Description
A delicate leaf print lends a heritage-inspired feel to this Baroque pillowcase by V&A. The classic Oxford design is crafted from smooth pure cotton percale with a luxurious 200 thread count. The stylised pattern is based on those used by French textile designer J.D Cornuaud in the 1860s, which form part of the V&A's Prints and Drawings archive. Pair with other items from the range for a coordinated look. Matching items available
Our Stylist Says
I love this duvet cover for its classic, timeless appeal-its indigo mix design adds just the right amount of colour without overpowering a room. It works particularly well in traditional or coastal-inspired bedrooms, where its crisp cotton percale fabric brings in a fresh, clean feel. Practical styling tips include pairing it with neutral or white bedding to let the pattern stand out, or layering with textured throws for added comfort. It’s versatile enough to style in both contemporary and heritage interiors, making it a smart choice for those who want quality and style that will last.

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.
