Liberty Fabrics – A Heritage of Craftsmanship and Timeless Design

At Petit Crabe, we believe that beautiful design and thoughtful functionality go hand in hand. That’s why selected pieces in our collection of UV-protective swimwear for children and women are crafted using Liberty Fabrics, a name synonymous with quality, heritage and timeless style.

Who Is Liberty?

Liberty Fabrics originates from the iconic British department store Liberty of London, founded in 1875. For more than a century, Liberty has been world-renowned for its finely detailed, hand-drawn prints and exceptional fabric quality. Each pattern is created by Liberty’s in-house design team and often inspired by nature, art and historical archives, resulting in designs that feel both classic and contemporary.

Liberty prints are celebrated for their intricate details, soft colour palettes and unmistakable character, fabrics designed to be loved and worn for generations.

Liberty Meets Scandinavian Simplicity

When combined with Petit Crabe’s clean, Scandinavian design philosophy, Liberty Fabrics add a refined and feminine touch without overpowering the simplicity of the silhouettes. The result is swimwear that feels calm, elegant and timeless, never trend-driven.

Our Liberty styles are easy to mix and match across the collection and are designed to be worn season after season, whether at the beach, by the pool or on holiday.

UV Protection with Style

All Liberty styles in our collection are made as UV-protective swimwear, meeting the European UV-801 standard, which ensures reliable sun protection even when the fabric is wet or stretched. This makes Liberty prints not just beautiful, but also highly functional.

You’ll find Liberty Fabrics featured across selected swimsuits, bikinis, UV swim shirts, sunsuits and accessories, offering effective sun protection without compromising on comfort or aesthetics.

Quality You Can Feel

Liberty Fabrics are known for their soft feel, durability and exceptional print quality. Combined with Petit Crabe’s carefully selected materials and construction, this ensures swimwear that maintains its fit, colour and comfort – even after repeated use in sun and water.

All fabrics are OEKO-TEX® certified, free from harmful chemicals and suitable for sensitive skin.

A Timeless Addition to Your Summer Wardrobe

Our Liberty collection is designed for those who appreciate craftsmanship, heritage and thoughtful design. Whether you’re dressing a child for long summer days in the sun or choosing swimwear for yourself, Liberty Fabrics add a sense of luxury and individuality, while staying true to Petit Crabe’s functional, Scandinavian roots.
