Liberty London Buying Guide 2026: The 6 Best Print Buys

Betsy is the print people picture when they think of Liberty, and the duvet set puts it where you will see it every day. The double is a 200 by 200cm cover with two standard 50 by 75cm pillowcases, in 100% Tana Lawn cotton percale with contrast piping and Liberty-branded buttons. It was designed in Liberty’s studio, printed at its mill in Italy and made there, and it washes at 40°C with a low tumble dry.

The weaknesses are price and evidence. Even at the reduced £236 it costs several times a high-street set, and its page had no customer reviews when we checked, so there is no owner feedback on how the lawn wears. Tana Lawn is a fine, light cotton, so expect a cool, soft bed rather than a crisp, heavy one.

Tana Lawn is the reason Liberty matters, and the product pages give dressmakers what they need: 100% cotton, 1.36m wide on the roll with 1.33m usable, 76g per square metre, wash at 40°C and line dry. Anna’s Haven is part of the autumn/winter 2026 collection, a dense garden of roses, foxgloves, hollyhocks and poppies in the manner of Dame Elizabeth Blackadder, based on a Liberty scarf design from 1971.

It was £25.60 a metre when we checked, reduced from £32, and a dress takes several metres. The bigger risk is the colour, which you are judging on a screen. In the store, cut lengths of fabric cannot be returned at all, and online terms exclude anything made to your order, so order a small length first if you are unsure.

For quilters and anyone making small things (scrunchies, bunting, a cushion front), a bundle beats a single metre. This one is five pieces of Tana Lawn, each roughly 136cm by 40cm, in a pink colourway of assorted prints from the archive, printed at the Liberty mill in Italy. It was £23.96 when we checked, reduced from £29.95, which makes it less per piece than any single print by the metre.

The catch is in the word assorted. You do not choose the prints, so the bundle you receive may not match the photograph, and the pieces are too narrow for most garments. Its product page had no reviews to go on. Buy it for patchwork, not for a particular pattern you have fallen for.

Strawberry Thief is a William Morris design of 1883 that Liberty has sold since 1979, and on velvet the colours are deep and rich. The cushion is 45cm square with a removable cover on an invisible zip and a 100% duck-feather pad, and it was printed in Italy. When we checked it was £115.50, down from £165.

Read the label before it goes near a family sofa. The cover is 49% cotton, 46% viscose and 5% polyester, and the care line says delicate dry clean only: do not wash, do not tumble dry. A spilt drink or a muddy dog means a trip to the cleaner, and viscose velvet can mark. There were no customer reviews on the page to say how it wears.

This is the Liberty present that gets used. The box is covered in cotton printed with Lodden, an archive design, and measures 18 by 25cm and 13cm deep, with sections for thread, scissors and the rest. It was £47.96 when we checked, reduced from £59.95. All six reviews on its page gave five stars, praising the size, the light weight and the handle.

The one complaint came from the most detailed of those reviews: an owner whose earlier box had a flimsy plastic interior, which she says has since improved, and who wished the trays were sold separately. The outer is spot clean only, so keep it away from tea. Liberty also sells matching pin cushions, scissors and tape measures, which one reviewer suggests putting inside as a gift.

Stationery is the easiest way to give someone a Liberty print, and the cotton-bound notebooks are the nicest of it. This one is a 144-page A5 hardback (21 by 15.5cm) with a printed ribbon bookmark and a gold-tone stamped logo, covered in Tana Lawn printed with Painted Travels, which Liberty’s studio drew from the Victorian botanical painter Marianne North. It was £25.56 when we checked, reduced from £31.95.

Check the pages before you buy: this version is blank, and there is a separate lined version under its own listing. A fabric cover also shows marks that a laminated one would shrug off, and there were no reviews on the page. It is a lot for a notebook, but a present rather than a purchase.
