Price History
Description
This Heritage Gingham duvet cover from Piglet In Bed layers rich checks across a European flax linen base for a lived in look. Coconut shell buttons close the cover neatly at one end, and handy inside corner ties stop the duvet from slipping. The pure linen fabric stays lightweight yet durable, softening further with wear.
Our Stylist Says
I love the Piglet In Bed linen for its understated charm-its taupe gingham pattern adds a subtle, country-inspired touch that works beautifully in both classic and modern interiors. It’s ideal for creating a relaxed, cosy feel, especially in bedrooms with neutral or muted colour schemes. For styling, pair it with simple, solid-coloured bedding and add textured cushions or throws in complementary shades to elevate the look. This duvet cover also lends itself well to layered bedding, so try mixing it with natural linen or brushed cotton sheets for added comfort and visual interest without overpowering the calm, laid-back vibe.

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.
