On public tv here in the states we used to get a sitcom called "Are you being served?" and this store reminded me of that show--wonder if that is where it was filmed? Loved it and miss it and would love to visit Liberty as I am a home sewer & love fabric!! Claridges is also very beautiful---Wow! Started watching you last Winter and loved your walks so it is a nice change now to see people out and about. You look very happy and thinner!!!!
Another delightful outing! Your enthusiasm and cheerfulness are a tonic, and make London come alive again. Claridge’s Bar sounds like a wonderful way to spend the afternoon.
Finally... after years of reading about the Liberty store, seeing the architecture up close for real was excellent, thank you Hannah, much appreciated 🙂
I worked at Liberty's in '68. Lovely to see inside and how it's changed. Was always exciting to see 'the famous people'. Brian Jones came into the department I was working with his girlfriend.
THANK YOU for showing me London! One day I hope to get there but right now you are my virtual tour guide!!!! You are one of the most thoughtful bloggers out there!!!!
its funny that its called Liberty, its like taking piss on humanity, that stuff there is so expensive that not everyone can afford it. And that our world is actually not free because of money control and constant surviving, working and consuming. That is pretty much our world is about. And it even have masonic symbol of white and black chessboard pattern on floor, which is shows a lot on celebrities, movies, music etc. Truman show, which is collapsing. Just smth to share to open people eyes. :)
My favourite vlogs to watch - thanks for taking us along once again! I love that you treat yourself and go places on your own. I’d kill for a rosé on a roof top in London. Not literally, but I can’t wait to go back. Xx
My friend is a prominent Tennis RU-vidr and I’m told him for ages to ditch his camera and use his iPhone 12 in HD or 4K mode and his videos are so much better. He gets so many comments how good they look now. Can’t beat iPhone for its computational video capabilities! Keep up the good work!!
Wonderful vlog Hannah, really enjoyed it. Love, love,love Liberty's. I still have a charming little foot stool purchased some 40 years ago in their New Year sale. I remember it as if it were yesterday - my husband kept going on about how much of a fire hazard it was, with all that wood ! If you get just one iconic little piece, you'll treasure it all your life x
WOW! Hannah, this was just fantastic. I wanted to buy EVERYTHING in Liberty. What an amazing store. And Claridges! I felt like I was there with you. BTW loved your outfit (what we could see of it). Thank you so much for sharing this, I have new places on my bucket list now.....You are keeping the travel dream alive for those of us in Australia. Looking forward to that afternoon tea!
What a lovely vlog ❤️ such fun thank you so much Hannah. That store was amazing you should definitely add it to the Christmas Vlog list! The Hotel was beautiful as well... so glad you got out for a stroll and took us along ❤️❤️❤️you honestly made my day 🌻🌸xoxo take care of yourself see you next week. 🙋
I have enjoyed every one of your vlogs! This particular one is OUTSTANDING! I’ve never heard of the Liberty Store, but it’s on my list to visit when I go to London next time. PLEASE make a Christmas vlog from here.
Hannah, loved this vlog I love Liberty’s hope you do a vlogmas there. Was that a cheeky second glass of wine 🍷? Why not you deserve it. Have a great weekend and hope you enjoy afternoon tea with your sister.
Hi Hannah , great vlog! I love this store. The architecture is amazing, and I love the variety of merchandise. Please vlog Liberty at Christmas??. Thanks so much for letting me experience London through your videos.
Thank you so much for this beautiful trip to Liberty’s, especially the fabric prints floor. Seeing the wall honoring those who served in the wars was so poignant and meaningful. After this horrible week some fizz at Claridge’s was just what I needed. How lovely that they have blankets on the chairs. These are the kind of details that you so wonderfully point out. You are a blessing.
Liberty is the original home of quirky! Glad you are showing this store, I haven't been inside it for nearly 50 years. The interior is the same but I notice that they aren't filling the place to the brim - there is room to walk around without knocking down a display. I always bought gifts there. The prints are wonderful- I was introduced to the style of William Morris which I still love. I still have a scarf that has held up beautifully.
Ahhh, a wonderful decadent day, every time you walk by Claridges, there will be a grin on your face, remembering your day... meandering through Liberty's, a few must have purchases, hee hee hee and then a relaxing afternoon with cocktails and nibblies, on a late summer afternoon.. Epic!
Wonderful excursion into retail magic - Liberty's brand is a joy in these challenging times. I didn't want it to end - the details, the product, and the physical store adapting to the moment were all intriguing!
Thought I'd just add this Hannah - its so easy to make cushion covers - you don't need a machine, and you can choose some gorgeous Liberty fabric to vamp up your room. I have made all kinds of soft furnishings over the years, I have summer cushion covers, then as we approach October I change to winter ones. There are so many "How to make " blogs out there and its very rewarding x
Really enjoyed that trip to Liberty. Those liberty print little girls’ dresses are so cute! A bit pricey though ! Those animal rugs made me laugh. I could see them in a child’s room. You definitely should buy yourself some quirky decorative pillows for your couch. They make such a difference and can be changed seasonally or just when you want a bit of a different look. Thanks for the shopping trip, Hannah! And the stop at Claridge’s afterwards 😉
@@HannahRicketts we call ones on sofas "throw pillows" in america. My mother & I thoroughly enjoyed this video. U r also the best wdw vlogger showing appropriate attention to the gift shops. Well done!
I will be sharing this video as you have provided such a good tour of Liberty - I had no idea it was such an interesting department store. Inspiring me to book a fall trip to London!
Thank you, Hannah, for going to Liberty! I've never been to England and it's one of the stores on my "to visit" listing. Glad you treated yourself to a nice glass (or two) afterwards. I always look forward to your vlogs as they're such fun. All the best.
Hi again Hannah. Nice to see you uploading again, I watched your previous Harrods shopping vlog and I loved it. My older brother went there back in July and he said he enjoyed it. Got some nice Harrods biscuits/shortbread's from him to. 🦔👍
Fantastic vlog Hannah! We weren't able to squeeze in a visit to Liberty when we were in London & it was so great to see your vlog about it. It's def my type of store for the same reasons you highlighted- the unique items and beautiful architecture! Love it!!!
That was nice. I'd never heard of Liberty but it would fascinating to browse through there. And that was a very pleasant way to spend the end of the day with a drink and just wasting time. It's so good to waste time once in a while.
Christmas Store, Christmas Store, Christmas Store 😛. Thank you for showing us around. How perfectly civilised sitting in the hotel bar soaking up a summer’s day and treating yourself 🥰
Loved it! I am a sewer/quilter and love Liberty fabric. My postponed trip back to Scotland in 2020 (expat in CA) was to include my final 2 days in London specifically to visit Liberty which I have never been to! Still haven’t rebooked, hoping for May 2022. This video will keep me going for awhile, many thanks Hannah.
Thank you for taking us along to Liberty Hannah, what a treat ! I love their floral prints. I'm tempted to buy something online now 👩💻 Looking forward to next week already, especially as you are going for afternoon tea with your sister. I've missed all the cakes you used to show us ! I really love your channel and look forward to each new vlog. Will you be doing Vlogmas this year ? I can't believe I'm even asking about Christmas already 🎅💕
Loved seeing Liberty's what a very special place! I hope you include a tour for Christmas! Ok loved your time at Claridge's what a wonderful way to spend an afternoon. I loved it so much and enjoyed your time there right along with you lol! Looking especially forward to the next vlog, love a good proper English afternoon tea. Have a marvelous week Hannah!!!
I’ve always wanted to see Liberty of London! Thanks for look inside. I love that they packaged everything so beautifully! Looking forward to wherever you want to take us next!
Love your vlogs as per usual! That's quite a lovely store (Liberty), The fabric section was interesting to me. Glad to see you enjoying some Rosé and those great looking snacks. It's Aug. 27th, the evenings are a wee bit cooler. Wishing you a lovely weekend.
Thank you Hannah! It’s really interesting hearing how you learned your buying job and how retailers buy. Would love to hear more on that if and whenever the spirit moves you!! ☺️🙏💃
I just loved your vlog. Ive been to London four times. How did I ever miss Liberty of London dept store? If we ever get to traveling again that will be my first stop in London. I love love love the little girl's smocked dresses. I have two granddaughters that would look just lovely in them.. Thank you again for taking us all around London.. Vickie
Another fabulous London Vlog, thank you Hannah! We have loved watching all of your London vlogs recently. It's so nice for someone to actually research the area they are filming and not just point and shoot! Oh and you come across as a fun a lovely person.....keep doing what you do 😃
Thank you for taking me into my favourite department store: Covid has prevented me from visiting in person for so long! I remember the Liberty sales many years ago, when the fabric department was so busy it was hard to see anything. My mother and I would buy towels and soaps, then go to the cafe to recover from the mayhem. More recently, whenever I have gone to the Liberty sale, I have been rather under-whelmed. But - there are always such wonderful clothes to drool over!
Love this video Hannah. I very much seeing inside Liberty (not my first time seeing it, but nice seeing what some of the changes are since my last viewing on another vlog). Also, I really liked the art deco style glassware from restaurant at Claridge's. And don't worry about have a little more than you originally went in for... everyone deserves a little extra sometimes. Cheers.
Growing up in Australia in the 1980's, I wore Liberty ALL THE TIME. Drop waist dresses (with liberty sash), liberty skirts with peter pan frilled Laura Ashley blouse and liberty combs and ribbons! Love that store, thanks for taking the time to vlog. Loved your Claridge's stopover too xx
Love your vlogs as always, I'm hoping to get back into retail buying soon and I love to see all the department stores you show. Some really funky stuff in Liberty there..be nice to see it again at Christmas. Also good to see the general level of busyness picking up again and people out and about spending money getting the economy going again. Keep up the great work with your videos I know it's a hobby for you.. I love watching all the places you show in them!
Hey Hannah don’t know if you’ll see this comment as this is in an older video I commented in another video how I just found your channel and absolutely LOVE it. I’m almost through binging all of the uploads. They’re brilliant!! Each one is soo good. I love seeing all the shops and everything in them and how they’re decorated for the seasons and holidays, the merchandise and packaging as well and all the sweets and foods. I really like the tea ones. Also the tours that you do of the different areas like Notting Hill, Cotswolds etc, provide such a wonderful ‘escape’ at the end of a stressful day or week. I love watching them as a way to wind down after a difficult day. Of course I’ve subscribed and can’t wait for new videos. I truly appreciate all the hard work you do to upload and share these!🇺🇸❤️🇬🇧
Absolutely fantastic Hannah. Thank you so so much!! Yes please Please PLEASE do a Vlogmas in Liberty's. Great to see Claridges too. What a lovely surprise. Loving the vlogs xxx 😊
Lovely video, thanks for taking us in there. I noticed a smaller plaque on the stairway wall for staff lost in WW2, and then when you showed us the WW1 plaque i saw the name Claridge on there...will be interesting to google the stories of them both. Such a special tribute still having them there.
