About us
It started in 1953. Twenty-eight year-old Laura Ashley had just been to the handiworks exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum and she was feeling inspired. She’d seen a display of intricate patchworks and made up her mind to have a go at her own. Investing £10 in wood for a screen, dyes and some linen, Laura along with her husband Bernard, began printing at the kitchen table of their tiny flat. Their first attempts included small squares in geometric patterns followed by headscarves — a trend among young girls sparked by Audrey Hepburn in the film Roman Holiday.
By the time two of the Ashley’s four children were born, their makeshift production line had all but overtaken their flat. Forced to look for bigger premises, the Ashley’s moved to rural Kent in 1955, where the operation was nearly wiped out when the river Derwent flooded. Times were hard and every spare shilling was plowed back into the business.
