Exposed Designers is here to support emerging textile designers and as we love to promote new brands we thought we would introduce you to ONE NINE EIGHT FIVE. Established in 2016 and very recently launched in September, this London-based British lifestyle brand is recognised for their creative prints and colour combinations.

Launched by Laura Kelmo, Brae specialises in beautiful silk scarves printed in the British Isles. Here at Exposed Designers, we love how each piece tells a story, we can really feel a sense of journey within her work. The bold colourful patterns are inspired by the landscapes of Scotland and we can really see how the beauty of nature is reflected within these prints. We asked Laura a few questions about her time working with her brand Brae.

Here at Exposed Designers HQ we ensure that our main goal is to provide support, inspiration and to give exposure to textile designers globally, so what a perfect brand for us to introduce to you all! We love that Swatchhub have such a variety of clients from students to established designer brands. Whether you are a designer looking for some help to add that final sparkle to your products or a bigger brand in search for new unique designs, Swatchhub are here to help!
