Pukka Print Linen

Moving her young family to Bombay and living there from 2011-2013, Juliet immersed herself in Indian textiles and the block printing traditions. Having fallen in love with the old Chintz patterns and colouring produced in India over 300 years ago, Juliet designed the ‘Hema’ collection, working closely alongside the block carvers and printers.

Juliet earned a degree in  Fashion and Textiles at Bristol Polytechnic in the late eighties, before launching her career in PR. Initially for the infamous Lynne Franks, she worked with a wide variety of clients ranging from the singer Michael Jackson to Laurent Perrier Champagne, before moving out of London with her husband in order to focus on bringing up four children. India then beckoned and from there Juliet was able to indulge herself in a textile tradition going back centuries. Now Juliet is back in England,  Pukka Print is the culmination of years of dreams, ambition and hard work.

Showcased at the renowned Tissus d’Hélène showroom in Chelsea Harbour, the hand blocked prints on linen, all produced in India, have proved a hit with designers both here in the UK and abroad. The look is timeless and understated; the colours subtle and classic. The designs are inspired by Indian motifs and play with colour and scale. Soft aqua and dove blues, walnut brown, raspberry and blossom pinks and a stronger crimson and biting apple green are familiar yet reinterpreted in this developing design story.
