presenting… 

…A tipple with Gertrude, the limited edition fabric collection by Calista Anderson-Leitch.

The collection is inspired by the days of old, when high tea and parlour games were common social activities.  The designs show admiration of the cheekier senior citizens in our community; the nanna’s who know how to have a good time and the oldies who like a good splash. 

100% designed and printed by Calista, the owner and maker of Tasmanian accessories label giggling gertie, this collection is her proudest achievement to date.

The printing process involves silk screens, water based inks and lots of patience!

All fabric designs are available in the giggling gertie range of purse styles!
