Melly and Me
Bags

 
Rosalie Quinlan has teamed-up with her talented younger sister, Melanie, to create a range of patterns that are fresh and simple with a modern feel. For the new label, the girls were inspired by modern Japanese fabrics as well as trends in accessories and home decorating.

The patterns are designed to appeal to women who would love to explore their creativity but are more interested in modern trends than traditional country styles. However, all the range can be made in country fabrics to give a completely different look!

To get in touch with the designers and to find out more about their latest design inspirations visit the Melly & Me blog www.mellyandme.typepad.com.
