Choose your focal point
A bold stripe, a floral outline and a constellation motif each tell a different visual story. Start with the one that best fits the feeling of your collection.
Balance contrast and detail
Think about how a design reads from across a room as well as close up. Large shapes can provide a clear focal point, while smaller details invite a second look.
Keep the whole bag in view
The pattern, handle and silhouette work together. Compare references as complete objects rather than focusing only on a flat artwork file.
Leave space for the sample
Treat digital references as a starting point. Review the way the motif, colour and knitted texture appear together in the physical sample.
