Price History
Description
Bring a distinctive touch to your space with these pure cotton curtains from the William Morris at Home collection. This pencil pleat pair features Morris' iconic Strawberry Thief pattern, inspired by the gardens of Kelmscott Manor and depicting birds pecking at ripe fruit. A contrasting lining has the designer's Willow Bough pattern in a natural colourway for a timeless look.
Our Stylist Says
These William Morris curtains are a fantastic choice for adding a touch of classic pattern and colour to a living room or bedroom. I love how they bring a vintage-inspired, yet versatile, aesthetic, especially thanks to the rich blue mix which pairs well with neutral tones or pastel palettes. They work particularly well in traditional or cottage-style interiors, but can also add a charming contrast within more modern spaces. As they are pencil pleat, they offer a tidy, tailored look and are easy to adjust for light control and privacy. For styling tips, consider pairing them with understated furniture and accessories to let the pattern be the focal point, or layer with textured cushions and throws for a cosy, inviting feel.

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.
