I’ve been gutting out my studio, having bit of a spring clean and getting ready for the Meadow Mill Wasps refurbishment.  I’ve been sorting lots of copyright designs back into collections – geometrics, florals, paisleys, menswear shirting, patchwork and embelishment.

From August 1999 to 2007 I worked freelance as a commercial textile designer creating fabric samples following current trends and selling the copyright of my designs to fashion houses and fabric convertors worldwide through agents (David Lee Design Ltd and Lewis and Lewis). Fashion houses such as Debenhams, Etro, East, Nougat and John Kaldor have used my designs as part of their collections.

I love generating ideas and working to briefs.  The collections I still have, I own the copyright and they available for sale, please email me if interested: hello@louisekirby.com
