Lake August

Makers of hand-printed textiles and wallpapers inspired by natural world. Available to the trade at stockists across US, UK, AU. All printing is done in the USA.

A LOVE of land, sea and sky is reflected in the work of the textile line Lake August. Whether observing a tangle of agave and nasturtium plants in her native California or admiring the grace of geese over water in Scotland, designer Alexis Hartman finds endless inspiration in the natural world. THE FOUNDATION of the Lake August brand is in the beauty and integrity of well-made things. With each pa

ttern, product or collection we continue to explore natural materials and traditional techniques. OUR WALLPAPERS currently come in two qualities. Our recyclable clay-coated papers come from the first mill in the USA to receive Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) Chain of Custody Certification, and that manufactures using 100% renewable energy. Our handmade papers are made of 100% cotton rag using traditional methods. No bleaching or chemical agents are employed and each roll is made one at a time. We currently offer two options in this quality: the first is made from recycled denim garments, and second from recycled cotton and jute fibers. OUR LINEN comes from a five-generation family-owned Belgian manufacturer that upholds a tradition of farm stewardship, natural cultivation and sustainable production. Linen grown in that climate is easily grown without the use of pesticides and requires no irrigation and minimal soil enhancement. OUR CREATIVE PROCESS is one that always starts with a pencil or paintbrush. Patterns are translated from drawings, paintings and hand-carved blocks into silkscreens, and then screen printed by hand onto wallpaper or fabric, using water based inks.

My personal favorite of our new fabrics: Laguna in Sand. We played with the opacity of the inks, landing on a combination of opaque and transparent whites to suggest the look of sea foam washing up on the beach.

My original painting for our Sea Garden pattern, available in wallpaper and now in fabric. Those “flowers” you see on the left are flower coral - actually an animal, not a plant!

Laguna in Wave. I began this design with the idea of creating the look of a traditional chintz pattern, but made up of kelp, coral and anemones.

Introducing our two newest fabrics, Sea Garden and Laguna. Stag kelp, feather boa seaweed, painted anemone, stony coral: all of these beautiful sea things have made their way into these patterns, which originated from a series of watercolor paintings I made of California ocean life last year.

Both fabrics are available on our site now and on their way to our showrooms throughout the US, Canada and the UK.
Please email or DM for samples.
