Price History
Description
The pretty floral pattern on this Laura Ashley bedding set will instantly refresh the look of your space. It's crafted from pure cotton for a naturally soft and breathable feel, and features an all-over print in calming blue tones that bring a fresh, country-inspired charm to your bedroom. Button fastenings provide a neat finishing touch.
Our Stylist Says
I love the Laura Ashley Sweet Alyssum bedding for its soft, calming blue tones and delicate floral motif, making it an ideal choice for creating a relaxed, shabby-chic or cottage-inspired bedroom. It works particularly well in spaces aiming for a cosy, inviting atmosphere, especially when paired with natural textures like linen or woven accessories. For a polished look, try layering it with crisp white or neutral-toned bed linens and add textured throws or cushions in complementary shades. Its versatile design makes it suitable for both traditional and contemporary interiors, adding a touch of understated charm without overpowering the space.

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.
