I came across Pearl & Earl when I was at Top Drawer Spring last month and aside from being enamoured with their nostalgic range of homewares with hand illustrated VW camper van prints, the designer behind the range, Jacqui Pearce was thoroughly charming too.
She literally launched the range in September 2008 and has already gathered quite a following. She used to be a buying director for a serious heavyweight high street clothing store and yet, she’s quickly mad a name for herself with these hand illustrated designs which are printed onto her range in the UK.
Inspired by her childhood memories, she’s not only a VW Camper Van obsessive but takes inspiration from all things British.
I have one of their lovely tea towels (ta very much for the gift) and you should definitely check out Pearl & Earl’s range where prices start from £5 for their bestselling shopper bag (above left), plus other nostalgic goodies that compliment their range at Pearl & Earl’s Nostalgic Store.
