Sas and Yosh Textile

The world of happy confusion

A joyful textile collection from UK-based artists duo, Sarah Bellisario and Yoshie Allan is here!
Its theme is ‘The world of happy confusion’.

“In a magical garden, under a mysterious moon night, the dwarves, insects and animals are having their festival. A circus, dancing with beautiful wings, a wonderful tea party and endless chatter.
Humans have never known such a world of happy confusion!
Created by Sas and Yosh with their unique quirky collaborative illustration and colouring.”(Sas ans Yosh)
