Animals are probably among the most widely used subjects in children’s clothing and textiles. Teddy bears and bunnies are the most common, but they are in excellent company: from familiar pets to wild creatures, from insects to birds, the animal world offers a rich variety of shapes, colours, textures and personalities to explore through print design.

A single animal can be interpreted in countless ways, depending on the style of the collection: realistically illustrated, turned into a charming character, or simplified into a graphic motif. It can be represented as a single character or placed in an environment, on its own or together with other animals. Alternatively, only a small detail can be featured, such as the texture of fur or animal footprints.

Whether funny, curious, exotic or simply adorable, animals are an excellent source of inspiration for prints designed for children’s clothing and textiles.

Here at Fatamadrina, you’ll find plenty of animal-themed designs to purchase for your new collection: placement prints, seamless patterns, whole themes.
