Profile
Melbourne designer Nicola Cerini established Nicola Cerini Australia in 1995 to produce highly individual textiles for furnishing fabrics and homewares. Since that time Nicola has continued to expand her popular and diverse product range and to exhibit unique work.
In 1999 Nicola introduced the original 'Plasto' handbag collection combining printed fabric, plastic, PVC, and seatbelt webbing to produce a highly versatile range with a strong design focus. Along with a seasonal clothing collection reflecting Nicola's distinctive style, the newest addition to the range combines coated fabric prints trimmed with soft leather resulting in stylish and lightweight 'Fandango' bags.
Characteristic of Nicola's work is an eclectic mix of hand worked textile designs, screen printed on a myriad of coloured, striped and textured cloths. Continually inspired by everyday objects, plants, animals and research into native flora; Nicola's on-going passion for travel and pattern results in meticulously designed limited edition prints each season.
Nicola Cerini Australia is pleased to be actively involved with the Tree Project, a volunteer organisation dedicated to the re-vegetation of the Victorian countryside. A donation is made to the Tree Project for every bag sold bearing native flora.
