Busy Lizzie, inspired by a mixture of vintage weaves, exudes an air of elegance & sophistication. The fabric’s soft yet durable composition allows it to transform furniture into statement pieces, while its geometric pattern adds a touch of splendour to any room. Kemp expresses her vision for Busy Lizzie, stating, “This is a great all-round weave that is strong enough to go on a Banquette and have several small children and dogs roaming around on it. It is colourful, buzzy, and fun. The name means that this fabric will be kept busy with wear and tear and plenty of rubbing.
