Hi, You have found Rosie Dog Design.

About Rosie Dog Design

My name is Lorraine and I am the designer behind Rosie Dog Design. I trained as a printed textile designer at Winchester School of art and have worked as a freelance textile designer for both fashion and interiors since that time. For 12 years I also worked as a technical instructor at a local university teaching textile design, art workshops and Adobe software.

My passion, love and hobby are surface design. I spend a lot of time out and about looking and recording ideas that I can use in a design. I still freelance, selling designs to the fashion industry, which challenges my drawing and technical abilities, but also allows me to be experimental and diverse in my style. You never stop learning as a designer or as a teacher.

Rosie Dog Design began in 2017 as part of a project for my Masters degree looking into professional development. I wanted to create something that would showcase my designs.

There is a wonderful quality to silk, it is luxurious and exciting to print on, giving the colours vibrancy and life. Ochre yellows can look like gold on silk, which adds a surprising element to the designs. By creating scarf designs, it is my hope that people will buy with care and chose a design that they will want to keep and treasure for a number of years.

I love colour and my influences, although very broad, definitely stem from my travels, nature and architecture. All my designs are hand drawn or painted, which is beautifully replicated by digital printing, allowing me to recreate my designs in the same broad colour palette that I use in my art work.

The collection is gradually expanding to include art prints, cushions and cards, although some4 of these products are only available at live events.

All of my products are digitally printed in the U.K and hemmed or sewn in the U.K.

Digital printing uses similar dyes to screen printing processes to produce beautiful, vibrant, permanent prints but there is less wash off so the process is better for the environment.

I am only producing very small batches of scarves so the production costs are quite high, but by investing in a good silk scarf you are buying a piece of art, which you will be able to wear for many years. I am the only stockist of Rosie Dog products, if you see any of my designs for sale through any international websites, they are unauthorised copies.
