Description
With their room-darkening lining, the Audley curtains from MADE help you sleep just that little bit longer at night. They have a soft velour texture and a contrast edge which gives a rich, premium look. A hidden tab top makes for seamless hanging.
Our Stylist Says
These pink velour curtains are a versatile choice for adding a soft, cosy touch to various interiors. I love their subtle, pastel hue, which works particularly well in bedrooms and living rooms aiming for a gentle, relaxed vibe. The velour fabric adds a touch of luxe while also providing good insulation and light-blocking. For styling, I recommend pairing these curtains with neutral or slightly darker tones to create contrast, or with blush and gold accents for a more luxe feel. They look especially good in rooms with satin or velvet elements to create a tactile, layered look. Practical tip: their eyelet design makes them easy to open and close, perfect for everyday use.

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.
