Price History
Description
Enliven your sofa or bed with this cotton-linen blend cushion from MM Linen. It's made in a square shape with a luxurious feather filling that offers a plush sink-in feel. The digital print features pretty hydrangeas, which help capture the calming feeling of walking through a garden in the fresh breeze.
Our Stylist Says
I love the MM Linen Piccadilly Cushion in multi for its fresh, botanical print that brings a touch of nature indoors. It works particularly well in relaxed, country-style interiors or as a refreshing accent in more modern spaces. The multi-coloured floral pattern makes it versatile for mixing and matching with solid tones or other patterned textiles. As a styling tip, layer a few different sizes of these cushions on a neutral sofa or bed to create a cosy, layered look. It’s also easy to update different seasons by swapping in cushions with varying textures or colours, but the enduring floral print keeps this one a versatile choice all year round.

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.
