Hello,
this is Harriet R Stevens – designer and head of social media at
Decorque. Firstly we would like to say a huge Thank You to Faye for
having us on her blog and agreeing to a series of contributor posts &
blog swaps with us, on all things creative! Looking forward to plenty
more exciting posts!
So
I guess you are all wondering who we are and what Decorque is all
about? Well here’s a little bit our business and what inspires us!
Decorque
is a family-run business which launched in September 2012 –
comprising of a talented team of four that manage all areas of the
business; from graphic design, eCommerce & SEO, social media &
surface pattern design. We are pretty lucky to have such a
multi-talented team with diverse skills!
Decorque’s
founder & head designer Lesley Rudman Stevens has been working in
the textile and fashion industry all her life, and decided to apply
her unique and highly decorative fashion-led designs to home, wall
art & stationery products through an eCommerce business.
Decorque
aims to bring new, different products to the market, such as our Cork placemat & coaster ranges. We
digitally print our designs onto the eco-friendly, premium cork
surface to create hard wearing, heat resistant, and practical yet
warm & beautiful decorative items for the home. Bet you haven’t
seen anything like this range before!?
We
turn this……into this!
Alongside
these, we also take our designs onto opaline plastic placemats, art
prints, greetings cards & tags, and we are now expanding into
coordinating office products and have just launched a limited edition
handcrafted card range which
is available now!
We
are always inspired, whether that be through fashion or interior
trends, graphic design, things we find on Pinterest, artists or via
other retailers, for example. The main thing you can say about
Decorque is that we LOVE pattern! We also love to combine media –
by mixing hand drawn & painted elements with Photoshop &
Illustrator components to create that unique design full of depth &
interest. We like to take surface pattern to a new level!
We
have been working hard over the last few months to build our brand
awareness and will continue to expand our ranges into 2013. Along the
way we have had the opportunity to work alongside some hugely
creative and inspiring individuals and small businesses, and have
formed a strong network of creatives who inspire us daily! We’d
like to thank them all for their continued support and look forward
to more collaborations this year.
We
currently sell on our website,
through etsy and folksy as well as partaking in offline craft, gift & art fairs in our
local area. We will be looking to expand our outlets over the next
year or so, and welcome any creative & licensing opportunities.

well as features and introductory posts by other designers, like the
