20 Oct Get to Know: Walter G
We have a new textile brand in the shop that you’re going to love…and it goes by the name of Walter G. Let’s learn a bit about them!
This Australian-owned and Sydney-based brand was founded by two best friends, Lauren Emerson and Genevieve Hewson.
Lauren and Genevieve spent two years traveling extensively together to places such as India, South America and Vietnam, learning as much as they could about the textiles and techniques of these regions while they were there. They even spent 6 months living in India living in remote villages, immersing themselves in the arts of indigo and block printing. How cool is that?!
They made their debut at Life Instyle in Sydney in 2012, and the rest is history.
The owners describe their brand as “lived-in, imperfect, timeless, relaxed, and artisanal”. They design all of their patterns and develop them right alongside a team of Indian artisans, and all of their textiles are completely hand-blocked, which is so awesome.
They offer fabrics, pillows, and table linens. Take a look at some of the different patterns available!
Pillows:
Fabrics: they offer their different fabrics in canvas, cotton and linen.
Table linens: (absolutely adorable and perfect for a beach house!)
Their fabrics are very versatile and can be easily mixed in with different styles to create a stylish, casual look, and this is just a glimpse of the patterns they offer!
There’s some pretty great info on their website regarding the indigo and block printing processes that are used to create their products. Definitely worth checking out!
We’re so happy to have Walter G’s beautiful textiles in the shop, and we hope you’ll stop by to see them!
