Turning the spotlight on carefully curated arrangements, this dynamic print sets the tone for refined events of the season. This print is part of the Regency Bouquet chapter of the Liberty Fabrics & Bridgerton collection – inspired by the lavish costumes, formal soirées, and lively garden parties depicted in the series, these vividly exuberant blooms are characterised by a sense of realism.

    Our Tana Lawn™ cotton is a fabric built by obsession, perfected into a modern masterpiece of production through a bespoke process that has evolved over a century. Printed in our very own Liberty Printing Mill, located between Milan and Lake Como in northern Italy, Tana realises unmatchable fluidity with a silk-like touch, unique print quality and striking colour vibrancy. Machine washable and durable enough for daily wear, it can be used to create everything from simple separates to spectacular statement pieces.
