Daphne Stephenson – Artwork Merchandise for Her Own Retail Shops
Client: Daphne Stephenson - an established artist with her own retail shops. Project Type: Artist merchandise Stage: Production
The Challenge
Daphne wanted to offer her retail customers something beyond prints and originals. She needed a merchandise range - including a shirt dress, kaftan, and scarves - produced from her own artwork, with a quality of finish that matched the standard her customers expect in-store.
What We Did
- Design & Development: Created a complete colour match from Daphne’s original artwork and managed fabric procurement and print preparation across multiple product formats.
- Production: Managed the full printing and finishing process for the shirt dress, kaftan, and scarves.
- Manufacturing: Sourced and vetted manufacturing partners who could work with smaller production quantities whilst maintaining quality and ethical standards.
- Delivery: Coordinated packing and logistics to ensure on-time delivery to Daphne’s retail shops.
The Result
Daphne now stocks a beautifully finished merchandise range in her own shops - shirt dresses, kaftans, and scarves that bring her artwork to life in wearable form. Her customers love having a new way to own and share her art, and the collection has added a valuable new revenue stream to her business.
"Bhavna is a wonderful business creative to deal with. She is reliable, trustworthy, fair and spends a lot of time getting the colours, samples and prints right. Love working with her and her little bits of advice and suggestions along the way on how to add weight and quality to our merchandise."
