About Our Designs
Pearl de Bressy is a digital wallpaper and fabric brand launched in the summer of 2016 with a view to producing rich, complex designs that surprise and uplift.
Vibrant, earthy and otherworldly, our designs are rooted in the natural world and merge the ordinary with the extraordinary. You'll discover exotic birds and tropical trees in amongst sea cabbages and lichens, crustaceans and taxidermy. Layers of sometimes surreal images are compressed and repeated to create ambiguous textures and patterns that are simultaneously strange and familiar, highly detailed and always exquisite. |
About Pearl de Bressy
|
Our designs were born out of a need to take our creativity further, to create our own identity and move from upcyclers to designer-makers. The name comes from Michelle’s Italian Nana whose family name is Cosimato. For reasons that have been lost in time, the family changed their name after moving from Naples to London in the early 20th century. They were an exuberant and trilingual family and passed themselves off as French, the de Bressy’s. Great grandmother Luisa became Louise, Nana was Marguerite instead of Margarita, Renato was uncle Rene. The female line was flamboyant, creative and stylish, so it was with them in mind that Pearl de Bressy was born.
