Happy Clients

Amazing work. It’s a happy, colorful but still very clear overall impression; it’s really fun to look at. There is a great balance between, on the one hand, the complexity and respect for the topic, and, on the other hand, reducing it to the essentials and ensuring easy access.
It becomes clear at first glance at how the material is made up, and it looks great.
I think it’s great, I am absolutely thrilled, and I would like to express my thanks for this work. (Translated from German)

We saw the unique pattern from Ulla that caught our eye and thought: This design must look amazing on clothes!
After a few weeks of development and bringing this print to life, not only us but many more happy customers are amazed by their new ‘Peachy Snake’ items in their wardrobe!
