Price History
Description
This pure cotton bedding set is made from linen-look crepe fabric for a lightweight feel. It features a contrast reverse side and Oxford trims on the duvet cover and pillows for an elegant look. Button fastenings on the duvet cover keep everything in place.
Our Stylist Says
I love this bedding set for its understated elegance and versatile look-perfect for creating a calm, inviting bedroom. The natural mix of tones makes it easy to layer with various textures and colours, whether you're leaning towards a minimalist, Scandi-inspired scheme or a more eclectic, cosy vibe. The crepe fabric adds subtle visual interest through its textured surface, preventing the bedding from appearing flat. Practical styling tips include pairing it with neutral or earthy-toned cushions and throws to enhance its relaxed sophistication, and it works well in both modern and traditional interiors. Since it’s cotton, it’s also a practical option for everyday use, offering comfort and breathability.

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.
