Fabulous Fabrics: Kirin & Co (Australia)

Kirin & Co is the online shop of designer and textile artist Lara Cameron of Melbourne, Australia. Cameron produces limited edition, hand screen printed fabrics as well as handmade items such as super-fab clutch purses.

Cameron prints on two types of fabrics: a cotton/linen blend printed with environmentally friendly inks, and a new hemp/organic cotton blend. The cotton/linen blend isn’t as green as we usually look for in the Fabulous Fabrics series, but Cameron is definitely making efforts to green her fabrics and we respect that. It isn’t always easy or possible to green everything overnight!

Kirin & Co sells fabric by the metre as well as in fabric packs. Since the fabrics are limited edition, the fabric packs as well as the fabric itself can sell out.

Read her blog, Kirin Notebook, for updates on when new items are going into the shop. You can also drool over the portfolio pictures of her fabrics on her main website or the sold items list on her shop website, lamenting that you did not see them in time to buy them. Seriously, y’all, this stuff is gorgeous.

All of Cameron’s fabric is machine washable, and she explicitly gives permission to use the fabric in commercial projects. All prices on her website are in Australian currency, but those of us outside of Australia can use the currency converter she links to on the site and pay with Paypal.
