Published to mark the 150th anniversary of the founding of Liberty, this book celebrates the extraordinary range of innovative fabric designs that have been at the forefront of the business and its global reputation for well over a century.

Liberty - an icon of design innovation and luxury - is renowned internationally for fabric designs on silk, wool, cashmere and, most famously,

Tana Lawn Cotton™. Gathered here are 150 of the most striking and significant Liberty patterns, ranging from much-loved florals to bold and abstract designs and contemporary collaborations.

Published to mark Liberty's 150th anniversary, this beautifully produced book places fabrics in the context of the store's wider design history - from the retailer's remarkable Tudor-revival building to posters, advertising and branding. It presents the very latest examples of Liberty design alongside prints, drawings and samples from the company's outstanding archive, telling an inspiring, century-long story of manufacturing quality and design excellence.
