Price History
Description
With its subtle stripes, this pure cotton set by Laura Ashley brings an understated elegance to the bedroom. In a luxurious 400 thread count with satin strips woven into its pattern, the set feels sumptuously soft on skin. It's finished with piped edges for a neat, tailored look.
Our Stylist Says
I love this bed set for its classic, crisp white look and the quality of the cotton sateen - it's both luxurious and practical. It works particularly well in a neutral, minimalist interior or a traditional bedroom where you want a clean, fresh backdrop that can be easily styled with colourful cushions or throws. For added visual interest, consider layering with textured beds gives or incorporating soft pastel accents. Practical tips include pairing it with a variety of pillowcases for a layered look or adding a patterned cushion or throw for a subtle pop of personality while maintaining a calm, restful vibe. Its versatility means it can adapt from modern to more classic schemes effortlessly.

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.
