This Licensed William Morris Design was first produced in 1887. Willow Bough was influenced by the trees Morris would see on his walks in the country from his home, Kelmscott Manor. His daughter May wrote of the design,Β "We were walking one day by our little stream that runs into the Thames and my father pointed out the detail and soon after the paper was done." We also have Willow Bough in blue and white.
Our heavyweight fabric is suitable for many different projects, it's a heavier weave than the 100% cotton fabric, and suitable for projects such as curtains and light upholstery.
The 100% cotton heavyweight fabric is printed in the United Kingdom, just like all our cloth.
The cotton fabric is 152 cm wide including a 2.5cm each side salve edge. The pattern repeat for Willow Bough is 29cm. For the fabric length, it's sold by the half metre, so you can choose your length using the drop down above. If you order more than 0.5m in the same order, it will be sent as a continuous length.
We use high quality cotton fabric which is printed in the United Kingdom. Our printer is a long-established British printer. If you would like a closer look at any of our fabrics, you can get in touch and weβll be happy to send you a free sample if youβre within the UK. Every single one of our William Morris designs are licensed Morris designs. We print and manufacture all of our William Morris designs to our own specifications in terms of both size and colour to best suit our products. We can keep our fabric cheaper than competitors by printing within the UK and reducing transport costs, we are exclusively an online retailer and therefore we donβt need to pay for flashy showrooms! When you purchase from Lauraβs Beau, you are purchasing your product directly from the manufacturer and so we can dictate our prices and keep them competitive. So - buy British and buy with confidence that youβre purchasing a licensed William Morris design.

Ever wondered why our fabrics look so good up close? πβ¨
Every one of our William Morris designs is digitally printed and manufactured right here in the UK, and hereβs why we love it:
π¨ Incredible detail. Every tiny petal, berry and feather comes out crisp and true to the original design. The colours are consistent and gorgeous.
π Rich, accurate colours that stay just as vibrant as the artwork intended when Morris designed them
πΏ Kinder to the planet. Digital printing typically uses far less water than traditional methods, and we print in smaller batches, so thereβs less waste.
