Price History
Description
Bring some signature Laura Ashley flair to your room with these cotton-rich curtains from the Attleton range. They are made with convenient eyelets for easy installation and feature a gorgeous floral and bird print for a nature-inspired finish.
Our Stylist Says
These Laura Ashley curtains in duck egg are a lovely choice for adding a soft, classic touch to traditional or cottage-style interiors. The floral eyelet design offers a charming, vintage feel, while the cotton-rich fabric ensures a good weight and fullness, helping to keep light out and provide insulation. They work particularly well in rooms with neutral or pastel colour schemes, paired with light wood or painted furniture. For a balanced look, consider keeping window treatments simple with minimal accessories; perhaps add a coordinating cushion or floral feature pillow to tie the space together. To maximise their aesthetic, hang them close to the ceiling to create the illusion of height or use tiebacks for a neat and tailored finish during the day.

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.
