With Valentine’s Day only next week, there’s love in the air! That’s why over here at Laura’s Beau HQ, we’ve been enamoured with our Hearts & Kisses design all over again! With tablecloths, matching napkins and 1950s style apron, it’s exciting to set out a cute little afternoon tea and shimmy round the kitchen wearing the apron that you’ll be tempted to keep on long after the guests arrive!
The design was inspired by a trip to Paris – aren’t all good ideas? The criss cross pattern reminded us of the wrought iron on the Eiffel Tower and the love theme is obviously an ode to Paris, the city of love. To create the design, we looked to our late 1800 – early 1900 French Archive, which is crammed full of beautiful designs; working with our textile designer, we brightened it up, restored it to it’s former glory and chose the colours we wanted for within the design. With design, the colours are always really important to get right, but the cream background, soft pinks and green leaves within the designs are something we’re happy we took the time to get right!
In Hearts & Kisses, we have a range of products; from tablecloths and napkins to aprons and iPad cases, have a look at the category page on our website to see the full range.
The mini iPad/ kindle case is on sale right now, so you must hurry to get this one! The outside of the case is PVC so it’s wipe clean – super handy! There’s a front pocket, which is great if you’re like us and need to carry round notepads or pens etc. that you can scribble ideas down on on the go or when travelling! The inside has a padded lining which keeps all your tech safe and there’s a different pattern on the lining – a cute cluster of three hearts – really great for Valentine’s Day gifts and all year round to keep that feeling of love with you!
Valentine’s Day is a fabulous day for everyone to feel the love; but we don’t necessarily think it should be confined to one day and prefer to feel the love all year round! You will too with our Hearts & Kisses range up your home!

We’re often asked what the different weights of our fabrics are and what projects they’d be good for. These are our three different types of fabrics in our Brother Rabbit red colourway - cotton on the right, heavyweight in the middle and pvc on the left ✨ As you can see on the second photo, and as the name suggests, our heavyweight fabric has a thicker, heavier weave which makes it good for projects such as curtains and light upholstery 🪡 Our cotton fabric is perfect for quilting and projects such as dress making but honestly the amount of crafts that can be made out of them both are endless! 🫶🏻 Our pvc fabric is great to put straight on the table as it won’t fray so doesn’t need a hem and is easy to maintain as it’s wipe clean! All our fabrics are sold by the half metre and if you’d like a sample of any of our fabrics in any weight just let us know and we’ll get a free sample sent to you! 💌

Perhaps the most famous Morris design, Strawberry Thief was registered in 1883, inspired by Morris watching the thrushes stealing strawberries from under his fruit nets at the beautiful @kelmscottmanor 🍓 It was printed using the indigo dye technique, which was labour intensive and first attempted in 1875 but not perfected for 8 years 🎨 We also print Strawberry Thief in a beautiful red 🫶🏻
