<strong>Liberty</strong> is world-renowned for its prints and patterns. With its own archive of over 43,000 original<br />
prints, sketches, and swatches; they are constantly revisiting, reimagining and adding to the<br />
collection. More than 120 new prints and patterns are created annually, with inspiration drawn<br />
from collaborations with artists, writers, craftsmen, architects, and illustrators. In 2015, <strong>Liberty</strong><br />
celebrated its 140 th birthday with the launch of a new pattern called Mayflower. Ultimately their<br />
passion lays in inspiring creativity and championing great design.<br />
The traditional techniques of hand drawing are still used by the <strong>Liberty</strong> design Studio. Iconic<br />
florals and paisleys, graphic geometrics and colourful conversational are created using pencil,<br />
paint, ink and wash, crayon, printing and computer aided design techniques. Crucially, and at the<br />
heart of the process are the high standards of design, engraving and printing established under<br />
Arthur <strong>Liberty</strong> over a century ago.<br />

The designs of the <strong>Liberty</strong> design Studio are offered on a wide range of premium quality cloths<br />
including cotton, wool blends, silk, denim, and fleexe. <strong>Liberty</strong> Tana Lawn is globally regarded as<br />
