Price History
Description
These pillowcases from the Historic Royal Palaces collection pay homage to the style of Jean Tijou. Inspired by Hampton Court Palace ironwork, they offer a sophisticated look. The design is printed on luxurious 250-thread-count cotton sateen for a silky, smooth feel and high sheen. A coordinating Fleur de Lis reverse and Oxford trim complete the regal finish.
Our Stylist Says
I love this pair of pillowcases for their classic, understated appeal and the quality of the pure cotton sateen fabric, which adds a luxurious sheen and softness. They work particularly well in traditional or vintage-inspired interiors, but can also lift a modern bedroom with their subtle light blue hue. Practical styling tips include layering these with contrasting or patterned cushions for added texture, or using them in a monochrome scheme for a calming, cohesive look. Their versatile colour and elegant finish mean they can adapt to various seasonal or decorating updates, making them a reliable choice for a sophisticated, timeless bedroom aesthetic.

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.
