Price History
Description
Made with 400-thread-count pure Egyptian cotton, this pillowcase offers exceptional softness. The percale weave gives it a cool, crisp finish, while an Oxford edge adds a smart touch to the design. StayNew™ technology helps it look and feel fresh for longer, while an easy-iron finish ensures smooth, low-maintenance care.
Our Stylist Says
I love this pillowcase for its crisp, clean look and the luxurious feel of Egyptian cotton. Its dove hue provides a versatile, muted tone that works well in both contemporary and traditional interiors, adding a touch of understated elegance. As a stylist, I’d recommend pairing it with a mix of textured bedding such as knitted throws or velvet cushions to create subtle contrast. It’s also ideal for layering with other shades of grey or pastel tones for a calm, coordinated bedroom scheme. Practical styling tips include keeping the pillowcases neatly pressed to highlight their crisp finish, and mixing them with patterned or embroidered pillow shams for a custom, polished look. This pillowcase effortlessly combines comfort and sophistication, making it a staple for a restful and stylish bedroom.

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.
