Price History
Description
This textured throw brings subtle elegance to any living space. Crafted from soft polyester with a luxurious chenille finish, it provides an extra layer of comfort for your sofa or bed. The distinctive fringed edges add classic charm, while the textured design creates visual interest that complements various interior styles.
Our Stylist Says
I love the soft textured throw because it adds both cosy comfort and subtle visual interest to any space. Its neutral biscuit colour makes it versatile, ideal for layering over neutral sofas or beds to bring warmth without overpowering the room’s colour palette. It works particularly well in relaxed, contemporary interiors, but can also add a plush touch to more traditional or minimalist themes. Practical styling tips include folding it neatly over the end of a sofa or bed for a casual yet curated look, or draping it loosely for a laid-back, inviting feel. Its soft texture also invites touch, making it perfect for adding a tactile dimension to your living 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.
