Quick Overview

A traditional French toile from a far, a closer look reveals a light-hearted take on fashions of the last century. You’ll see an Edwardian woman talking to a punk, a teddy boy chatting up a flapper girl, city gents checking out a Celia Birtwell-clad chick as she strolls past the Biba store on the Kings Road, and an 80s Vivienne Westwood model leaning against a lamp post as a British Bulldog takes a pee.

Eco Information

All Barneby Gates papers are made in the UK and are PEFC accredited (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification). Both water based inks and solvent inks are used, but where solvent inks are used the fumes are extracted and incinerated on site (meaning our factory vents air from their chimney that is actually cleaner than the surrounding atmosphere!) All ink is recycled on site. Recipes are kept of what is contained in each bucket of ink, which allows the factory workers to then alter the remaining ink to another colour with a similar recipe that can be used on another job. Waste paper is converted into low-grade pulp products such as insulation.
