Barbeline

Barbeline was founded in 2015 by University of the Arts London Pattern Design alumni and aesthete, Barbeline Lusandu, in her studio in East London. Barbeline initially began her design career in 2012, producing quirky patterned childrenswear, “I have always had a passion for interiors, but when I first started designing the Scandi vibe of clean lines and minimalism was still very much the trend, so I decided to specialise in childrenswear, where fun is at the forefront.
