Price History
Description
Bold stripes bring a playful feel to this wool-rich West Coast throw from Bluebellgray. The oatmeal, blush, cornflower and coral tones add a cheerful splash of colour, while a contrasting blanket-stitch edge provides a charming finishing touch. Its generous size makes it perfect for wrapping up and getting cosy.
Our Stylist Says
I love the Bluebellgrey Wool Rich West Coast Stripe Throw because of its vibrant yet versatile colour palette, which can add a refreshing pop of colour to neutral interiors or complement existing colour schemes. It works particularly well in contemporary or coastal-inspired spaces where texture and layering are key. For styling, drape it over a sofa to create a cosy, inviting look, or fold it neatly at the foot of a bed to introduce warmth and pattern without overwhelming the space. Its wool-rich construction makes it both practical and comfortable, ideal for layering during colder months or for casual everyday use. Pairing it with simple cushions and neutral fabrics can help it stand out without clashing, making it a flexible accessory for various interiors.

About Marks & Spencer
History and Expansion
Marks and Spencer, often lovingly called "Marks and Sparks" or "M&S", has been a staple in the UK market since its founding in 1884. Over the years, the brand has seen tremendous growth, with 1,064 stores across the UK and an additional 406 locations worldwide as of 2023.
Historically, M&S was celebrated for its commitment to selling British-made goods, pioneering the "St Michael" brand in 1928 which honoured its co-founder Michael Marks.
As they grew, M&S maintained its reputation for quality, fair value, and innovative customer policies, even allowing returns with full cash refunds regardless of purchase date.
Clothing & Home Business Endeavours
In recent years, M&S has focused on modernising its Clothing & Home business, striving to offer contemporary, stylish products that resonate with their 22 million customers.
A noteworthy move was their acquisition of Jaeger in 2021, a brand that shares a founding year with M&S. Under M&S's umbrella, Jaeger remains an independent brand, renowned for its timeless elegance, and is now available on M&S's website and in select M&S stores across the UK and Ireland.
Sustainability and Innovations
Throughout its existence, Marks and Spencer has demonstrated commitment to improving customer experience and sustainability.
In the 1950s, they introduced hygiene training for canteen staff, and by the 1960s had implemented thermostatically controlled refrigerators for enhanced energy efficiency.
M&S has been at the forefront of many retail innovations, from introducing "sell by dates" in the early '70s to enhance food quality, to banning smoking in all their stores as early as 1959 due to fire hazards.
The brand's long standing dedication to quality, customer relations, and sustainability remains evident in their practices today.
