and the opportunity to restore the M&Co brand.
“M&Co has an incredible heritage and a loyal customer following, and
our goal is to honour that legacy by providing an unparalleled shopping experience while preserving the brand’s identity.”
All of M&Co’s shops closed at the end of April after it collapsed into administration last year, with its brand and intellectual property sold to Yours Clothing.
Branches launched huge closing down sales offering as much as 80%, with one shopper bagging a £104 dress for just £10 in the sale.

It comes as a number of other retailers close stores or restaurants across the UK, with high inflation leaving shoppers’ budgets squeezed.
In January, Byron Burger fell into administration with owners saying it would result in the loss of over 200 jobs.
Paperchase also closed 106 high street stores earlier this year.
A number of retailers have closed, or are set to close a number of branches in June too.
Argos is closing all of its stores in the Republic of Ireland this month while Iceland and Poundstretcher are also shutting shops.
