Price History
Description
This pure Egyptian cotton valance features crisp pleated corners for an elegant, polished look. The 230-thread-count fabric is soft, breathable and cool against your skin, with StayNEW™ technology for easy care. Its deep design means the sheet meets the floor, concealing any under-bed storage. A non-iron finish makes them easy to care for.
Our Stylist Says
I love the M&S pure Egyptian cotton valance as it offers a clean, polished look with its soft clay tone-perfect for creating a calm and understated bedroom. It works particularly well in modern or minimalist interiors where a subtle colour palette is key, but it can also add a touch of sophistication to more traditional spaces. For styling, I recommend pairing it with crisp white or neutral bedding and adding textured cushions or throws for visual interest. Its soft cotton fabric drapes beautifully and is practical too, as it’s easy to wash and maintain, making it a lovely finishing touch to any well-designed bed.

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.
