Kit Kemp x GP & J Baker: Prints and Embroideries

Day to Day

Rooted in storytelling and rich in detail, our new Prints and Embroideries II collection with GP & J Baker celebrates the art of decorative textiles...

There is something wonderfully uplifting about bringing pattern, colour and craftsmanship together. Our new Prints and Embroideries II collection with GP & J Baker celebrates all three, a joyful mix of characterful designs inspired by favourite motifs, layered textures and a love of storytelling through textiles. Each fabric has its own personality, designed to add warmth, charm and a touch of the unexpected to an interior. In this blog, we are delighted to share a closer look at the individual prints and embroideries that make up the collection.

Noah’s Ark

Noah’s Ark was born from a chance discovery on our travels. Full of animals and colour, it is playful in the very best sense and feels unmistakably us. We have kept the original stitches visible between the animals, honouring the fabric’s heritage while adding a sense of depth and handmade character that we love.

Marigold

We have reimagined the classic damask print as a modern chintz, blending timeless elegance with a fresh, contemporary edge. The intricate pattern comes to life in vibrant new colourways, bringing back the charm of chintz and making a bold statement in any space. At Charlotte Street Hotel, in the drawing room, we have upholstered the walls in the Marigold colourway. You can read all about this room here.

Forest Flower

Forest Flower celebrates the timeless art of hand blocking, where each colour is carefully layered to create depth and character. Every impression reflects generations of heritage and craftsmanship passed down through skilled artisans. The subtle variations and textures capture the beauty of the handmade, honouring a tradition that continues to thrive over time.

Tudor Rose

Tudor Rose is an archival fabric that beautifully captures the romantic spirit of its time through exquisite artistry. Featuring delicately painted birds whose vibrant tail feathers burst with dynamic colour, the design recalls the craftsmanship of journeymen whose skilled hands once adorned the grand walls of country homes with scenes of nature and grace. Its intricate detailing and painterly richness evoke the opulence and sentimentality of the era.

Cloudline

This printed stripe on a softly stone-washed texture reveals a subtle hand-stitched effect reminiscent of tie-dyed or denim stonewashing techniques. The design balances classic and modern appeal, feeling both familiar and fresh. It is classic enough to anchor a room, yet contemporary enough to lift it.

We love to line our curtains in Cloudline and wrap the fabric around onto the leading edge.

Forget-Me-Not

Forget-Me-Not draws inspiration from the quiet elegance of Nordic design, where stylised flowers and geometric motifs intertwine. Intricate yet simple, the design leaves a soft impression that lingers, like a cherished memory woven into fabric.

We are thrilled to be using Forget-Me-Not in Room 003 at Haymarket Hotel. Stay tuned to the blog for a first look at how the space comes together.

Crossroads

The intersecting strokes of this pattern flow with a sense of movement and spontaneity, creating a design that feels both structured and fluid. An expressive hand painted print of inky, watercolour lines forming an organic grid, Crossroads is a visual representation of paths meeting and diverging. Printed on a fresh, crisp white background, this smaller scale pattern brings a sharp, contemporary punch to any scheme.

Compass

Compass takes a fresh direction on the classic fusion of geometric and stripe design. An essential element in any interior scheme, this pattern reimagines tradition by merging structured geometry with linear rhythm. Presented in a range of unusual colourways, it is designed to make a lasting impression.

Roar Stitch

For Roar Stitch, we created a cross stitch fabric featuring bold lion motifs alongside florals and birds. Fierce meets delicate in every stitch. Bold, beautiful and just a little bit roarsome, it is perfect for adding a touch of charm and character to any room.

Flower Pot

Flower Pot is a richly embroidered design featuring an intricate arrangement of blooming flowers and geometric motifs that cascade gracefully in a vertical stripe. Each element is carefully stitched to create depth and dimension, blending organic floral forms with the rhythm of structured patterns.

Together, these designs show how print and embroidery can be layered to create interiors with clarity, character and ease. They are made to be used, mixed, paired and adapted, bringing a confident sense of pattern and craftsmanship into everyday spaces.
