DESIGNER - esther nariyoshi

Esther Nariyoshi is a Surface Pattern Designer and Letterer. Esther has been really excited to showcase a new SS18 collection named "Alice in Dreamland". It was named after her daughter, who is a lovely bubbly 3 years old. The collection was inspired by a month of her early waking (4-5am!). And this collection began to come together around the same time. Now that Esther's daughter starts to wake up at a reasonable time she thought she would name the collection “Alice in Dreamland”,so that she can remember this time with fond nursery patterns. Available on Spoonflower.

KIDS DESIGN - mothercare part 2

I had so many interesting snaps from my trip to Mothercare that I had to create a part two. So in this post we have patterns and placement prints from boys and girls clothing. But there are also a few snaps of a nursery decor range called 'Hello Friend' featuring a fun animal print mixing stylised safari animals with alphabet letters. All these designs are available in stores now and online here.
