Prints<br />

<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 />

Fabrics<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 />

the best fine cotton in the world. Introduced by <strong>Liberty</strong> after the First World War, Tana Lawn is<br />

constructed from long staple cotton fibres sourced from Egypt, woven into compact, fine, and<br />

strong cloth with a beautifully smooth surface that is ideal for printing. Showcasing two collections<br />
