Printing and manufacturing licensed William Morris fabrics in the United Kingdom, we bring the timeless floral Morris design into homes.

Perhaps you’ve got a moment to learn more about us? We’re a family business based in Yorkshire, printing and manufacturing our licensed William Morris 100% cotton fabrics in the United Kingdom. 

It all began when Gill founded the business with the guidance and support of her late father, Ted. An incredibly knowledgeable man, he had 55 years of experience in the textile industry and along with many funny sayings, was generous with sharing his expertise in design, development, manufacturing, buying and retailing. It helped set up Laura’s Beau and lots of the principles of business have now been passed down again from Gill to Laura, who is now running the business. 

Lots of what was set out to achieve in 1994 remains today, we always wanted to print in the UK, supporting the textile and manufacturing industry. We wanted to retain traditional quality. Ted’s principle of “good business with nice people” remains today here at Laura’s Beau.

We licence and produce a range of William Morris designs. We have always loved William Morris designs and knew this was something we’d love to do, to carry on sharing his art to new generations. They’re all so timeless, all these years after being designed, they’re still relevant and beautiful in modern and traditional homes and spaces. We have an ever growing collection of licensed William Morris designs, which we manufacture in the UK into a huge range of products, we hope you love these designs as much as we do.

We also have a French textile archive dated from the late 1800s- early 1900s,  which we use to faithfully restore designs to their former glory. These exclusive designs can all be seen on our website. We love that they bring the French countryside indoors with their beautiful designs that we’ve saved from being forgotten in history by restoring them from the archive. 

As we’ve grown over the years, we have developed our ranges and product lines and sold them around the world. There’s something exciting about knowing that our products are decorating homes around the world!

🍓 William Morris Month Day 14 🍓 Strawberry Thief was inspired by William Morris’s watching the thrushes under the strawberry nets at the stunning @kelmscottmanor 🌿 May Morris conjured up this scene when speaking of the design, “You can imagine my Father going out in the early morning and watching the rascally thrushes at work on the fruit beds and telling the fanned who growls ‘I’d like to wring their necks!’ that no bird in the garden must be touched. There were certainly more birds than strawberries in spite of attempts at protection. And the walls of the little dining-room are hung with this note of the June garden and the little lords of it.” 🍓 What a lovely insight into the Morris family life! 🥰

✨ William Morris Month Day 11 ✨ A spotlight on Willow Bough today! 🌿 This beautiful botanical design was first designed in 1887, isn’t it so timeless! It actually was the design his daughter May Morris used to decorate her bedroom before it was adapted for wallpaper in 1895 when it was block printed in Merton Abbey 🇬🇧

🌟 William Morris Month Day 6 🌟 Celebrating World Book Day by settling down with some of our favourite William Morris books! 📚 Did you know that when Morris died, his physician was quoted on the cause of death as, “simply being William Morris and having done more work than most ten men”. When reading through at his life, it’s incredible to see how much he did achieve in his 62 years; from his designs, his printing achievements at Merton Abbey, creating the Kelmscott Press, his poetry and writings and much more! ✨
