Voyage Maison by Mavromac

All the way back in February when Covid19 was a speck on the horizon of our reality, I popped in to Mavromac and chatted with the always-so-lovely Janice. I caught up on a range that they are stockists for and was literally swooning. 

There's a lot to love about Voyage Maison and their gorgeous fabrics. Firstly, they are based in Scotland which appeals to my Scottish heritage and no-fuss attitude. Secondly, their fabrics all bear the same painterly, romantic fingerprint. They're elegant without being stuffy, and classic with a contemporary twist. 

What I love most about their whimsical aesthetic is that's restful and naive. And, all the designs featured here are printed on lush velvet or a cotton/linen base.

Although Voyage fabrics are quintessentially British in their mood, I love that they have borrowed South Africa's much loved Proteas.

Voyage Maison's Wilderness range embraces the spirit of the great outdoors and uses a fresh palette that is applied in swathes of inky watercolour. 

Every peasant adores a pheasant! 

Torrington design has depth, richness and the glorious tactile quality of velvet.

My dad has terrifically green fingers and we always had beautiful fuchsia's in our garden that were regularly feasted on by sunbirds.

Heralding the Scottish highlands! The scenery in the Wilderness design below reminds me of the expansive beauty of the scenery in the James Bond film Skyfall.

Printed on a blend of cotton and linen, Chaffinch and Jack Rabbit  have a sweet sensibility that could be beautifully applied to a nursery that can endure throughout childhood without dating.

The fabrics from the Tiverton range is a nod to the arts and crafts movement from the turn of the century. Scenes from nature depicted in a the painterly style that is synonymous with Voyage Maison's fingerprint set the tone for this abundant, colour soaked range.

Birds of a feather flock to pomegranates! 

Weycroft and Colyford are printed onto a sublime velvet that sturdy but soft.

Get out m'kilt! Cirsiun bears the Scottish National flower, the thistle. Like a smooth scotch, it goes down easily, it's watercolour brushstrokes very forgiving of rogue dirt that might stop by.

Azima from the Iridescence range reminds me of Australia's Rainbow Eucalyptus trees and is the perfect contemporary co-ordinate that adds some pop to the quiet Scottish landscape.

I hope this post has been a feast for your eyes and a tonic for your soul.
