Boho & Bows

The spring line that never really stops

Soft palettes, bows, suns and wildflowers — the designs boutiques move from February onwards and then keep reordering through the autumn because nobody told the customers it was seasonal. A leopard-print bow, a radiant sun, Wild Child in a circle script, a retro van for the people who mean it about getting lost.

This is where the colour work shows

These are the most colour-dependent designs in the library and the reason they are worth printing properly. A dusty pink that turns salmon, or a mustard that turns yellow, ruins the whole look — and that shift is the usual failure of a cheap transfer, because the ink sits thin and the white underbase shows through unevenly.

Ours hold. The dusty pinks stay dusty and the mustard stays mustard, on a natural, a sand or a heather ground. Which ground you choose matters here more than in any other set: the same bow reads as boutique on sand and as clip-art on bright white.

Before you order a dozen

If you are matching these to a specific blank, pick the body first and press one to see it. Colour on a screen is a backlit guess; colour on a garment-dyed tee is the thing your customer will actually hold.
