Laura Ashley's archive collection provides original designs and prints from the 1970s to its customers. This strikes me an an idea that's ingenious, there are so many things that have been produced over the last century that people would like to see emerge in their original form rather than adapted for the current fashion climate and these clothes in particular have a prim and unique feeling that can't be created in any other form. Even if you're not interested in buying them the concept is work checking out on the information page because it's so interesting but I would I think there's something about these clothes that makes me want to purchase them. It's the combination of cut, colour and pattern that you can only find in vintage shops. In 2007 there's something undoubtedly hip about Laura Ashley's 70s dresses.
