Some prints stop you mid-scroll. Abelia Poppy is one of them — and it's as much about where the print comes from as what it looks like.
Where Abelia Poppy Comes From
Abelia Poppy is a Liberty Fabrics print, made from the same fabric that's been printed in Northern Italy and coveted by collectors for decades. In this colourway, deep navy meets golden poppies and scattered daisies — bold up close, timeless from across the room. It's the kind of print that carries a dress on its own, without needing a complicated silhouette to back it up.
The Abelia Maxi Dress
We cut Abelia Poppy into a maxi built to actually be worn, not saved for one occasion and left in the wardrobe. Short flutter sleeves keep it easy in the heat, an elasticated waist cinches softly without trying too hard, and the tiered skirt falls in generous layers to the ankle — the kind that genuinely moves when you walk.

Why We Keep Coming Back to Liberty
It would be easier, cheaper even, to print our own florals. We keep choosing Liberty because the fabric does something a generic print can't — it holds its colour, it drapes properly, and it's instantly recognisable to anyone who knows what they're looking at. Abelia Poppy is a good example of why: it's not a pattern we designed to match a trend, it's a piece of fabric history we got to cut into something wearable.
Abelia Poppy is one piece in a much bigger print archive. Shop the rest of our Liberty edit to see where else it turns up.
