the lovely alex stacey from papergrain sent me over these images of some fab new cards she has just arrived in stock. designed by brie harrison, a london-based textile designer ,who you may remember from the book 'over and over'. published by art angels, and available now - along with tons of other lovely items from papergrain.
print & pattern has a new sponsor today - in the shape of kailo chic. if you're looking for a patterned purse, clutch, or tote then this is for you. kailo's creator is kara whitten, who runs her online shop from austin in texas, but for those of us overseas kara has an etsy shop that ships internationally for a low rate. everything is hand made in the USA, and just look at some of the lovely fabrics kara uses here.
madison & grow have designed a collection of luxury wallcoverings that feature modern prints on sustainable eco friendly paper. the blue design above looks like a really striking palette - and with a real lack of blue on the market these days (in the UK anyway) it looks really fresh. see more patterns here.
im finishing up my round-up of card collections from nineteenseventythree today. the UK card company licenses designs from olive & moss, a designer well known here at P+P. these super sweet characters are all the creation of designer nina clarke..
these nineteenseventythree collections for a boy or girls birthday looked fab in selfridges when i saw them a few weeks ago.
finally in my look at the cards of nineteenseventythree comes a totally different style. the exhuberent work of jon burgerman. bright colours and quirky characters feature on cards, wrap and even wallpaper. there is also a range of cards supplied with mini crayons to colour yourself. see here for the full collection.
todays posts are all about celebrating the work of one company - the excellent nineteenseventythree. this fab UK card company was founded husband and wife team james and emma emmerson, both born in 1973. they have designed their own collections and licensed work by other artists such as sukie, olive & moss, isak, and most recently belle & boo. these images are of their eco friendly recycled cards range called 'the good life' which uses hot foil, and if you're in the UK you will have seen them in top stores such as paperchase, magma, selfridges, etc. but if you havent seen them in a store near you dont worry you can buy their cards and wrapping paper online here.
you have probably seen the beautiful work of belle & boo around lately, either on etsy, or in online boutiques and blogs, etc. these beautifuly nostalgic illustrations are the work of british illustrator mandy sutcliffe who studied at leeds metropolitan university. belle & boo was previously available on etsy, but now nineteenseventythree have produced a fabulous set of quality greetings cards, postcards, and wrapping paper to help bring the beautiful belle to a wider audience. where can you buy belle & boo ? at nineteenseventythree, or at papergrain, or mandy's own shop on etsy.
nineteenseventythree also have the most awesome wrapping paper - such as these above & below from 'the good life'. they also produce wrapping paper by sukie, and belle & boo. scroll down for delightful design, or if you want to get some paper for yourself visit their online shop. i love the sukie alphabet sheet so much that im going to frame it. a beautiful piece of art for just £2.00 !
