This design holds a special place for me because it combines intricate detail with storytelling, bringing the beauty of the Alps to life. I loved diving into the work of the traditional Scherenschnitte masters and finding a new way to interpret their delicate scissor-cut techniques into something that feels true to their craft.

The technique also comes with a nostalgic note, and reminds me of Christmasses from my childhood - creating paper snowflake cutouts to decorate the house over the festive period.

Throughout our AW24 Die Alpen Collection, you’ll find the Fabelei print featured in both bold and subtle ways. It’s woven into our seasonal labels, adds charm to a custom-designed tape and broderie anglaise collar, and takes centre stage on our Boxy and Wide Leg Set.

For this particular set, we embraced a placement print design to maintain the artwork's symmetry—a process that required careful planning to ensure the print aligns perfectly on each piece.

Unlike our usual all-over prints, this technique requires the design to be tailored precisely to the garment’s dimensions, with the fabric cut in just the right position. Here’s a sneak peek at some of the adorable mini mock-ups we created to get the positioning just right.
