Price History
Description
Bring bold, artistic flair to your home with this cotton-linen blend cushion from MM Linen. It's designed in a rectangular shape with a feather filling for a luxuriously plush, sink-in feel. The digital print features large-scale flowers and foliage in pretty colours. A fringed trim adds extra texture to this piece.
Our Stylist Says
I love this MM Linen cushion for its versatile, fresh pattern and tactile mix of textures. It works particularly well in eclectic, boho or casual modern interiors, adding colour without overwhelming the space. The embroidered floral design lends a touch of softness, while the contrasting green border brings a relaxed, approachable feel. For styling, consider layering it with neutral-toned cushions on a sofa for a lift of colour or using it as a statement piece on a bed in a guest room. Practical tip: mix it with other cushions in different sizes and textures to create a curated, lived-in look that’s both inviting and stylish.

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.
