It’s not everyone, and hardly anyone come to think of it, who can say that Kylie has worn a print that you have designed. But Kerri can! Back when she worked on the H&M Kylie Minogue collaboration it was Kerri who had designed all the prints for the collection that Kylie, along with her sea of dancers were wearing.
Kerri, a print designer in the fashion industry for over 20 years, an 80’s girl at heart, and a Mama to two little people sees life through images, print, pattern, and colour. Back in 2018 (and 14 weeks pregnant), Kerri launched Francis + Louise. Based in her home studio in East London Kerri creates accessories and home wears with her original hand-painted artwork. At the weekends Kerri takes her beautiful pieces to showcase at various maker’s markets around London Town and we couldn’t not mention that she is also an OG in the Book Of Love directory and at The Un-Wedding Show!

Matching your wedding colours.
Kerri loves to collaborate and create bespoke pieces and will guide you throughout the process from a video call chat and creating your mood board to the digital artwork sign off.

Choosing a completely original design.
With her impeccable attention to detail, Kerri will hand paint your wedding print. Your print could include the colours you are having in your bouquet, the pattern of the lace in your dress or a favourite flower of someone who is unable to be with you. The original artwork can then be printed onto anything in the range.
