About Rosie Dog Design

I’m Lorraine, the artist behind Rosie Dog Design. I trained in printed textiles at Winchester School of Art and have worked freelance in fashion and interior textile design ever since. Surface design is my passion: I spend a lot of time observing and sketching ideas for new work.

I still sell designs to the fashion industry, which pushes my drawing and technical skills and lets me experiment with different styles. I love printing on silk — it’s luxurious and makes colours vibrant; ochre yellows can look like gold on silk, adding a special touch. I design scarves hoping people choose pieces they’ll treasure for years.

My influences come from travel, nature and architecture. All my designs are hand-drawn or painted and reproduced by digital printing, which retains the full colour palette of the original artwork.

I’m the only official stockist of Rosie Dog scarves; any of my scarf designs sold on other international sites are unauthorised copies.

I have recently opened a shop on https://www.spoonflower.com/ stocking fabrics and wallpapers to buy by the meter and my greetings cards are available to buy through https://www.faire.com/

I am very proud to work with British companies, printing my scarves, fabrics and greetings cards. I also only buy all my packaging and art materials from UK based companies. I have listed them all below:

What began as a passion project has evolved into something more. We’re proud of where we’ve been and even more excited for what’s ahead.

What sets us apart isn’t just our process—it’s the intention behind it. We take time to understand, explore, and create with purpose at every turn.
