Welcome to Alili’s

I am passionate about bringing the beauty and tradition of handcrafted linen products that have a minimal impact on our planet to your home. Based in Victoria, Australia, my studio specialises in creating uniquely designed cushion covers, tea towels, table runners. I also create bespoke items using my designs on tablecloths on request.  My products are made with the highest quality linen that has been sourced from eco certified linen producers. Each of my unique pattern designs start from images that have been hand drawn. The final design is then  created by the unique placement of these images and colours.  I create in a home based studio dedicated to quality, sustainability, and the art of hand-printing. Thank you for supporting my hand made sustainable products that will be part of your home for years to come.

Alili’s Story:

My story starts with a love of our Australian natural world built throughout my life travelling and living in many parts of our country. My early career as a signwriter introduced me to the craft of screen printing and the love of the process stayed with me. After over 30 years in a corporate career I made the decision to combine my love of drawing, painting and textiles and start Alili’s in 2024. I wanted to create products that were long lasting and at the same time reduce impact on the environment. This is why I use linen for its natural beauty, durability and that has been produced sustainably. All of my production from printing through to packaging aims to reduce the environmental impact. 

My original Designs

Inspired by Nature’s Canvas

My design process is deeply rooted in the natural world. From the energy of the “Honey Bee” to the beautiful blossoms of the Eucalypt and the rustic charm of “Fallen Leaves Eucalyptus” the patterns are a celebration of the beauty that surrounds us. I draw inspiration from seasonal colours, the beauty of flora and fauna, and the unique textures found in the Australian landscape.

The Process

Handcrafted with Heart and Skill

The creation process is marked by meticulous attention to detail and a deep respect for traditional techniques. We use organic Eco-Tex certified linen, which is prewashed and ironed before the printing process. Each of my designs is hand-drawn a few times for each colour print and then transferred to screens for printing. They are then hand-printed to create a unique pattern. This can be done several times for each design with different coloured inks to obtain a particular design and colourway. This hands-on approach means that each piece is truly unique, bearing the subtle marks of the hands on technique. Slight variations in ink density and texture are not flaws, but rather testaments to the handcrafted nature of my work, adding to the charm and character of each item. After printing, the linen is heat pressed and ironed.

My Commitment to Sustainability

Nurturing Nature and Craft

Sustainability is a core principle that guides every aspect of my work. I am deeply committed to minimizing our environmental footprint and honouring the natural world that inspires us. I choose Eco-Tex linen, a naturally eco-friendly material, for its inherent durability and lower environmental impact compared to other textiles. I also strive to minimize waste in the production process. The printing is mainly produced in my Victorian studio which is off grid and uses recycled water. Our commitment extends to our GOTS certified water based inks, and the packaging is made from recycled materials and is compostable. By choosing Alili’s, you are not only investing in beautiful, handcrafted products, but you are also supporting sustainable practices and contributing to a healthier planet. I believe in creating products that are made with care, for both people and the environment.
