Price History
Description
Bring a luxurious touch to your bedroom with this refined Laura Ashley bedspread. It's made from velvet for a sumptuous feel. Hand-stitched quilting creates a textured look, while a scalloped edge lends an elevated finish and ensures a flowing silhouette.
Our Stylist Says
I love this dark brown velvet bedspread for its rich colour and luxe texture, which instantly elevates a bedroom’s look. It’s perfect in classic or traditional interiors, especially those with warm neutrals, deep woods, or antique accents. The scalloped edging adds a subtle decorative detail without feeling overly ornate. For styling, consider layering it over a crisp white or neutral bedlinen to let the texture stand out, or pair with other velvet accessories for a cohesive look. It also works well as a cosy throw layered at the foot of the bed or draped over a chair for added warmth and sophistication. Practical tips include keeping it clean with gentle vacuuming or spot cleaning, as velvet can attract dust but is generally easy to maintain.

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.
