Who is Prints Charming?

Born out of mutual love of good design, colour and textiles, Prints Charming is the combined talents of Cath Derksema and Kirsten Junor. We met in the late 80’s while both working for John Kaldor Fabricmaker: Kirsten in a commercial role, Cath as a designer. Inevitably we went our separate ways, Cath going on to co-found the hugely successful Art Park homewares label followed by a solo enterprise under the name Masterpeace. Kirsten made a sideways move, after studying at NIDA, into costume making for film and theatre.

Fifteen years later in 2003, a chance encounter saw us meet again. Almost instantly we fell upon the idea of combining our talents and going into business together to produce wonderful handprinted fabrics. Through all the different directions our growing business has taken we still have the same strong believe as three years ago, the use of great design, wonderful colours and original designs.
