FAQs
Where are you based?
Catherine Jane Designs is based in Kent, England.
How are Catherine Jane Designs patterns and images created?
For patterned goods, Catherine Jane draws all imagery by hand. Drawings are then cleaned up before being digitally painted and designed into the patterns you see on our final products.
For artwork, all imagery is drawn by Catherine, preferably from life studies. Some original artwork is for sale. High quality scans are taken of the original drawings, cleaned up and adjusted to ensure when prints and limited editions are made, that they are as close to the original as possible.
Where are your products made?
We are proud to say all products are responsibly manufactured here in Great Britain, as close to our studio as possible.
Do you take sustainability into consideration?
Absolutely! Sustainability is at the forefront of our minds and we have a strong eco-friendly ethos.
All cards and wrapping papers are FSC Certified (made with materials that support responsible forestry), uncoated and 100% recyclable. Lots are even made from recycled materials originally too.
Our textiles are made using reactive inks which gives better rub and wash fastness and conforms to Oeko-tex standard 100 (meaning they contain no harmful chemicals). All of our textiles are also printed on ORGANIC Cotton (which means the Cotton has been produced without the use of pesticides or other harmful chemicals). The Organic Cotton is unscoured, untreated and naturally formed which gives a beautiful natural fleck on the base of all of our textiles. As the fabric is untreated, there can be a variation in colour from batch to batch.
Our placemats and coasters are made using sustainably sourced, FSC certified Eucalyptus and cork and their durable fine matt Melamine surface provides heat resistance up to 145°C (293°F). This means they are scratch/stain resistant and have been made to last for years.
Our prints are Giclée fine art prints. These are archival quality and lightfast. Printed onto Premium Etching Cotton 320gsm Cream White, light etching press 100% Cotton. These prints are made to last a lifetime.
All of our goods are manufactured here in Great Britain to minimise our carbon footprint and to support small, local businesses.
The packaging we use is all 100% recyclable or compostable and has all been sourced from Great Britain.
