Price History
Description
Celebrate the season in classic Laura Ashley style with the Astley Floral Christmas bedding set. It's made from pure cotton with a softly brushed finish that brings extra warmth and comfort to cosy winter nights. The reversible design offers two festive looks in one, featuring a charming floral and foliage print on one side and a traditional tartan check on the reverse.
Our Stylist Says
This bedding set is a great choice for adding festive charm to a traditional or country-style bedroom. I love its classic Christmas florals combined with warm reds and deep greens, which make it perfect for creating a cosy holiday retreat. It works well layered with rich textured throws and cushions to make the bed inviting, especially when paired with velvet or corduroy fabrics for extra warmth. For styling, consider using it in a room with warm wood tones or vintage accents to really enhance its seasonal appeal, and keep accessories minimal to let the pattern speak for itself. It’s practical too, with the classic cotton fabric making it easy to care for and ideal for adding a cheerful, holiday spirit to your master or guest room during Christmas.

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.
