HISTORY OF LIBERTY Since 1875, Liberty has been synonymous with luxury and innovative design. This vision and spirit lives on today within the iconic London Tudor building. Arthur Lasenby Liberty was born in Chesham, Buckinghamshire in 1843. He founded Liberty at 218a Regent Street in 1874, selling ornaments, fabric and objets d'art imported from Japan and the Far East. As business grew, neighbouring properties were added. PIONEERS OF PRINT Intrinsically linked to the Aesthetic and Art Nouveau movements of the 19th- and 20th- Centuries, Liberty Art Fabrics have had a vivid imprint on textile history. A rich archive of 43,000 original prints, sketches and swatches is an inspiring chronicle of art expression over the past 140 years. Colour has played an integral role in the Liberty aesthetic since Arthur Liberty’s ground-breaking launch of colourfast dyes in ‘Liberty Colours’. From the beautiful Oriental shades, which first inspired Liberty, to the original colour palettes of the Liberty Design Studio today, Liberty Art Fabrics continue to celebrate the power of colour and print in each new textile collection. With a long history of collaborative projects—from William Morris and Gabriel Dante Rossetti in the 19th-century to Yves Saint Laurent and Dame Vivienne Westwood in the 20th—Liberty Art Fabrics embody great design. LIBERTY TODAY At Liberty, a rich heritage combines with the avant-garde in fashion, accessories, textiles, and the home to create one of the world’s unique and best-loved stores. In the words of Oscar Wilde, “Liberty is the chosen resort of the artistic shopper.” Drawing on designs from 1878 to 2013, this new stationery collection is grounded in iconic Liberty prints and infused with the same spirit of discovery that led Arthur Liberty to create his emporium so many years ago.
Libretto was founded in 1997 by Thomas Cushing to create Kate Spade Paper. A blend of illustration, storytelling and fine leather goods, that collection changed the direction of social stationery. Since then, Libretto has created many stylish stationery and accessory collections for leading design and fashion brands. Libretto’s products are distinguished by printing techniques that are ancient in origin and modern in application. Using finishes normally found in fine art printing—gilding, flocking, embossing, and others–we create extraordinary stationery at modest prices.
