Description
Bring a regal feel to your interior with this faux silk tapered shade. It's made in a pleated design and is available in six colours. The shade is suitable for use with both pendant light fittings and lamp bases and can be used with an M&S lighting kit.
Our Stylist Says
This faux silk pleated shade in soft Duck Egg is a versatile pick that works well in both traditional and contemporary interiors. I love how the pleated design adds a subtle texture, creating interest without overpowering the space. It’s a great choice for living rooms or bedrooms where a touch of colour and elegance is desired. To style it effectively, consider pairing it with neutral or pastel colour schemes for a calming feel, or mix with metallic accents, like in the image, for a more luxe vibe. Practical tip: use simple, understated lamp bases to keep the focus on the shade’s lovely fabric and colour-perfect for adding a sophisticated yet understated finishing touch to your lighting.

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.
