I completed my Diploma of Interior Design & Decoration in 2011, and as part of my End of Year Exhibition I Designed a number of patterns which I had digitally printed on to fabric and sewn into cushions. I was so happy with the way the cushions turned out and I had so many people comment on how much they liked them that I decided to have a go selling them on Etsy. And so Charlee Le More was born...
The name Charlee Le More is an anagram of my name, Rochelle Maree, and I think it perfectly reflects the quirky and bold yet feminine style that Charlee Le More presents.
My concept behind the first range of cushions was to try and create a range of cushions that you can mix and match in unlimited combinations. Whether you like a big bold design in block colour like the 'Gem' design or if you prefer a smaller more intricate and colourful design you may like "Haze" or 'Lace' or for somewhere in between try 'Spirit'.
As for the colours, I created 6 colourways-
Urban;
Inspired by fashions colour blocking trend (and 2011) in Tan, Navy and Red with dashes of Emerald Green and Yellow.
Preppy;
Inspired by shool blazers and faded yellow school shirts in Navy, Lemon and Emerald Green with dashes of Red and Tan.
Summer;
Inspired by bright summer colours of coastal sunsets in Pink, Orange and Yellow with dashes of Pale Aqua and Black for contrast.
Industrial;
Inspired by industrial machinery, concrete and street signs in Yellow, Charcoal and Black with dashes of light and mid grey.
Glam;
Inspired by luxurious gem-like colours and vintage leather in Soft Tan, Navy and Teal with dashes of Purple and deep brown.
Driftwood;
Inspired by faded driftwood and beach scenes in Various shades of brown from faded driftwood to deep brown, combined with pale Aqua and a dash of Teal.
With all of the Charlee Le More designs available in any colour, there is sure to be something for everyone!
