Our Process
Hand Painted For You.
We are makers - we value the process and artistry at the core of our work.
Our prints are truly a labor of love. We use high pigment watercolors to hand-paint artwork that is eye-popping and fun to wear. From expressive paint strokes to very detailed line-drawing techniques, we spend countless hours developing each of our prints that eventually makes it into a silhouette.
Each and every print starts with a hand-painting, which is then digitized and perfected in our design studio. We hope to share this journey with you so that you can appreciate the artistry behind the hand-painted print on your dress.
So jump in and enter our colorful society of print - we hope to inspire the artist within you!
