By repute acquired from Biba, London.
Biba was one of London's most popular clothing and homeware shops from the mid-1960s to the mid-1970s, with youthful and colourful designs that are now the signature 'look' of the era. Starting off as a mail-order business, it had its first shop on Kensington Church Street and later moved to a seven-storey building on Kensington High Street in 1973. Its founder, Barbara Hulanicki, had a flair for the exuberant and drew inspiration from the Victorian, Art Nouveau and Art Deco design for her fashion designs and the famous interior of the sumptuous flagship store.
