Liberty has more than doubled the size of its famed fabric department.
The London store’s department has been enlarged from 1,927sqft to 4,630sqft, with more than 2,500 fabrics on display.
‘Making has become a modern expression of luxury because it offers something increasingly rare: originality. From a bespoke dress to a handcrafted quilt, making has become a modern expression of luxury because it offers something increasingly rare: originality,’ says Lydia King, Liberty md of retail.
‘As one of Liberty’s founding categories, Fabrics has always been central to our identity, and this investment allows us to build on that heritage while creating a destination unlike anything else in central London.
‘We hope to have created a space designed to inspire the next generation of makers, designers and creatives.’
The new space also features large art installations by Miranda Sinclair, Liberty’s artist in residence, creative director. The retailer will launch a programme of workshops later this year.
