London Review of Books

Sometimes, especially on a rainy day, there's nothing better for the soul than a wander around a good bookshop. A friend recently subscribed me to the fortnightly issues of the London Review of Books (makes a great present for a bookworm like me) and mentioned that there is a London Review Bookshop plus tea and cake next door. With a spare hour after the busy PG Live show this month I popped over. I very much enjoyed perusing the shelves especially the art, illustration and poetry. I appreciated the well curated collection and it made a welcome break from screen time + scrolling through over stuffed amazon listings. Lovely pot of earl grey too.

Cobalt AW19

Following on from Father's Day at the weekend, it seems like a good time to talk about the latest additions to the best selling super stylish men's collection Cobalt I designed for Cinnamon Aitch. With its signature modern colour palette and natural textures, Cobalt's original style picks up on traditional paper collage techniques that I love and contrasts this with contemporary graphic lines + zingy foil.

I hugely enjoyed creating these new additions for AW19. The new designs follow on from the SS19 release and embrace our love of the great outdoors and also those lovely times together at home. The latest release features icons of landrovers, yachts, football, birthday cake and wine. Each card is packed with a unique bespoke concrete patterned envelope. The new designs launched this month at PG Live are now available in the shops and direct from Cinnamon Aitch.

Great to see a little mention in PG Buzz yesterday from Papilo for the Father's collection Chrome!

Tiger Lily

Hot off the press, excitingly here is Tiger Lily, a fabulously eye catching greetings collection I created in a new collaboration with Portfolio Cards. The everyday range features a rich, vibrant colour palette with accents of neon and flourishes of gold foil - perfect timing to brighten a gloomy June day. Lush illustrations inspired by the natural world portray wild, exotic flora and fauna. The design style embraces a flamboyant, elegant and painterly approach. Each design is printed in the UK and is packed with a pearlised envelope. Launched at Progressive Greetings Live 2019 and soon to be available in the shops!

PG Live 2019

Ah, what a fantastic day at PG Live yesterday. It was so lovely to catch up with everyone and fabulous to see the amazing new projects up on the walls. 

Hugely exciting to find the beautiful little new range Aurora designed for Cinnamon Aitch shimmering delightfully with it's special gold foil. We have added some fantastic new designs to the Cobalt range which premiered at last year's show. In a brand new collaboration with Portfolio excitingly two wonderful new collections launched, the richly colourful Tiger Lily & the very lovely sparkly Pearl Drops. More on the fabulous newness soon, in the meantime here are some snaps from the show.
