Price History
Description
Introduce one of Morris’s most iconic designs to your bedroom with these pure cotton sateen pillowcases from William Morris At Home. The Strawberry Thief print was inspired by thrushes stealing fruit from Morris’s garden at Kelmscott Manor. Rich blue and mineral green tones evoke a dreamy nighttime sky, while a 4cm Oxford edge provides an elegant finish.
Our Stylist Says
These William Morris pillowcases are a fantastic choice for adding a touch of timeless pattern and colour to both traditional and contemporary interiors. The midnight strawberry thief print in light blue works particularly well in bedrooms with a calming colour palette, pairing effortlessly with soft neutrals or darker hues for contrast. I love how these pillowcases can be styled as the main feature or layered with plain or subtly patterned bedding to create visual interest. Practical tips include pairing them with crisp white sheets for a fresh look, or mixing with textured fabrics like linen or velvet for a cosy, curated feel. They’re versatile enough to enhance a classic country look or add a refined touch to more modern settings.

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.
