Screen print design

Printed linings...


birds of leather linings are all printed on 100% pure cotton. Our first range uses a hand drawn bird motive which is inspired by vintage wallpaper which I had in my bedroom in Melbourne at the time I was designing this first range.





First I drew a single image....











...and then worked it into a repeat pattern which was then screen printed onto lengths of fabric to use inside the bags.













My dream is to develop these prints and begin to design seasonal prints. I like the idea that the bags will have a timeline within them. Whilst the bags themselves will remain a timeless style. Our first repeat print (wallpaper) will be our signature print and will be ongoing.
