About Claire Louise

Claire Louise is an artist and designer from Durham in the UK. As a child, Claire was immersed in arts and crafts and so began her creative journey. Her creativity led her to take a degree in fashion and she graduated in 2007 with 1st Class honours. In the same year, she was short-listed for the SDC (Society of Dyers and Colourists) Textile & Colour Award at Graduate Fashion Week and her hand-painted silk scarves were short-listed for London Fashion Week. Working with mixed mediums of water-colours, fabrics and machine embroidery, Claire’s designs have merged with the world of greetings cards, homeware and personal beauty care. And, with past stockists such as John Lewis, Fenwick, Hoopers, and large independent retailer’s such as Blackwells, Kew Gardens, Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust and Chester Zoo and Wayfair and LA Philharmonic Store, Claire is quickly becoming popular in the industry. The brand reached the finals for The Henries Awards 2022 in the 'Best Art Range' range with their 'In Full Bloom' greeting card range Best Art Range 2024 and 2025 with her Powder Bloom Range.
