Introducing Spring 2025

This post is rather late as I have been enjoying Costa Del Cornwall and trying to make the most of the glorious sunshine. Last week we launched our Spring 2025 collection which included two new Liberty fabrics and plenty of fun cushions and quilts with stripy trims. We have kept the collection small with lots of coordinating pieces that also work well with our classic range of Liberty prints and linens. I was lucky enough to work with stylist Fliss (Ottistyling) and Rob-got-it-in-one-shot Heron in our home in Cornwall. We literally turned a tiny corner of my sitting room into a little studio using large MDF boards painted in peachy pink.

Liberty fabrics ‘Annabella - Blue’ and ‘Colleen’s Orchard’ have been introduced for Spring 2025. ‘Annabella’, a classic 1930s floral print, redrawn from a tiny fabric swatch into an all-over pattern of mixed flowers. This particular version features a beautiful colour pallet of blues and reds. We think this print co-ordinates well with Liberty fabric ‘Poppy and Daisy Blue’ and have combined the fabrics in a stunning quilt with a small ruffle in blue stripe cotton. We have also created a very fancy double ruffle cushion which includes these dainty and delicious liberty fabrics. Annabella Blue would also look beautiful combined with our striped linen in Seaside Stripe. For a gorgeous bedding set why not combine a valance or fitted sheet in Seaside Stripes with a duvet set in Annabella Blue.

‘Colleens Orchard’ is part of Liberty of London’s ‘Retold’ Collection that celebrates 150 years of the iconic brand. The print captures the essence of summer with juicy cherries strewn across leafy branches in a pretty pallet of pink, green and yellow. We love this pretty print mixed up with pink and green stripey cushions. The collection includes a fabulous reversible quilt in ‘Colleens Orchard’ and ‘Mitsi Valeria’ for a pop of sugary pink. We would suggest combining Colleen’s Orchard with pieces made from Liberty fabric ‘Poppy and Daisy Pink’ as well as our green stripe linen' ‘Wimbledon’

Our fabulous new bolsters deserve a mention here. Handmade from premium cotton in giant blue checks and green stripe they are a great addition to your cushion collection and particularly good for cranky old back pain!

Planning prettiness : Poppy and Honesty Spring/ Summer 2020.

My imposter syndrome runs far too deep to describe myself as a designer. In my mind, this title refers to the couturiers of high fashion and creators of amphibious cars (yes they exist) and hover boards (it wont be long). I find pretty fabrics and put them together to make them look even prettier.

When I begin to plan a new collection, I think about it in the same way as interior design : How do I want it to feel? For our winter collection, I wanted to create the feeling of being warm, cosy and cocooning and I hoped to achieve this by using rich earthy colours and textures such as crumpled linen and velvet. In contrast, I wanted our latest collection to feel easy- breezy, fun and fresh by using stripes, florals and ginghams, like a candy coloured pick and mix.

Bedding in Suzy Stripe

Suzy Stripe

Suzy Stripe reminded me of the seaside and as a Cornish based business we just had to include it into our collection : it’s pastel stripes are reminiscent of beach huts, deck chairs and sticks of rock. Suzy Stripe has a classic vintage feel which combines perfectly with our floral prints. Lumbar cushions, pillowcases, bedding sets and fitted sheets are all available in Suzy Stripe.

Penzance

Distinguished by it’s checkered pattern, gingham conjures up memories of summer school uniforms, Dorothy from Oz and classic table cloths. With its timeless charm, I though ‘Penzance’ would sit well amongst the nostalgic Liberty of London floral prints in our collection. The vibrant mustard and white check is fresh, fun and full of sunshine. Pillowcases and fitted sheets are currently available in Penzance.

Pillowcases in Penzance, Suzy Stripe, Capel and Felicite

Felicite

The delicate rose trail pattern was designed for Liberty of London in 1933. ‘Felicite’ is part of the Liberty Classics Collection in 1979 which included re- worked and re-coloured interpretations of Liberty’s most iconic prints. With its tones of peach, orange and lemon, this particular version of Felicite felt perfect for our summer collection. Pillowcases, bedding sets and fitted sheets are currently available in Liberty of London Tana Lawn cotton ‘Felicite.’

Betsy in Pink

Also part of the Liberty Classic’s Collection,’ Betsy’is a well known icon from the Liberty of London archive. This beautiful re-worked and re-coloured print was launched in 2019 in a soft pallet of rose pinks and sage green. As it is available in a linen base, we felt it would be the perfect print for our day bed mattresses. Bedding sets, pillowcases and fitted sheets are also available in Liberty of London Tana Lawn Cotton ‘Betsy’ in pink.

As I work alone for much of the time, I am always so very grateful for your feedback. I find it incredibly difficult to be thinking a season ahead, at this time of year I want to wrap myself in sheepskins, drink cocoa and cover the house in fairy lights. Whenever spring decides to make an appearance, Poppy and Honesty is ready and waiting with an array of stripy, gingham and floral gorgeousness.
