Fabulous Fabrics: Marina Cavalieri (Australia)

Check out these amazing and bright fabrics by Marina Cavalieri. These wonderfully designed textiles are hand-printed onto certified organic and natural fibers.

The textiles designed by Marina Cavalieri are perfect for home accents, soft furnishing, upholstery and fashion clothing and accessories.

On top of their small production company and printing in small batches onto organic and natural fibers, the company is also working towards Fair Trade certification, to ensure that communities receive a fair wage and adhere to ethical practices.

You’ll find cottons, linen, silk and nettle in the collection, as well as wonderful accent pillows organized into Floresca, Organza and Marina.

I can’t get over how fresh and vibrant these prints are. Something wonderful and different and eco-friendly.
