Price History
Description
Inspired by an antique Toile de Jouy print from the archive, these Laura Ashley curtains bring timeless French elegance to modern interiors. Crafted from pure cotton with a blackout lining, they shut out light and keep warmth in. The floral design and pencil pleat header create a refined look.
Our Stylist Says
I really like these Laura Ashley Tuileries blackout curtains for their versatile design and practical benefits. The blackouts are great for creating a dark, restful sleep environment, making them perfect for bedrooms. The blue mix pattern adds a touch of classic elegance and works well in traditional or country-style interiors, but they can also bring a subtle sophistication to modern spaces. For styling tips, consider pairing them with neutral or coordinating soft furnishings to emphasise their pretty pattern, or use them to add a pop of colour to a more minimalist scheme. They’re easy to dress down with simple blinds or dress up with decorative curtain tiebacks, making them a flexible choice for a variety of living spaces.

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.
