Price History
Description
Celebrate the Platinum Jubilee with this embroidered bolster cushion. This embellished cushion comes with a palace guards on patrol design and a pom pom trim for that finishing touch.
Our Stylist Says
I love this cushion for adding a touch of regal charm to a variety of interiors. Its embroidered Queen's Guards design makes it especially suitable for traditional or eclectic schemes, where it can serve as an eye-catching accent. The blue mix colour palette is versatile, working well in both neutral and more colourful settings, and it pairs nicely with other rich textures and patterns. For styling, consider placing it amidst plain or patterned throws or textiles to highlight its details, and it works well on sofas, armchairs, or even beds to bring in a hint of patriotic flair with a sophisticated twist. It’s practical yet playful, making it an easy way to inject personality into your 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.
