Behind The Print: Albert

The Back Story

The Albert print, originally created by renowned designer Albert Hadley, was one of the first prints Sister Parish Design put into production from the Parish Hadley archives. This iconic pattern, which mimics the intricacies of a quilt pattern, pays homage to Sister Parish and the firm's love for American craftsmanship. Today, we continue to treasure the "work of the hand" and have always been drawn to the Albert's pattern timeless design - it's not fussy or flowery yet has an artist-like quality to it, appearing hand-stenciled.

A Design For Everyone

What makes the Albert print particularly special is it's ability to resonate with a diverse range of aesthetics. Interestingly, both Sister Parish and Albert Hadley had a mutual appreciation for the print, which is noteworthy given their somtimes differing design philosophies. We love this old photo of Albert and Sister catching up with the pattern behind them.

The Albert print is so much more than just a fabric or a wallpaper; it is a reflection of a rich history, collaborative spirit, and a commitment to quality that transcends time. Whether you're imagining it for your favorite living room chairs or a wallpaper for your powder bath, the Albert print remains a classic that continues to inspire creativity and appreciation for American design.
