World Land Trust and Liberty Scarves
International conservation charity the World Land Trust have collaborated with Liberty to create a collection of exclusive scarves. The five prints were created by Textile Design students at Winchester School of Art, and represent conservation projects around the world that are in urgent need of awareness and funds. 15% of all sales will be donated to the World Land Trust.
Winchester School of Art Competition
Over 40 final year students were asked to design five prints each for the project, with each scarf representing one of the World Land Trust project areas – Borneo, India, Paraguay, Atlantic Rainforest and the Keepers of the Wild programme. We took a behind-the-scenes peek at the finalist entries, which were displayed in the Heritage Suite at Liberty. These were narrowed down to a final five by an expert panel including Tammy Tinker – Fashion Assistant at Vogue, Liberty Accessories Buyer Alexandra Stylianidis, Shoe Designer Michael Lewis, Wildlife Artist Bruce Pearson and Jewellery Designer Dominic Jones. The winning students are Evelyn Males Echeverria for Paraguay, Freya Perrett for Rangers, Lollie Dunbar for Borneo and India, and Phoebe Farrell for Atlantic Rainforest in Argentina.

The Trust always work in collaboration with local partners and non-governmental organisations, and stand by their policy to never own any of the land they help to purchase outright.

Liberty is supporting Comic Relief with these gorgeous limited edition scarves and shopper. Each features specially designed Liberty Prints, which have been given a Red Nose Day twist with little red noses hidden within the iconic patterns. Best of all, you can indulge guilt free. £4 from each item sold will directly benefit those in need across the UK and in the world’s poorest countries, as we’re donating the proceeds.
Each scarf is 100% pure silk, and features two transformed prints - Bourton, which was first produced on dress fabrics in the 1960s and Wiltshire, a leaf and berry pattern that was designed for Liberty in 1933.
