The Kaffe Fassett Collective comprises Kaffe Fassett, Brandon Mably and Philip Jacobs.
It all began over 25 years ago with the launch of the book, Glorious Patchwork by Kaffe Fassett and Liza Prior Lucy. At that time the only fabrics used were handwoven Stripes and Shots from India. Kaffe’s love for scrappy quilts inspired him to produce printed fabrics that he wanted to use in his own quilts. Roman Glass, which is still in the line, was the first of his printed fabrics.
For several years, he was the sole artist, hand-painting his own designs until he brought in his friends, Philip Jacobs and Brandon Mably. Philip’s detailed largescale florals derived from historic fabrics and Brandon’s whimsical modern designs were added to Kaffe’s eclectic ones Together they became the Kaffe Fassett Collective.
What sets this line of fabric apart from all others is the purposeful mis-match of colour and pattern and scale and this is apparent in their wonderful shades and designs – here at Lady Sew and Sew we’re Europe’s largest stockist of their fabrics, and we endeavour always to have every available design in stock.
