Gail’s Vintage Velvet, inspired by Ladybird Books art

The new Chesham Cabinet Collection, featuring fabrics and wallpapers created using original Ladybird Books illustrations, is now available from Liberty London.

Ladybird highlights include the Limewood Wallpapers, Gail’s Garden Vintage Velvet fabrics and cushions, and the Charlotte Wallpaper in Catherine Cream.

The Chesham Cabinet Collection is a new interiors collection inspired by antique doll and cabinet houses from the 1800s and beyond. The elegant colour palettes and diverse print combinations draw on their distinctive, period interiors. It features series of innovative prints created in-house, from stunning archive documents and interesting collaborations.
