History
Arthur Lasenby Liberty first opened the Liberty store on Regent Street in London on May 15, 1875, selling imported ornaments, textiles and artefacts from the East. Liberty’s wish was to influence the public’s taste by giving them the opportunity to buy beautiful and otherwise unattainable things.

Liberty Fabrics
Due the success of the imported fabrics, Liberty set up an in-house design studio to produce its own eclectic range of designs. Now Liberty Fabrics has been designing and printing fabrics for over 140 years. Internationally recognised as a leader in print design and textile innovation, the in-house design team continues to create new and original prints each season.

Design Studio
Based in Soho, London, the Liberty Design Studio creates a new collection of up to 40 original designs each season. Inspired by Art, Architecture, History, Music, Flora, Fauna. Each collection is themed and tells a unique story.

Artwork
The Liberty Design Studio is committed to using traditional methods of design. Each design is created by hand using a variation of techniques: paint, pencil, ink as well as specialist computer textile packages.

Design
Liberty Fabrics are renowned for their fine detail, intricate pattern and original Liberty colour palettes.

Fabric
Liberty’s iconic floral and paisleys, geometrics and colourful conversationals are translated onto the finest textiles and innovative cloths.

Archive
The archive has over 50,000 designs dating back to early 18th century. Many of Liberty’s fabrics were traditionally printed using wood blocks

The Emporium Collection
Lasenby Quilting Cotton
The latest quilting collection from Liberty Fabrics is inspired by the historic architecture and interiors of Liberty’s iconic London flagship store. The Emporium Collection’s eclectic mix of floral, paisley and geometric designs draw from ornately carved wooden details, hand-crafted tilework, and the flagship’s beautiful flower stall. The collection is available in three distinct colour stories, perfect for the modern interior. Each colour story reflects a different facet of the magnificent store. Regal blue and mustard give a nod to the tiled interiors, while an exuberant multicolour story is inspired by the oriental rug room. Finally, a monochromatic colour story is balanced with soft pink highlights, paying homage to Liberty’s timbered exterior. View the collection here.

The Carnaby Collection
Lasenby Quilting Cotton

Influenced by a colourful patchwork that was painted on Carnaby Street’s pavement during the 1970s, prints reflect the free-spirited, optimistic mood of that era – the magical landscape of Sunny Afternoon creates a psychedelic and colourful London park, while the hand painted, bold and simplified flower forms in Bohemian Blooms are reminiscent of Pop Art patterns.

In the 1890s, Arthur Lasenby Liberty and his wife Emma bought the Lee Manor in the historic British country of Buckinghamshire and decorated it with a carefully curated collection of objects d'art from around the world. Following a trip to Japan in 1889, the couple fell in love with the country's unparalleled artisanship, creative heritage, and natural beauty - so much so, that the young Arthur Liberty was inspired to recreate a Japanese garden of his very own, complete with a lily pond, bamboo trees, and even Japanese zen rocks. Liberty Fabrics' designers have drawn inspiration from Arthur's garden and the bloom laden trellises, tumbling blossoms, and ancient gingko trees that made his garden so special. Unwind amongst charming chyrsanthemums, marvel at dahlias in full bloom, and see cascading waterfalls passing by blossoming cherry trees. Arthur's garden is a tranquil retreat for everyone to enjoy. Meticulously hand-painted in the Liberty design studio in the heart of London, and expertly printed in the Liberty Fabrics' mill in Italy, the collection is traditionally screen printed onto Lasenby cotton, a base specifically developed for quilting and craft projects.
