Hello!
I'm Clare, the designer and maker behind Clare Mazitelli Designs, a printed textile business I run from home in Canberra, Australia.
With a background in graphic and web design I have always loved design and often dreamed of having my own creative business. While on maternity leave in Brighton, UK in 2017 I decided it was 'now or never' and brought my idea to life.
I'm passionate about all things art and design and believe there's great value in creating products with real meaning and soul behind them. To be able to make something someone will cherish and enjoy for a long time is a wonderful thing.
If you also love design and appreciate products that balance style, practicality and quality I hope you'll find something here you really love.
My fabrics are printed by Frankie & Swiss in Melbourne using an environmentally gentle approach that is carried right through the print studio which is committed to running a low impact, sustainable practice. The fabric is a natural fibre linen-cotton blend and is printed with non toxic, solvent free, water based pigment inks.
The leather straps are vegetable-tanned, an eco-friendly tanning process using natural materials.
