Coco & Wolf Spring Summer 2021 Liberty Fabrics
Coco & Wolf’s Spring Summer collection is centred around a carefully selected array of Liberty fabrics, from classic 1930s ditsy florals to bold landscapes and off-beat conversationals. Most excitingly, this season we introduce our biggest range of Coco & Wolf exclusives, across both Tana Lawn™ cotton and silk. In colour ways designed as a partnership between the Coco & Wolf and Liberty fabric teams, these fabrics will not be found anywhere else.
Today we’re introducing you to the Tana Lawn™ cottons which make up our Spring Summer 2021 collection. Liberty’s iconic cotton is unlike any other. Created using a bespoke process in Liberty’s own Italian printing mill, Tana Lawn™ has an incredible silk-like touch, and unmatchable print and colour vibrancy. We can’t wait to see which prints become our customers’ favourites.

DONNA LEIGH | COCO & WOLF EXCLUSIVE
A closer look at Donna Leigh
The original Donna Leigh Liberty print was inspired by a design by William Kilburn dating from the late 1700s. During this period Kilburn produced many designs for muslin, often with dark, rich grounds and contrasting flowers – this print reflects his signature aesthetic, with its hand-painted watercolour flowers.
Our exclusive silver blue colour way features a silver blue background with cherry red, teal and mustard pops throughout the floral and berry motifs.
