Pretty in Print, Part 3

Pretty in Print, Part 3

At the risk of making you all reach for your (Betsy-covered) buckets, I couldn’t leave Liberty mania alone without taking a stroll around Etsy for some inspiration. There’s a lot to be said (and celebrated) about some of the small designer/makers/mums at home who sell their handmade wares online, and there’s a whole lot of Tana Lawn love happening right now around the world. Here are my top Liberty print picks:

Nadinoo’s collection of frocks, tops and playsuits (see top of page) is fresh and flirty, with feminine details like exaggerated ruffles and retro-inspired cuts.

There’s nothing subtle at about Jennifer Loiselle’s gloriously girlish (and slightly bonkers) bonbon headbands, which feature super-sized pleated bows in Liberty’s Betsy fabric.

And I’m still rather taken by Sareypoppins’ line-up of vintage-style clasp purses, clutches and lavender sausage dogs, all beautifully made in a selection of Liberty fabrics.

p.s. Remember Liberty's fash mob I wrote about last week? Take a look at the floral-swathed winners!

These are wonderful. Liberty prints are so beautiful and so distinctive, I can’t get enough of them. And I particularly love the floral print on the Carnaby Street entrance of the Liberty store: it looks fresh, modern, quirky – all the things one expect Liberty to be. It’s a brand that’s always been on the side of the craftswoman/man since Liberty & Co. Fab.
