Price History
Description
Bring a modern feel to your room with these woven-texture Stephanie curtains from Laura Ashley. They're made in a contemporary eyelet style that creates an elegant look. A blackout lining provides extra warmth and privacy while shutting out the light.
Our Stylist Says
These Laura Ashley curtain panels are a great choice for adding a classic touch to various interiors. I love their neutral tone, which makes them versatile for both modern and traditional settings - especially in living rooms or bedrooms where a subtle, sophisticated look is desired. The eyelet design makes hanging a breeze, and the blackout lining is a real bonus for those needing to block out light or improve insulation. For styling, consider pairing them with coloured or patterned curtains to create a layered look, or keep it simple for a sleek, understated vibe. They're practical but with enough style to elevate a space, making them a reliable staple in any home.

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.
