The first episode will feature a behind-the-scenes look at our Best of British Design Open Call – in which the public is given the opportunity to present their designs to the expert buying team here at Liberty.
Past sucess stories from this unique opportunity include Richard Weston of Weston Scarves, fashion design duo Draw in Light and jewellery designer Katie Rowland.

First we spoke to Buying Manager for Home Michelle Alger, who has just opened the new Dining Room, and told us what she looks for in new designs.
