Sophie Tatlow is a textile designer, but as Director of Utopia Goods, she extends what textile design can be, and is taking Australian narratives international. For more than two decades she has collaborated with Bruce Slorach in the multidisciplinary studio Deuce Design – under which Utopia Goods has been celebrating textile design for 12 years.
Our fabrics are dried outdoors, so even the weather dictates our timelines. We’re quick to adapt. You also need a deep appreciation of colour, texture and the ability to see beyond ‘trends’ and forecast ‘something both unique and classic’.
