a very good friend of a very good friend of mine (that wee german with the cool shoes again*) happens to be yet another of those super talented creative people i know. and she’s another neighbour**. a colourful, clever & masterly screen printing textile designer called
laura spring
taking inspiration from the weather, lauras designs have a brightly coloured, bold motif’d, practicality about them – like i would definitely use the duffel bag on some kind of wet weathered quest to the market or take the tea towels on an adventure weekend in a camper van. they would absolutely handle the beating & look fecking good doing it. hardy, useful & super cool.
bags, pouches, tea towels, laptop covers – her smaller batched textiles are screen-printed by hand in her glasgow studio and larger orders are produced by carefully hand selected british manufacturers who laura sources with quality & economy in mind. as she does also with her fabrics. which allows her products to be both ethical a n d affordable. win win win win.
you want to buy things from lauras shop. we all need brilliant, fetching, helpful goods in our homes & on our person. they are a colourful J O Y . have a look around her website to see the full range & read more about laura & her approach here.
… before you go can i just say – laura designed a range of tea towels named dave. i feel that’s all i had to say all along really – t e a t o w e l s n a m e d d a v e .
happy shopping! – c x
