Price History
Description
Add eye-catching florals to your room with these William Morris At Home pillowcases. They're crafted from luxurious 250 thread count cotton sateen and feature the intricate Cray design, originally created by William Morris in 1884. Large stems and peony-like blooms intertwine with curling foliage in rich tones. A forest green Oxford edge frames the pattern, while the reverse features the Borage print in coordinating cranberry red.
Our Stylist Says
The William Morris at Home 2-pack is a great choice for adding a touch of classic pattern and colour to a bedroom. I love how the green mix complements both traditional and contemporary interiors, making it versatile for various schemes. These pillowcases work particularly well in bedrooms with rich textures or antique furnishings, but they can also add a refined layer to more modern, minimalist spaces when paired with neutral bedding. A practical styling tip is to pair them with plain white or cream bedlinen to let the vibrant pattern shine, and use the green accents as a colour reference in other accessories like cushions or throws for a cohesive look. Overall, they’re an elegant and durable addition to any bed, lending a timeless charm to your space.

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.
