Renowned fabric house St Leger & Viney delivers with their latest collection from Print House.

This is a sentence I did not think I’d utter anytime soon: I miss ikat prints. My yearning was recently reignited while viewing the newest Tree of Life Collection from Print House. Designed by local interior designer Jen Jones, the collection pays homage to her passion for history, art and accessible beauty, marrying traditional techniques with modern design sensibilities.

Rooted in the charm of antique textiles and ancient myths, the collection's linen and cotton fabrics deliver striking designs rich in texture and storytelling. A few of my favourites include 'Mythical Bird', a hand-painted tapestry-like design that exudes timeless grandeur; 'Tuk Tuk', born from triangular potato prints, brings whimsical creativity to the collection, while 'Everglade' reimagines my beloved ikat in a fresh, modern way. A perfect kaleidoscope of colour and craftsmanship, Tree of Life by Print House is exclusively available at St Leger & Viney showrooms nationwide.
