put a spring in your step...

Oh we do love a bit of screen printing here in The Kingdom.

Laura Spring, originally from Staffordshire, is a textile designer/maker living and working in Glasgow creating bold graphic print designs that are transformed through screen and digital print into fashion accessories, wonderful homeware and smashing stationery.

She is a graduate of Glasgow School of Art where she was awarded a BA in graphic design in 2002. Always preferring to ‘make’, Laura began working in various costume departments within the theatre and film industry after graduation. However in late 2011 after a summer craft residency at Cove Park, Scotland, Laura established her own eponymous label and print studio in the heart of Glasgow and took her first collection to London to exhibit as part of Charlotte Abraham’s ‘Spotted’ showcase at Top Drawer.

Her online shop is packed with treasures but I find myself specially smitten with her jaunty duffle bags. You just always look like you are off on a little adventure when you carry one.

I'm not a massive fan of small bags but I could make an exception for one of Lauras dinky wristlet bags. These are just perfection...

Bold, graphic prints combined with bright colours transformed into beautifully crafted products are at the core of Laura Spring’s design practice. With a passion for colour, print, pattern and process, Laura creates covetable annual collections of functional yet vibrant homewares and accessories as well as regularly collaborating with others and all at affordable prices.
