Price History
Description
These pencil pleat curtains are crafted from soft velvet for a luxurious look and feel. They are made with Ultra Temperature Smart technology, which uses a Thermowarmth™ lining to keep you warm in winter and cool in summer. The lining also helps reduce light into the room, allowing you to sleep peacefully. Ultra Warmth Heat Rating: These curtains have been given our Ultra Warmth rating which means that this fabric is proven to show enhanced thermal performance helping you keep warm on the chilliest days.
Our Stylist Says
I love these velvet pencil pleat curtains for their rich, opulent look and practical thermal qualities-perfect for keeping rooms cosy and private. The bronze hue makes them a versatile choice, adding warmth and depth to both traditional and contemporary interiors. They work especially well in living rooms or bedrooms with muted or neutral palettes, where they can serve as a focal point or subtle backdrop. For styling, consider pairing them with metallic accessories or textured cushions to enhance the luxurious feel, and ensure they are hung high to give the illusion of height and space. These curtains strike a great balance between style and function, making them a reliable choice for enhancing any room.

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.
