HollyMae Illustrates: Earth Positive Apparel and Prints

HollyMae Illustrates (HMI) is a UK-based talented illustrator and designer who encourages buyers to consider sustainability in their purchasing choices. HollyMae works with local companies in the UK and designs a range of earth-positive apparel and paper goods. Her quirky designs are both artistically beautiful and fun!

Upon graduating from the Arts University College at Bournemouth with a degree in Illustration, founder, Holly Mae, embarked on a number of fashion illustration commissions for magazines, books and fashion labels, as well as giving lectures on her work to Fashion students. As a designer, she always had a curiosity for trying new approaches in her work; this has led her to drawing in various styles from bridal illustration to surface pattern design. She is now excited to build her own brand HollyMae Illustrates, offering customers a selection of lovingly created gifts, clothing and homeware, all of which started as a single illustration!

HollyMae Illustrates offers customers the opportunity to purchase beautiful products that are ethically and environmentally responsible. Her work is a combination of loose ink illustrations and detailed pencil work patterns inspired by nature, the written word and fashion. Her products come in a variety of formats including art prints, apparel, and home ware – most of which are made using ethically-sourced paper and cotton.

Can we just stop and admire this Chow Chow top for a second!? I absolutely love the detailed design and the material is so soft! The best parts are that:

  1. It is unisex – happy people all around! (my brother in law has relentlessly threatened to steal this top).
  2. How versatile it is – from day to night to all seasons, whether wearing it on its own when it is warmer outside to cozy layers in the cold.

I have also had way too much fun wrapping Chrismukkah gifts the last few days – how could you not smile when seeing these insanely cute festive Chow Chow illustrations under the Christmas tree?
