THE PROCESS
it all starts in Paris, where we design the prints by hand.By designing and creating each piece by hand in Paris and producing them in Italy's Como region, known for its silk production, your brand ensures attention to detail and quality craftsmanship.
The decision to use watercolour-based printing for all the pieces demonstrates a dedication to using eco-friendly and non-toxic materials. This not only reduces the environmental impact but also ensures that the scarves retain their unique, handcrafted aesthetic.
The choice to finish all the scarves by hand, employing the skills of local craftsmen, adds a personal touch to each piece. This not only supports the local community but also helps preserve traditional craftsmanship and expertise.
By sourcing all materials locally from dead stock, your brand promotes sustainability and reduces waste. Using dead stock materials not only gives new life to unused fabrics but also ensures that no additional resources are consumed in the production process.
Overall, your brand's commitment to handmade production, sustainable materials, and supporting local communities reflects a conscious effort to create beautiful products while minimizing the environmental impact. By embracing these principles, your brand contributes to a more sustainable and ethical fashion industry.
Designing the artwork by hand in Paris adds a unique touch and allows for creativity and craftsmanship. Once the artwork is completed, you have a couple of options for preparing it for inkjet printing.
One option is to scan the artwork in high resolution. This ensures that every detail and nuance of your hand-drawn design is captured accurately. Scanning the artwork also allows for easy digital manipulation and editing if needed before printing.
Another option is to combine multiple artworks or elements to create a cohesive design. This can be done digitally using graphic design software. By combining different hand-drawn elements, you can create a more intricate and complex design that reflects your brand's aesthetic.
Once the artwork is finalized and prepared digitally, it can be sent to Italy for inkjet printing. Italy is known for its expertise in textile printing, and outsourcing the printing process to a specialized facility ensures high-quality results. Inkjet printing technology allows for precise and vibrant color reproduction, bringing your handcrafted designs to life on fabric.
By following this process, you are able to combine the artistry of hand-drawn designs with the efficiency and precision of inkjet printing, resulting in sustainable and visually stunning products.
