"Do you know that feeling – you touch a fabric and immediately know: This is something really special?"

That's exactly how Tana Lawn™ from Liberty London feels – a fabric so fine and elegant that you almost forget it is made from 100% cotton. And no, this is not a marketing gimmick, but real textile magic with history: Named after the Ethiopian Lake Tana, this fabric has been made from particularly long-staple cotton fibers since the 1930s – for a finish that almost resembles silk.

Tana Lawn™ is the result of over a hundred years of innovation and true textile passion. The fabric is produced in the in-house Liberty printing house in Northern Italy – using a bespoke process designed for maximum color brilliance, unique print quality, and a silky, flowing feel. The result: a modern classic that not only looks stunning but is also machine washable and robust enough for everyday use.

"Why do we love Tana Lawn™ so much? Because it can do just about everything:"

• Composition: 100% cotton (but you'll swear it's silk!)

• Width: 1.36 m (finished) / 1.33 m (usable)

• Weight: 76 g/m² – ultra-light, without being flimsy

• Care: Washable at 40°C – no drama when washing. Just do not put in the dryer. 

'What you can sew from it? Almost everything – and everything will be special:'

• Mode: Blouses, shirts, summer dresses, or pajamas with that certain wow effect

• Accessories: Scrunchies, scarves, hairbands, small pouches – everything that should be pretty and fine.

• Home-Decor: Cushion covers, table runners, even bed linen for the luxury version
