Before #cottagecore was all over TikTok, there was Laura Ashley! 💐
With their dreamy catalogue imagery, historically inspired dresses and a little bit of help from Princess Diana, Laura Ashley has cemented itself as a truly iconic British brand.
Victorian Era inspired floral prints, 1920s drop waists, and running through the Welsh countryside in prairie dresses - does it get anymore cottagecore than that?!
