The hand painted, and therefore slightly uneven, stripes are inspired by Parisian textiles from the ‘1825-1830 French textile manufacturers’ sample book’. The pattern is a re-imagination of the classic stripe, and the ‘perfect imperfect’ hand-painted pattern creates a mesmerising and atmospheric expression. The soft and simple stripes come to life in a distinctive colour scheme inspired from a ‘wallpaper diary’ given to Helene Blanche by her great grandmother. The bold Painted Stripe pattern is available both as a printed linen and a printed silk, and as wallpaper.
