New York City and Africa Type Maps

After a huge number of requests we are delighted to announce the launch of our New York City and Africa Type Maps. We have printed them in sheer slate and duck egg blue and as our other Type Maps, they measure 50 x 70 cm so fit nicely in standard frames. We are donating 50% of this years profits from the Africa Map to the Somalian relief fund.

1 yesterday!

Happy birthday to us, happy birthday to… Received a text today telling me that it is a year since we launched Bold & Noble. Blimey, it feels like about 10 years – in a good, well established way! Any excuse for a tipple, I’m quite into Harveys Bristol Cream at the minute, I know it is a grannies drink but I used to drink it with my Nana and Grandad at Christmas and it makes me feel all nostalgic… Raise a glass to Mont and Renée, I know they’d be proud of our design venture.

Period Living October 2009

Eek, a photograph, I must grow up a bit and enjoy having my picture taken, I’m not alone there though. A while ago I was asked to do an interview for Period Living magazine in their ‘Going Green’ feature and today I got to see it hot off the press. Whilst I’m immaturely uncomfortable with seeing my face on the page, I am delighted that we’ve been considered worthy of a mention – thank you Rebecca!

Victoria & Albert Museum

I flipping love this place and it seems to consistently find ways to weave in and out of my life. I used to come here as a wide eyed student on day trips before I moved to Newcastle, when I was employed and living in London my wonderful boss (Lynda) would send me on inspiration afternoons here (what a job!) and it was in the cafe here that the fluffy ideas about starting Bold & Noble were cemented. And now, cue drum roll, we’ve actually got something tangible under their roof, as of next week the V&A shop will be stocking Bold & Noble prints.

This is big stuff for little people like us!

The new collection

It is a big day. After three months of late nights, early mornings and inky aprons, the new collection is ready. We’d love to hear from you if you have any comments, maybe ‘sheer slate’ should be called ‘blue slate’, perhaps that big flower should be a bit smaller or maybe you don’t care. Either way, we hope you like the new designs, here goes…
