Laura Ashley, one of the world’s best loved fashion and home furnishings companies, came from humble beginnings. Starting with textiles printed on her kitchen table in the 1950’s, the British designer and her husband Bernard found early success combining her eye for fashion and ability to spot a trend with his drive and business acumen. Through the years, Laura Ashley’s love for all things Victorian led to the classic silhouettes and iconic prints which would become the company’s trademark.

As the business grew and expanded, Laura Ashley achieved international renown for her signature fashions and later on, for her home furnishings inspired by the English countryside. The brand was one of the first to offer a true lifestyle approach to home décor in the American market which helped to establish its strong and iconic identity here.

A steady flow of high quality, beautiful products has forged a consumer loyalty that ranks it among the top brands in consumer recognition to this day. Laura Ashley’s English heritage continues to influence its success. New designs are continually being created by a talented and vibrant design studio in London and signature patterns are updated in contemporary styles and fresh colors throughout all product lines to appeal to the modern consumer.

Laura Ashley designs continue to appeal to a broad audience of all ages and it continues to be a true “destination brand” wherever it is sold.
