The iconic home and fashion label has carefully chosen to partner with NEXT to reintroduce Laura Ashley’s  home products online and in stores nationwide. 

With over 65 years of design excellence the Laura Ashley brand is synonymous with iconic  prints and quality  homeware, inspired by their British heritage. 

Laura Ashley is set for an uplifting evolution, relaunching under new owners, Gordon Brothers and a new retail  partner for home, NEXT. 

The story of Laura Ashley is set to continue as the  brand transcends into a new era of inspirational design for the modern home.

British heritage remains at the heart of Laura Ashley with a British   team  of  designers  continuing  to  fly  the  flag  for  the  much-loved  brand. 

Laura Ashley home products are set to arrive online, hosted on NEXT’s main website, during Spring 2021.

The range will also be showcased in selected NEXT stores, with designated branded zones.

We believe that the combination of the design vision of the  Laura Ashley team alongside NEXT’s online and retail infrastructure can combine  to  revitalise  this  world  class  brand.” 

Poppy Marshall-Lawton, Head of Brand & Partnerships at Laura Ashley said: “We are very pleased to be  partnering with NEXT to take the Laura Ashley brand to the next level. Finding the right brand partner to relaunch Laura Ashley was incredibly important to us. We were delighted with all the opportunities presented  and felt partnering with such a dynamic and British retailer such as NEXT was the perfect progression. Laura  Ashley herself was always inspired by the past but excited about the future, so getting the chance to reinvigorate the brand is a perfect new chapter in our already fabulous  story.”
