Vicky Yorke Designs

My agents, Jewel Branding & Licensing will again be exhibiting my designs at Surtex in New York and Licensing Expo in Las Vegas later this month. This year Surtex runs from May 21st - 23rd and Licensing Expo from May 23rd - 25th. With both shows happening back to back for the first time, I've been super busy updating my portfolio with fresh new designs!  All of my designs begin as hand drawings, so for months now I have been drawing, drawing, drawing - which has been wonderful! Here are a few examples - You can see more by following my  Instagram  @vickyyorkedesigns where I have documented much of my preparation for the shows.  I am so inspired by the sea and recently took a working holiday to the coast to do more sketching and to provide some last minute inspiration for new collections. I'm now in the final stage of preparation, pulling all of my patterns together and creating product mock-ups. Below is a sneaky peak at some of my collections, the

Over at With Love From they are gearing up for Mother's Day, which is 26th March here in the UK. They've added a number of new items into my product collection featuring a new phrase in my bespoke hand drawn typography against a backdrop of bold and colourful confetti hearts. The sentiment, 'thank you for being you' is perfect for Mum or Nan and features across a number of new products including box frames, (which have the choice of a black or white frame)... ... a gorgeous silver plated handbag mirror...  ... and this super-huggable cushion that is filled with an over-sized inner to make it extra-plump and luxurious!  Cushions are now also available in my 'Mr & Mrs' design, so if you are celebrating a wedding or anniversary this could make a perfect gift to mark that special day!  Back with Mother's Day and With Love From have also just released a box frame in my pink confetti hearts design, which has space for 3 lines o

  Those of you who have been following my blog for a while will remember that last year I launched a selection of personalised handmade items through my Etsy shop. I have been so busy with design work over the last year that unfortunately I just don't have time to make products myself at the moment.  Never fear though! I have now teamed up exclusively with the wonderful people at withlovefrom.com to bring you a brand new selection of personalised gifts illustrated with my 'Bright Hearts' designs. And my products couldn't be in better hands. With Love From is a family run company who have been experts in engraving and printing personalised products for many years. I love their philosophy: We believe there's nothing more special than the feeling you get when somebody gives you a really thoughtful gift. One that really means something to both the giver and the recipient... We want to help people create and celebrate memories and to give gifts that m

I'm very happy to announce that I am now represented by   Jewel Branding & Licensing   exclusively in North America and Korea. I am so excited to be listed among their amazing designers and brands and can't wait to work with these brilliant agents!

I've been working really hard over the last few weeks to finally get my website online to showcase my newest designs! It's taken a lot of planning, but I'm really pleased with how it's looking! It's a sad fact that as a designer I have to consider how much I share online, because there is always a risk that designs could get stolen or copied, so rather than being a complete portfolio of my licensing collections, the website acts as a glimpse of my design style and personality! Anyone who likes the designs showcased on the website can  contact me to view my full licensing portfolio. Take a look - I hope you like it!
