Molly Mahon Fabric

Molly Mahon Fabric by the Yard

Molly Mahon is a Sussex-based British artist whose fabric collection for Schumacher has become one of the most celebrated and recognisable hand-crafted designer textile lines available in the American luxury market. From her studio in the English countryside, Mahon designs textiles and wallpapers inspired by the rich traditions of British decorating, her travels to India, and things she notices in daily life — all informed by the ancient craft of hand-block printing that she has made her signature. At The WorkRoom, we carry the complete Molly Mahon fabric collection as an authorised Schumacher dealer, with samples available before committing to a full order.

The Molly Mahon Aesthetic

Molly Mahon's design vocabulary is joyful, direct, and resolutely hand-crafted. Her block print originals are applied to fabrics and wallpapers in a way that preserves the expressiveness of the original stamp — slight variations in pressure, the characteristic ink bleed at pattern edges, the organic imprecision that machine printing cannot replicate. The patterns themselves draw from a wide range of sources: romping elephants, wild strawberries, forest trees, Indian miniature painting traditions, Renaissance art. The result is a collection that feels genuinely British in its love of nature and pattern, genuinely artisanal in its construction, and genuinely joyful in a way that more restrained or formally composed collections rarely achieve.

Key Designs

Forest is one of Mahon's most beloved fabric designs — a joyful, stylised tree motif inspired by the forest surrounding her English cottage, available in Grass Green and Pink on 100% linen. Mughal Hand Block Print was inspired by Indian miniature paintings — a romantic floral with simple, stylised blossoms block printed by hand in India on a 100% linen ground, in the Peach/Sap Green colourway. Both designs exemplify Mahon's ability to take a specific personal inspiration — a walk in the woods, a visit to a museum — and translate it into a fabric that carries that original experience into a home.

Molly Mahon Fabric for Upholstery and Drapery

The Molly Mahon fabric collection is primarily printed on 100% linen grounds, making it suitable for drapery, cushions, and lighter upholstery applications such as accent chairs, headboards, and dining chairs. The linen ground gives the block-printed designs a natural texture that amplifies the hand-crafted character of the printing. As with all hand-block-printed fabrics, slight variations between yards are inherent to the process and contribute to rather than detract from the finished quality.
