With a rich and monumental history beginning in 1875, Liberty of London celebrates its heritage with exclusively made Liberty London products. Lovingly designed by in-house design teams, the collection of Liberty London products is known across the globe for its exquisite craftsmanship, high quality, and of course, the signature Liberty London prints.

Whilst travelling the plains of East Africa in the 1920s, Liberty buyer William Hayes Dorell discovered curious cotton fibers close to Lake Tana that sparked his imagination. Back on home soil, the silk-like threads were spun into lustrous form, screen printed with brilliant ink, and turned into a material that would change the textile industry forevermore. It was, of course, Tana Lawn.

Nearly a hundred years on, Tana Lawn has come to be recognized as a unique part of Liberty heritage. To this day, the bolts of fabric stacked in our haberdashery department are the product of a bespoke production process: hand-drawn by our in-house design team, screen printed in our factory a stone’s throw from Lake Como and cared for by skilled technicians who oversee the production of over 150 different designs.

FABRIC OF THE FUTURE
Pure finishing without the use of crease-resisting chemicals or irritating allergens completes a production process that is rigorously quality controlled at every stage. The resulting Tana Lawn is a famous masterpiece of fabric technology: fine, cool, comfortable and durable, with brilliant reproduction of our lustrous prints. Today, Tana Lawn is a process of continual improvement; a living, breathing thing that continually evolves as we refine our methods and work with new technologies.

CONSTRUCTING AN ICON
Tana Lawn is unique: a fabric made from specially selected ultra-fine long staple cotton, woven from 70 and 100 ply yearns, with exclusive and superior qualities that have elevated Tana to its iconic status. Once woven, Tana is subjected to a lengthy series of preparations. Scouring and bleaching are followed by a process of mercerization which swells the fibers of the cotton, enhancing handle and luster, and stabilizing the fabric finish. Mercerization also increases dye absorption in the rotary screen printing that follows, allowing this fine fabric to carry color and print magnificently.
