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

That's exactly how Tana Lawn™ from Liberty London feels – a fabric so fine and noble that you almost forget it's made of 100% cotton. And no, this is not a marketing gimmick, but real textile magic with history: Named after Ethiopia's Lake Tana, this fabric has been made since the 1930s from especially long-staple cotton fibers – 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 Liberty’s in-house printing factory in Northern Italy – with a tailored process designed for the highest color brilliance, unique print quality, and a silky, flowing feel. The result: a modern classic that not only looks dreamy but is also machine washable and robust enough for everyday use.

Why do we love Tana Lawn™ so much? Because it can do 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 don’t put it in the dryer. 

What can you sew from it? Almost anything – and everything becomes special:

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

• Accessories: Scrunchies, neckerchiefs, headbands, small bags – everything that should be pretty and fine

• Home decor: Cushion covers, table runners, even bedding for the luxury version

Wiltshire is an absolute classic: a small-scale berry-and-leaf pattern originally designed for Liberty in 1933. It looks playful, slightly retro, and yet totally timeless. The gently curved lines make this print an ideal candidate for projects that require movement and structure – for example, quilts with curves or appliqués. Especially great in muted tones or tone-on-tone combinations!
