Trend: Liberty prints for little wildflowers

Posted in Baby Clothes.

Liberty print fabrics have a timeless appeal – iconic prints from the past that will be enjoyed by generations long into the future. You’ll find the print used on sunhats, girl’s dresses, baby bibs and even shoelaces.

The bustling fabric department in the Liberty store in London has long been a sought-after destination for dressmakers and craft hobbyists wanting to buy metres of their favourite prints to use in their designs.

Liberty was a favourite of playwright and author Oscar Wilde, who penned that “Liberty is the chosen resort of the artistic shopper”. Who are we to argue? We won’t. Instead, we’ll snap up some printed goodies for our littles and continue the love for Liberty.
