Lovely designs . Ladylike and modest outstanding quality. Very Jane Austin

Why oh why did I send my beloved LA dresses to a thrift shop when they were no longer in style? now, as a 61 year old retiree, I would love to have them back, even if only to wear at home. So feminine and comfortable!

Oh my gosh - I used to work at Laura Ashley in the 80s, and we had the wing chair in Alba Roses in the home decorating section, along with coordinating curtains, lamp, tablecloth, and cushion covers. Such a beautiful ,cozy look for the home. I've never gone for the updated minimalism that came into style afterwards...I've still got at least two dozen LA garments from back then and will never give them up!

I loved my Laura Ashley clothes. The beautiful blouses, the skirts, the pinafore dresses. I lived in them.

I am 65 and I still have a Laura Ashley dress from the 70s

Fabulous, there should be a museum....

Laura Ashley, up until 1998 was a brilliant Clothing shop. The quality, design construction and store ambiance was perfection. Even the original Perfumes were gorgeous, sadly lost forever. I believe if Laura Ashley had continued its strict ethic of designing only gorgeous, timeless pieces, it would have survived. Cabbages and Roses copied both EGG Trading, McClintock, Ewa I Walla, Commes des Garçons and Laura Ashley, they saw the gap in the market, as has Batsheva. Lilith Paris also folded, although I believe someone, thankfully, is resurrecting it. There will always be a market for timeless, elegant, tailored, WELL MADE, quirky, romantic, feminine clothing and the sooner we reintroduce this back into the market, the better. Educating buyers, the public, regarding the production of clothing would be a start. If children today don't understand quality, construction, fit, etc, the real value and cost of it, what hope have we?

I have many of the Laura Ashley patterns. My daughter loved the store bought Laura Ashley dresses but sadly we could not afford a lot of them, so I bought the patterns and made them. The blouse patterns were especially important because I could buy the jumpers and skirts and sew the blouses. I loved that era.

Loved Laura Ashley designs. Why oh why did they stop making their great clothes? I'm hoping someone at LA will decide to resurrect LA designs. There's a new generation that would love it! I had the fabulous LA sailor dress, skirts, a polka dot shift....so classic, so classy! Bring it back!!!

I would have loved to attended this. I was a huge Laura Ashley fan.

I still have a comforter by Laura Ashley, and it's on my bed right now.

Up to London in the early '70s, at the height of the Laura Ashley frenzy, I bought a beautiful black corduroy cloak (which I gave away in the late '90s to a young woman who probably got more wear out of it than I did. Despite loving it, It's not the sort of thing one wears in the suburbs of the USA). Around 1991 and living in Paris, I interviewed with Jane Birkin for a job and went to her house. The ENTIRE house was done up (walls, furniture, everything... as best I can remember) in Laura Ashley! Fabrics & wall paper ... it was amazing. I've been wondering, as I watch all these really nostalgic documentaries, if she had the wisdom to KEEP it (everything comes around again!) ... or did she, at some stage, change it? (There are different reasons for changing our environments...).

Oh yes their prints were so divine and lovely to see and wear.

My mother sewed my bed set curtains and canopy out of a cabbage rose Laura Ashley fabric. And my confirmation dress was sewn by a Laura Ashley pattern. Oh- and we named our daughter Lauren Ashley…lol.

Thank you. From a fan of all things Laura Ashley.

Good quality decent clothes needs a resurgence. Cotton is the most wonderful fabric. So versatile and cool.
