Which Laura Ashley pieces hold their value
- Original-era prints and fabrics, which collectors buy by pattern name and which cannot be reproduced
- Vintage furniture from the label’s own production, which was properly made and is sought out by people restoring a period room
- Complete curtain pairs in a recognised pattern, which are what someone needs to finish a room
- Uncut lengths of original fabric, which are bought by restorers and are worth more than made-up items in the same print
And what pulls the price down
- Sun-bleached and faded prints, which on a pattern-led brand removes the entire reason for buying
- Later licensed homeware, which has none of the vintage market behind it and prices as high street
- Cut and altered curtains, which no longer fit any standard window and lose the collector’s interest as well
- Damp and musty storage smell in stored fabric, which buyers cannot assess remotely and will assume the worst about
Identifying and dating yours
These are the checks that decide which end of the range a piece sits in, and they are the facts a serious buyer will ask for:
- Name the pattern if you can, because collectors search by pattern name rather than by item
- Photograph the selvedge or the label on any fabric, which is where the era and the print name are printed
- Measure curtains flat and give the drop, width and heading type in centimetres
WishThrift does not authenticate or inspect anything. Condition and origin are described by the seller against five grades — what each one means — so photograph the markings above rather than asserting them.

Frequently asked questions
Is used Laura Ashley worth buying?
It depends far more on the line than the label. Laura Ashley divides sharply. The original vintage era — the prints, the fabric and the furniture from the label’s own decades — has a committed collectors’ market, while later licensed homeware prices as ordinary high street. Each guide below says which Laura Ashley lines hold their value for that item and which have almost none, so you are comparing like for like rather than paying for the name alone.
How do I check a piece is genuine Laura Ashley?
Name the pattern if you can, because collectors search by pattern name rather than by item. WishThrift does not authenticate, inspect or grade anything — condition and origin are described by the seller, so ask directly and expect an answer. A seller who has the item will send a photograph of the marking in minutes.
