Based on the east coast of Australia, Claire Ritchie is a Visual artist, Textile Designer and Illustrator. Her synonymous brand uses feel-good colour and shape to create a bright place in the world to keep coming back to, by welcoming her pieces into your home or gifting to a friend.

Designed and made from her home studio in Brighton, Queensland, Claire crafts a selection of artwork, accessories, clothing and home-wares. Each thoughtfully made piece is brought to life through engaging and bold prints.

Claire studied Clothing Production and Fashion & Textile Design in her hometown Perth, Western Australia before moving to the east coast in 2013 with her sewing machine and a string of vibrant fabrics in tow. While the formative years of her business were spent in the well-caffeinated streets of Melbourne, in 2018, she packed up her beloved studio and headed north toward Brisbane for a sunny change of pace, palm trees and unforeseen humidity.

Underpinning Claire’s ethos is a dedication to staying true to her values of treating our environment with care; using low-impact inks, re-using scrap, sourcing local producers. Claire challenges consumers to shop more carefully, to buy high quality items and treat them with care.
Along with collaborating with other socially-minded companies; Myoni, Hey Tiger, Slowdown Studio, Causebox, Arc Dining and many more.

Claire hopes her efforts to elevate thoughtfully designed items will inspire people to shop with the more care and appreciation for quality.
