What holds its value across Laura Ashley
- 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
What pulls Laura Ashley resale value 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
- 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
What lifts any blinds, whatever the label
Blinds are made to a specific window, so exact measurements decide whether yours are worth anything to anyone else.
- Standard sizes that suit common windows
- Complete with brackets, fixings and wands
- Wooden and quality fabric blinds
- Undamaged slats and cords
And what pulls one down
- Cut-to-size blinds fitting only one window
- Missing brackets and fixings
- Bent or broken slats
- Tangled or frayed cords
Working out what yours is worth
- Measure the exact width and drop
- Confirm all brackets and fixings are present
- Test the mechanism raises and lowers cleanly
What to state in the listing
- Exact width and drop in centimetres, and whether that is the blind or the recess
- Type — roller, venetian, roman, vertical or pleated
- Whether it is corded or cordless, and what safety device is fitted
- Whether brackets and fixings are included
Type and exact size: “Roller Blind, 120x160cm, Blackout, White”. Width and drop are the search and blinds are far less forgiving than curtains — a few centimetres out and it does not fit. Say roller, venetian, roman or vertical, which are entirely different products.
Preparing and photographing it
- Check whether the blind has a cord or chain, and whether a breakaway connector or cleat safety device is present.
- Measure the exact width and drop, and note whether the measurement is the recess or the blind itself.
- Test the mechanism through its full travel and check the slats or fabric for creases and sun damage.
- The blind hung or extended fully, whole
- The mechanism, cord or chain, including any safety device
- A tape measure across the exact width
- The brackets and fixings, plus any bent slat, stain or fray
When it sells best, and handing it over
Steady year round with a spring and autumn lift around redecorating. Common recess sizes sell fastest because they fit standard windows.
Roll rather than fold, and post in a tube or long box. A folded roller blind keeps the crease permanently and a bent venetian slat cannot be straightened.
What buyers ask
Is vintage Laura Ashley worth more than the newer homeware?
Considerably, in the right patterns. The original-era prints and furniture have collectors; later licensed products behave like ordinary high-street homeware.
Should I cut down a large pair of curtains to fit?
No — uncut is worth more. A restorer can always shorten fabric, but nobody can put it back, so sell them at full size and give the measurements.
How much are Laura Ashley blinds worth?
Roughly £10 to £55 depending on condition, against £10 to £55 for blinds generally. The identification points above are what move a listing to the top of that range.
