Cassandra Harper’s textiles are influenced by the past, infused with the present and designed for a life time.
Natural linens and pure cottons are used as the base cloth for Cassandra Harper textiles, which are hand printed in India by master artisans. Cassandra has a deep appreciation for all textiles produced by hand and the textured beauty that is created by layering colour with carved wooden blocks. The time and care involved with this traditional technique produces uniquely authentic pieces, each one with tiny variations, none exactly the same, making the textiles special and covetable.
Cassandra has been creating textiles in this craft for nearly twenty years, travelling to India annually to design her collections. She is happiest when she is exploring her creativity alongside master printers sampling endless possibilities in new colours and blocks.
Her passion is to keep the ancient craft of block printing alive and share the beauty of textiles with others.
Cassandra’s beautiful designs draw on European textile patterns from the 16th and 18th centuries. She anchors these classic designs with modern colours, fresh stripes and her own unique twist to create her signature style.
She draws inspiration from her travels around the globe, her love of exotic destinations and her time living in South East Asia.
