A Victorian Kew

A Victorian Kew is the title of Rachel’s Final Major Project, inspired by Kew Gardens in London along with the handmade aesthetic of the 19th century Arts and Crafts movement. Designed for the high-street stationery and gifting market, the collection is highly trend-led and commercial whilst providing an original feel through its hand-crafted nature. The prints feature on a range of exciting, innovative products from unique desk accessories to thoughtful greetings cards and decoratively embellished cushions. Florals, foliage, fruits, and nature provide the main inspiration for the collection, along with Victorian ceramic ornaments and the Kew Palace building. The Victorian Palm House structure at Kew features heavily in the print designs, combining beautiful delicate florals with thoughtful, contemporary geometrics in a series of cohesive and coordinating designs.
