Liberty Fabrics
Founded in 1875 by Arthur Liberty on London’s famous Regent Street, Liberty of London quickly became synonymous with luxurious textiles, particularly its now-iconic printed silks and cottons. By the 1890s, Liberty had gained a reputation across Europe as the go-to destination for avant-garde textile design, inspiring artists, makers, and fashion houses alike. That legacy continues today with themed collections like the romantic Liberty Fabrics x Bridgerton range, or festive favourites from the Liberty Fabrics Christmas Collection.
Today, the magic of Liberty lives on. Each fabric begins life in the Liberty design studio in Soho, London, where an expert team of designers carefully hand-draw or paint each print. These are then brought to life at Liberty’s dedicated printing mill in northern Italy, near Lake Como, a region with a rich heritage in textile manufacturing. Here, over 300 exquisite designs are produced each year using both traditional and advanced techniques.
From delicate florals and classic paisleys to bold geometrics and reimagined heritage prints like Ciara and Capel, Liberty Fabrics are celebrated for their exceptional softness, vibrant print clarity, and signature Tana Lawn Cotton, a lightweight, finely woven fabric that feels like silk yet offers the practicality of easy washing and long-lasting wear.
Liberty’s design legacy pairs perfectly with our Clothkits ethos: beautiful, practical fabrics that make sewing joyful and accessible. The moment you lay hands on a Liberty print, you’ll see why it’s adored by makers across the globe. It’s the kind of fabric that sparks ideas and brings sewing rooms to life.
