Inside the mill is a team of skilled weavers, seamstresses, and designers. Here, we meet textile designer for Mungo, Lenore Schroeder. “The brand is very distinctive in the sense of its quality, thickness, fabric, and the yarns we use. Most of our product consists of natural fibres which are cotton and linen”. It’s Lenore’s job to create the iconic designs of Mungo, and as she explains, the process always starts with colour.
“I get my inspiration from nature, magazines, or from anything that’s happening in the world. As soon as I select the colours, I go back to the design and make a decision of what product I want to create”, explains Lenore. The priority for Mungo Designs is to create textiles and fabrics that will stand the test of time.
