Publisher Textiles

With a client list including cutting edge Australian fashion labels like Lee Mathews, Zimmermann, Ksubi, Bird Textiles, Therese Rawsthorn and Rittenhouse, Sydney textile company Publisher is doing more than just surviving in the unpredictable world of the fashion industry. In an environment where much print and textile development has fallen victim to the pressure of offshore supply lines, Publisher is a strong Australian brand able to offer local, handmade, high-quality, competitive designs. The business began printing original fabrics and garments from a rented corner in a friend’s factory and selling them at Sydney market stalls on weekends. From there, Publisher quickly developed a following with commissions from Sydney designers Akira Isagowa and Nicola Finetti. Today, clients can select from a range of distinctive Publisher designs and textile products, commission customised artwork or provide their own to be created into signature fabrics or wall coverings.
