Lulu DK Fabrics is named after its founder and head designer, Lulu de Kwiatkowski. She is known for her whimsy and hand-made craftsmanship. Her colorful decorative fabrics are in great demand and are a prime component of the work of many in the fashion and design industry. Her works are influence by her extensive travels and, before launching Lulu DK fabrics, Lulu de Kwiatkowski traveled the world for five years, visiting every continent and corner of the world. These influences are integral to her designs and the unique patterns and drawings that characterize her work. In 1998 this company was launched, focusing working by hand and paying attention to every detail like artisans in France have done for hundreds of years. This has crystallized into what is now a very clear company mission: to merge modern youth and playfulness with the high standards and rigorous demands of traditional craftsmanship. Due to the great attention Lulu's designs have gotten from specialized publications, it would be fair to say that she is well on her way to achieving this mission.
