Ink & Spindle

I couldn't help but not share this with you. Having been a fan for a while, I felt it a shame that not many people in Malaysia have heard of this Australian fabric line. Ink & Spindle is a boutique textile studio in Melbourne owned by designers Lara Cameron & Tegan Rose. They design and hand screen print their own textiles using lovely organic cotton and hemp blend fabrics.

The process of screen printing is not easy, it requires quite a bit of patience and well, experience. In fact, it is because of this Australian brand that I picked up screen printing as a hobby. But i'll share that with you later when i'm ready.

Back to Ink & Spindle, their designs are pretty much inspired by nature and their hometown of Melbourne. Clearly printed on their fabrics is Australia's native flora and fauna, and you can get these prints in forms of bags, lampshades and homeware.

To find out more on Ink & Spindle, check out their website here. Keep in mind that they don't take orders by meter like we are used to here. They go by yardage. What's cool though is that they take custom orders because their textile range is largely printed in house.

Anyhow, their workmanship is pretty amazing adding on to the fact that they make these prints using their hands.
