Winner of #LaunchWithSTF 2021
Designer April Hay expresses her love of geology through printed textiles inspired by her surroundings. Photographing minerals and geological sites around Scotland, she looks to encourage others to get out and appreciate the uniqueness of our landscape too.
Her bold and distinctive designs draw inspiration from her photography of stones, minerals and geological features around Scotland. Married with a strong use of colour, texture and her unique creative voice.
With an emphasis on supporting local businesses and a strong environmental ethos - April sews her unique designs into a range of luxury accessories for fashion and home from her studio in Glasgow. Bamboo neckwarmers and velvet infinity scarves are strong bestsellers for Agate & Ayre. Along with her core product range, April loves working on commissions and exclusive products and has designed collections for Fruitmarket and Aberdeen Art Gallery.
STF Spring 2025 will see April launching three new designs for wholesale, BASALT, LABRADORITE and CAIRNGORM.
