Vicky Yorke Designs

My second collection for Camelot launched in April. ‘ Village Life ’ was inspired completely by the village where I live in Worcestershire, UK and as with all of my collections began with illustrations drawn in pen and ink of motifs that represent semi-rural life and the community here. These designs always make me smile because when I look at them I think of home: vibrant blooms and plucky chickens from the village allotment outside the window of my home studio;  ducks and pig prints from the farm at the bottom of the road; a big statement typography print references the post office, the village store, the church, the bridle path, the canal, even our annual beer festival and more – basically it covers everything that makes this village a community and why I love living here so much. But the biggest reference to where I live is our iconic clock which stands in the village centre and was erected to celebrate the millennium – it’s a very importa...

I’m so excited to share with you that my second fabric collection for Camelot Fabrics  has launched on their website . ‘Village Life’ is a particularly special collection for me because it’s inspired by my home in semi-rural Worcestershire, UK.  Prints include bold floral blooms from the village allotment... ... while patterns featuring hens, cockerels, pigs and runner ducks are all inspired by the farm that is a five minute walk from my home ( - I love those runner ducks so much!)  Typography patterns aim to reflect the community spirit of the village and even feature the clock at the village centre.  Camelot Fabrics say:  "Let the sun shine in! Vicky Yorke’s sophomore collection is about as charming as it gets with sunny yellow flowers, roosters, geese and pigs. The show-stopper: an edge-to-edge “I love my garden” border print." The designs are all in a super-pretty (and very on trend!) grey and yellow...

Following the successful launch of a selection of my products at Autumn Fair, I was delighted to have even more products featured across two stands at Spring Fair this year. Spring Fair is the UK's number one trade fair for home and gift products, showcasing the the best products and product launches from over 2,500 exhibitors. It's basically the place to be and be seen for UK home and gift retail and attracts the most influential UK retail buyers! I was honoured therefore that my licensing partner Melamaster devoted an ENTIRE STAND to promoting my products! It was absolutely huge and it was such a delight to see the stand area filled with all the bright and vibrant colours of my mix and match collections. With 4 collections on display, the stand was divided into 4 areas and the products were displayed on lovely whitewashed pallets and crates to really help the colours to pop!  On show were products including trays, pot stands, chop boards, place mats, coasters ...

Following the success of my Christmas range for Melamaster , I’m delighted to announce that I will be launching 3 new collections with them at Spring Fair 2018. Each range contains 4 complimentary new designs, which can be used on their own, or you can mix and match the patterns for a more eclectic kitchenware look!  JEWELS OF THE SEA The first range is called ‘Jewels Of The Sea’ and was inspired by the colours and moods of the beautiful coastal scenery of one of my favourite places, Studland in Dorset. Designs include shells, starfish, waves and fish - all in a calming coastal colour palette. Each pattern is available on a large variety of different products including trays, placemats, coasters, chop boards, pot stands and much more.  Click the name below each image to view all the products available in that design.  Seascape Seashore Shoaling Starfish GEOMETRICO The second collection is full of geometric loveliness!
