Dyeing for Art

Bromelli is a label that takes the notion of handmade to it’s ultimate.

Bromelli is an exclusive design label created and run by artist Lucy Bromell. Lucy’s delight in printing on textiles is emphasized in her designs. Mainly working with silk and wool, Lucy experiments with ‘special styles’ and challenging printing techniques. These techniques usually physically or chemically change the structure of the cloth she is working with, giving it a touch of the Bromelli style.

Bromelli has been running for six years and has grown from it’s purely arts based beginnings to encompass a wide range of commercial aspects. These include earning her “Craft Mark” accreditation, producing corporate, State and Federal government gift works, making one off commissions, print runs for designers and interior designers, theatre costume work and creating glorious fashion outfits in conjunction with fellow Australian designer, Sarah Pondevie.

Bromelli’s range of scarves, wraps, throws and jackets are sold in a select number of art galleries and outlets throughout Australia. These creations include hand woven and printed felted wool scarves and throws, silk viscose devore scarves and wraps, silk organza printed and pieced fabric and discharged shot chiffon.
