Description
Add a touch of cottage style to your interiors with this linen-rich valance from Piglet in Bed. Its gathered skirt and neat fit give any sleeping space a charming refresh. This style features the brand's signature gingham pattern. Each Piglet in Bed valance has a 38cm drop from the base to the floor.
Our Stylist Says
I love this bed linen valance for its charming gingham pattern and versatile blue tones, making it a great choice for creating a cosy, country-inspired look. It works particularly well in relaxed, traditional or cottage-style interiors, where layered bedding and soft textiles are key. Practical styling tips include pairing it with crisp white or muted blue bedding to keep the look fresh or adding in textured accessories like wicker baskets or woven throws for added warmth. Since it drapes gently over the base of the bed, it’s ideal for hiding under-bed storage or simply softening the overall aesthetic without overwhelming the room's layout.

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.
