Prêt-à-Porter

One of my favorite parts of working as an interior designer is when I get to meet with vendors about new collections for the season, or new product lines. The other week I was wowed by the duo behind Porter Teleo, which produces hand-painted and hand-printed wallcoverings and textiles. I have always been enamored with ancient techniques such as hand-blocking, especially after giving it a whirl during a trip to India a couple years ago.

Porter Teleo, a Kansas City-based business (love that they are based in mid-America), puts a modern edge on the artistry of handmade fabrics and wallcoverings! They are so pretty I could envision using them to craft a couture garment. Check out their beauty online for yourself.
