The history of Laura Ashley
It was in 1953 that married couple Bernard and Laura Ashley founded their company by hand-printing fabrics at their kitchen table after being inspired by a Women’s Institute exhibition at the V&A museum. It only cost them £10 to invest in wood for a screen, fabric and dyes to get their project off the ground. And their design skills they learned from library books.
The following year, the first Laura Ashley tea towels were produced. And in 1957, thanks to the growing success of the gardening apron, Laura Ashley produced overalls and sold them in the thousands. That was when exports started to Europe, the US and Australia.
In 1962, Laura Ashley employed its first fashion designer, resulting in the brand introducing its first dresses (including a Victorian-inspired nightdress). Cut to 1981, when the company introduced its first product catalogue with no fewer than 72 pages printed in four languages (English, French, German and Dutch).
In 2000, Laura Ashley launched its website and introduced clients to the wonder of online shopping, whether it’s for furniture, dresses, etc.
The Laura Ashley story still continues in 2021, with the brand partnering with NEXT to reintroduce its home collection online, as well as in various UK stores in spring 2021.
