Satchel & Sage

Whilst at college today, my friend suggested that I check out this small company/business online who have a love of design, illustration and typography. They produce 'colourfully designed printed goods and textiles that incorporate hand-drawn typography, playful illustrations, and sophisticated patterns.' This, is Satchel & Sage.

I've become quite fond of this company, as their word is cute, fresh and hand-made.
Here are a few of my favourite items of theirs:

On the site, it states that these are screen prints on wood. I really like how they look, they appear to be very natural and subtle. I'd love to have a go at screen printing onto wood myself, but I'm unsure of how the process works. I feel that printing them on wood instead of another surface helps to life the print from the background, but it also brings them together as they both have a theme of nature.                         

They also sell many different products such as gift tags greetings cards, cushions, notebooks, post cards, frames prints and calendars. There are a series of similar prints on the site which I'd love to own -  they're just lovely and simple, basic colours and not too 'busy' as some would say. They also feature a trio of words that could be considered as 'motivational' or 'inspirational', linking them together in the middle like a venn diagram. I also like how a selection of shapes and different typefaces have been merged together in an interesting way to create these pieces, I'd love to know where the companies ideas come from.
