Great British Summer Time has arrived and with it comes long languorous days in lush gardens surrounded by friends and blousy blooms and the perfect opportunity to blur the lines between indoor and outdoor living. If you’re anything like us we like our outdoor spaces to benefit from the same comfort, style and atmosphere usually reserved for indoor living areas with layers of sumptuous textiles and cushions, but finding beautiful yet practical ones is’t always easy.

Welcome to the world of Coco & Wolf.
Our latest exclusive collaboration has arrived! Coco & Wolf are thrilled to have teamed up with independent, British lighting artisan, BeauVamp, merging our stunning Liberty fabrics with BeauVamp’s bespoke lampshade frames and signature fringing.
Over the last few months it has been such a joy to see how Coco & Wolf customers embrace our new and exclusive prints, welcoming them into their homes across bedding, homewares and clothing. This inspires us to continue reimagining the prints which you know and love and this time, not content with launching just one exclusive new floral flourish, we’re introducing three!
As Coco & Wolf heralds from the South West, naturally this little corner of the country has an incredibly special place in our heart. It is home to some of the best creatives in the world and as a team we take so much inspiration from this. One creative bringing endless floral joy to the Cornish creative scene is Rebecca Stuart, Creative Director of The Garden Gate Flower Company. Celebrating it’s tenth birthday this year, the company has grown very organically, much like Rebecca’s flowers. Starting out as a cutting garden created from a handful of seed packets, it is now a sustainable, environmentally conscious garden and floral design studio providing stunning, seasonal wedding flowers for couples all over the South West. Today Rebecca talks us through how she nurtures the creativity which shines through in all of her incredible floral creations as well as life away from the workbench filled with flowers.
There’s no truer antithesis of us all being cooped up for months on end than wild swimming, which is perhaps why it seems to be the new outdoor activity everyone is talking about. But what exactly is wild swimming and why are more and more people happily plunging themselves into icy water?
The Liberty archive is a constant source of inspiration for us here at Coco & Wolf and it is an honour to recolour and rework prints, transforming them and allowing them to take on a new life. Our rich new interpretations, including Betsy in Candy Floss, Michelle in Sand and Donna Leigh in Silver Blue are all designed especially with you in mind, and often inspired by the beloved historical design icons. Today we’re introducing you to our latest exclusively developed print, Betsy in Aubergine.
Summer time in England is famous for its parks and green spaces flooded with picnickers, but what is a picnic without the stylish accessories? Acknowledging the eternal quest for the perfect picnic basket, Coco & Wolf have teamed up with curation connoisseur edit58 to bring you an exclusive collection of Liberty fabric lined picnic baskets.
Our love for flowers and foliage knows no bounds, from the beautiful florals of our favourite Liberty prints right through to wonderful window boxes, abundant hedgerows and glorious gardens. We’re big believers that no view is framed quite as well as when done so with blooms, so today we're sharing our favourite florals for window boxes. Everything we're sharing is lovely to look at and low maintenance, creating boxes which will last right through until the first frost (we promise not to mention this again after SUCH a long Winter!) and, even better, you should find everything in your local nursery or garden centre.
The Liberty Fabrics department is a true design institution. With a world-renowned, 50,000-strong print archive and an in-house design studio continually hand painting and drawing new artworks, it truly is a creative hive. Whilst the design studio often reworks and recolours interpretations of Liberty's heritage designs, it is a rare opportunity for a brand to be invited to develop exclusive colour ways and prints from the archive. From ornate Art Nouveau layouts and classic 1930s ditsy florals to bold geometrics, landscapes and offbeat conversationals, there is a lot to discover, and thankfully, that invitation landed at our door!
Last year saw the launch of our dream-come-true concession in London’s most iconic department store, Liberty. Known around the world for it’s one of a kind, heritage shopping experience, directional design and inspiring curation, Liberty houses beautiful wares from the world's greatest craftspeople. To be a part of that is still a pinch me moment for our founder, Amy and the entire team here at Coco & Wolf.
Food and eating trends are constantly arising, with a flurry of coverage for each, but oftentimes forgotten about as quickly as they come about. There’s one way of eating that truly has stood the test of time and it’s one which we are proud to champion; seasonal eating.
Not content with being the first brand to bring you the much loved print, Betsy on lustrous Liberty silk, Coco & Wolf have done it in our exclusively developed colour way. Say hello to your new favourite.
We hear time and time again how much you, our wonderful customers, enjoy hearing about the story behind the Coco & Wolf brand and it’s a story we are proud to tell. Following an incredibly successful Floribunda collection, curated by Liberty Buying Manager, Bryony Sheridan, last year Coco & Wolf proudly joined Liberty both in-store and online. Bryony has become such an important part of the Coco & Wolf story so today we’re helping you get better acquainted. A maximalist maven, Bryony celebrates the individual, bold and artistic design Liberty is synonymous with, whilst also creating the most exciting collaborations and championing emerging designers - we think you’re going to love her…
This year it feels as though we’ve all been looking forward to Easter more than ever. Along with its religious significance to Christians, Easter is a celebratory time that ushers in a sense of positivity, joy, and much-needed cheer with the promise of summer days to come. With gatherings of six people or two households now permitted in private gardens, for many Easter will also bring with it a chance to see loved ones and gather them around a table once more.
Whether you’re having an outdoor springtime spread or a traditional Easter roast at home, we’re sharing a beautiful, maximalist table scape with you today, to inspire you to create your very own Easter in bloom - because one print is never enough!
We’re greeting the season of new beginnings with the launch of our Spring Summer collection, The Imagining.
A true celebration of wanderlust, The Imagining encourages the realisation of daydreams in the place that matters most. Coco & Wolf’s latest curation creates vignettes of far flung adventures and modern tropicalism whilst grounding itself in the knowing that home really is where the heart is. This heady mix of imagination, wanderlust and daydreams culminates in the creation of striking interiors and individual, homely spaces which transport us further than any journey ever could.
Liberty fabrics are incredibly easy to fall in love with, with their iconic patterns and incredibly tactile make up, they represent a little bit of a luxury that we believe everyone deserves now and again. When Coco & Wolf evolved to include homewares the aim was always to introduce these little luxuries into your homes in a completely individual way, whether that was with a cushion in your favourite print for small-scale beauty, or a larger statement with prints layered across bedding, quilts and pillowcases.
Coco & Wolf’s Spring Summer collection is centred around a carefully selected range 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.
Breakfast, the most important meal of the day and yet the one that is apparently the nation’s most skipped meal. Whilst we’ve always been big fans of a weekend brunch with friends, the joy of everyday breakfast seems to have come hand in hand with us all spending more time at home. Over the last year we’ve been curating a recipe collection of easy, healthy and delicious breakfasts for weekday mornings which can be prepared quickly with little ones round our feet and those which we can afford to take a little more time over come the weekend. Today we’re sharing a couple of our favourites and encouraging you to find joy in breakfast, too.
Liberty fabrics are at the heart of Coco & Wolf, part of our brand’s DNA and a true design institution. Reflective of Liberty’s storied heritage and passion for art and design, the stunning prints throughout the century spanning archive are world renowned and it is an incredible honour for Coco & Wolf to be invited to develop prints with Liberty. Each print we develop with the Liberty fabrics team is exclusive to Coco & Wolf, designed with our beloved customers in mind, and these beautiful designs will never be found anywhere else. Today we’re introducing you to our latest exclusive; Donna Leigh in Silver Blue on the irresistibly tactile Tana Lawn™ cotton and silk! Get ready to fall head over heels…
As a brand we like to think part of what makes Coco & Wolf triumphant is that we’ve created a plethora of products which strike the fine balance between beauty and comfort. Today we’re sharing our top tips for styling your sofa to create the ultimate place to relax that feels well loved and lived in, the perfect balance of comfortable and stylish.
