Behind the scenes - the making of our Liberty Tana Cotton lawn
At Clementine & Co we LOVE Liberty.
Famous world wide, Liberty of London's printed Tana Cotton Lawns have a sense of nostalgia, yet somehow their beauty translates across generations & decades, defying trends & time.
Being a complete history (nerd ) lover, I enjoyed researching about this beautiful fabric from which our Clementine & Co
cushions & napkins are made….
Tana Cotton Lawn today.…
The Liberty design team produce seasonal ranges of over 100 beautiful fabrics, inspired by, and in keeping with Liberty tradition. The designs are initially hand drawn, often archival floral and botanical prints, in delectable, rich and vivid colours. harking back to the 1920s and the birth of Tana Cotton Lawn.. Some of the designs are now computer generated, Liberty prioritise, utilise and research modern technology in their design & printing processes.. Not dissimilar to their predecessors discovering and creating the new and beautiful fabrics of their day.
Long gone is the laboured process of hand block printing, the Tana Cotton Lawn designs we use for our range at Clementine & Co, are screen printed in Italy, a stone’s throw from Lake Como, by skilled technicians who meticulously oversee their production.
At Clementine & Co we love the quality, care and history evident in each of the fabrics we use.
I thought you may like to watch a ‘behind the scenes’ production of Liberty Tana Cotton Lawn, in the video below, I hope you find the printing process as mesmerising as I do !
The durability of our favourite fabric, Tana Cotton Lawn, coupled with Liberty’s timeless designs, creates heirloom quality pieces in our range .
To be passed on from generation to generation, such has been the textile tradition in families for centuries .
At Clementine & Co we believe by seeking something beautifully crafted in a quality fabric that you love, will in turn continue this tradition.
