My Favorite department store in the world has to be Liberty of London. This iconic store has been synonymous with great design since it opened the doors of the famous Tudor Building on Regent Street over 100 years ago.

To this day Liberty is an essential stop on any trip that I take to London. The minute you see the beautiful “wild at heart” flowers being sold at the front entrance you know you are entering a special place. The store has such a homely feel as you navigate all the different rooms and discover new and exciting treasures. Of course no trip is complete without visiting the upper floors to view all the amazing Liberty fabrics.

Liberty’s beautiful patterned fabrics have been in production since the late 1800’s when the founder Arthur Liberty started hand printing silks imported from India. To this day new designs are being added in two seasonal collections each year. Always inspired by the arts and crafts ( the famous art movement that was embraced by Arthur himself ), recent collections include “Liberty Rocks” and “Flower show”, inspired by flowers from the Chelsea Flower Show in London.
