Laura Ashley Fabric

Laura Ashley is a Welsh designer and manufacturer of fabrics for clothes and furnishings. Ashley started designing table mats, napkins, and tea-towels while she was serving as the secretary for the National Federation of Women’s Institutes in London. Under the home furnishing category, the company sells fabrics of two types: Drape fabric and Upholstery Fabrics. Drape Laura Ashley fabrics are available for various uses such as awnings, curtains, etc. These Laura Ashley fabrics have contemporary designs with a traditional touch. Some of the drape fabrics are woven. However, each one has a unique design and pattern that is categorised under charcoals, duck egg and blues, gold and bricks, etc.

Laura Ashley also sells PVC that is especially designed with popular patterns such as chequered, polka dots and flowered patterns. Under the category of drape fabrics the company also offers finished wallpapers that are not only appealing to eyes but are washable as well. These wallpapers are especially suited for bedrooms, ventilated kitchens and bathrooms. They can be simply wiped and cleaned with mild detergent and wet cloth, thus, leaving no stains on the wall. Some people may not prefer to have printed fabric, and so for them, Laura Ashley markets a range of plain lining Laura Ashley fabric in various colours. The Laura Ashley fabric for upholstery is offered in similar colours and patterns as the drape fabric. However, the thickness of the material is according to the upholstery standards.
