I am from Shaukat fabrics in UK. Our website is: www.shaukat.co.uk. The design above is called Tink and the design number is: Tink 03638290 in 4 colors A,B,C,D. It is liberty print and the same print are printed in Japan, but remember they are nt the same quality. the UK products is much better quality. Anyway just wanted to help all and give them right information. However if you need any more information about any fabric, please do not hesitate to contact me on: info@shaukat.co.uk. Just came cross this blog and thought I should write to lovers of liberty fabrics.<BR/><BR/>thanks all.Leila Aminnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12773096.post-79190192726289169712008-08-15T09:11:00.000-05:002008-08-15T09:11:00.000-05:00LondonGirl found the pattern at Shaukat, so it looks like it's available in the UK ... it's called "Tink".Erinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06736176758196612844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12773096.post-66847627178033471972008-08-15T07:15:00.000-05:002008-08-15T07:15:00.000-05:00Great site. <BR/><BR/>I am a wholesaler of Japanese textiles, based in Osaka. <BR/><BR/>I am curious why you found some of the Liberty designs only in Japan and now in their UK stores. Liberty is a UK based company, I would assume they would send their designs for printing in Japan and have it sent back to them.Cordwindernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12773096.post-66307898878941660062008-08-14T07:42:00.000-05:002008-08-14T07:42:00.000-05:00The fabric you bought is named Tink and was in the latest release Liberty winter range. I have the pink in store and it is YUM!<BR/>Maybe you were thinking of specific fabric brand names in relation to the french provencal fabrics you saw. Two are Les Olivades and Souleido, both are manufactured in the south of France.

We took out 18 year old daughter as a high school graduation present -- she was born there, moved back to the US when she was 1, and has always wanted to visit. We were in Tokyo, Tateyama, Kamakura, Kyoto, then Tokyo again between July 31 and August 7. Fantastic (though beastly hot).Heather Outside Bostonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12773096.post-87251276932368175752008-08-11T20:16:00.000-05:002008-08-11T20:16:00.000-05:00Oh, Erin - that Liberty print is <STRONG>gorgeous</STRONG> and the colours are <STRONG>wonderful</STRONG>. Well bought! I am sooooo envious :-&gt;<BR/>I haven&#39;t seen that pattern before, now I will be hunting for it ... Is it Tana Lawn? I wonder what its name it? I guess it could be an Austral/Asian special print - I wonder ... as the <A HREF="http://www.liberty-japan.co.jp/index.html" REL="nofollow">Liberty Japan website</A> shows so much more of the modern Tana Lawns compared to Liberty.co.uk. Even though the new UK site will now allow purchasing online, it is still only a selection of the classic prints - not the modern ones :-( <BR/>For anyone that wants to see more Liberty prints, here's a few more links: <BR/>(NZ) <A HREF="http://www.christabels.co.nz/index.html" REL="nofollow">Christabels</A>, <BR/>(US) <A HREF="http://www.purlsoho.com/purl/products/fabricdetail/1695" REL="nofollow">Purl Soho</A>, <BR/>(Aus) <A HREF="http://www.calicoandivy.com/product-category-74/fabric/liberty/index.html" REL="nofollow">Calico &amp; Ivy</A>, <BR/>(UK) <A HREF="http://www.shaukat.co.uk/categories.asp?cat1=6" REL="nofollow">Shaukat Fabrics</A>, <BR/>Oh, how I love Liberty prints ... one day I'll make myself a <A HREF="http://www.purlbee.com/swatch-portraits/" REL="nofollow">Swatch Wall</A> with some of my favourites :-)LondonGirlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12773096.post-78820186606002696142008-08-10T23:59:00.000-05:002008-08-10T23:59:00.000-05:00Heya Erin, I just spotted that Liberty print here in Melbourne (Clegs in the city, for the locals' reference) and couldn't spot any markings on the selvedge.

Speaking of Liberty shops, please tell me you've have the fun of experiencing the SECRET Liberty shop in London. No, no, not the main one on Regent Street. I'm talking about the SECRET Liberty shop. Where the fabric is often half price. I wrote about it on my blog, here: http://www.knittingjenny.com/liberty.htm <BR/>I hope you get the chance to go there someday. It's fun. Liberty fabric is my all-time favorite.<BR/><BR/>Jenny<BR/>www.knittingjenny.comJennywww.knittingjenny.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12773096.post-59163228057497111532008-08-07T19:45:00.000-05:002008-08-07T19:45:00.000-05:00I remember the store "Pierre Deux" always a hit for the preppies among us, the purses, the linens, the duffels...alas I believe they are no more.

Starting from closest to Nippori JR station there is Pakira which sells mostly cotton prints. I have never bought anything there - there are so many other shops that sell cotton prints closer to home. <BR/><BR/>A bit further down the road on the same side of the street is a small tidy shop on just one floor called Pakira Knit. Unsurprisingly this sells knits. They are generally quite good quality and mostly solid colours.<BR/><BR/>Then further down, on the other side of the road, not so far from Tomato is Elegance. This is again quite small but spread over 3 floors and houses some spectacular fabrics. The have some unusual knit prints, designer fabrics etc. This is the place I am most excited to visit in Nippori. The fabrics are certainly expensive there. Last time I was there I did find a fabric I had seen elsewhere for less.<BR/><BR/>On the same side of the road as Elegance and a bit closer to the station is another really nice store, run by a different company called Kawahara, medium size and spread over two floors. <BR/><BR/>I don't usually find much to buy in Tomato despite its size, although it can be good for picking up an essential since they sell some of everything. I think Kawahara is more fun to explore. Maybe Tomato it is just too big but I think most a lot of the fabric there is not that great quality, or particularly special, and being such a slow stitcher I like to use good quality fabrics! <BR/><BR/>If you are planning on visiting Nippori leave plenty of time to explore the smaller shops! There are a huge number of them!<BR/><BR/>See: http://www.netlaputa.ne.jp/~nippori/map/map.htmljuleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02591920483149775255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12773096.post-26230176656965908992008-08-06T13:17:00.000-05:002008-08-06T13:17:00.000-05:00Yummy!!!!!<BR/>:)kathleenCrowleyCostumeCouturehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10859382110278231302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12773096.post-24612103101470477062008-08-06T12:04:00.000-05:002008-08-06T12:04:00.000-05:00Japanese fabric shops, Liberty lawn, chocolate...heaven!

The weave is so fine and tight that even though the fabric is remarkable lightweight, it barely frays.
