To give you a bit of history about Liberty, it first opened its doors in 1875, in London, selling oriental silks and objects from the east.  Soon after, Liberty began creating it's own high quality silks and fabrics, and became quite the trendsetter with the Arts and Crafts Movement and Art Noveau style of the time.  It's first store was located on Regent street, but having outgrown it in 1925, was moved to its present location-a beautiful Tudor building on Great Marlborough Street.  It's quite different from that of the modern 'department store' in that the interior is dark and intimate.  You won't hear piped music playing here.  This store harkens back to an 'old-world' feel, all whilst shopping for the newest and most stylish merchandise and accessories.

So, until we can all jetset off to the fabulous UK for a little piece of London history, we can thank Target for bringing it here!    Another alternative for those who are feeling crafty would be to buy the fabric at Tessuti Fabrics.  A little out of our price range right this moment, but definitely on olive's proverbial wish list.

Cheers!
