We are Laura Bagnera and Carolina Palella,
two surface designers and illustrators from southern Italy, with an already consolidated experience in the textile industry behind us.
In 2022 we founded Bluma Textile Studio. We share ideas, passion, creativity and constant curiosity for the world of illustration, fashion, art, travel and color. Each of us has her own style, hand and color taste. That is why our collections are multifaceted and never repetitive!
Our goal is to take our Mediterranean, fresh and unique taste around the world!

Carolina Palella

Hi! I am Carolina Palella, a textile designer and illustrator freelancer from Puglia. I create by hand and with digital techniques drawings designed for textile, clothing and interior design. After an artistic education I worked for years as a fashion designer but I soon decided to deepen my passion for illustration applied to textiles. My favorite subjects come from Nature. The animal and plant world and the female figure are my major sources of inspiration along with the work of my favorite designer, Emile-Allain Séguy. Lately, acrylic combined with pastels and digital illustration are the techniques I use the most, in my own personal style. I do not like flat, entirely digital graphics. The non-conventional use of color and chromatic daring are among my hallmarks.

Laura Bagnera

Hi! I’m Laura Bagnera and I work in illustration and textile design. I was born in Palermo where I studied product design and then I moved to Milan. I’ve always loved drawing, a passion that later led me to venture into the world of textile design, experimenting with various tools on fabrics. In the past years I have worked for some textile companies in Italy and now I am pursuing my research on describing a story through fabrics. My pattern driven work reflects my love for the illustration world. To create a design, I always start with a hand-drawn drawing with markers, water colors, eco-line, pencils, papercut, collage and then rework it digitally. My greatest wish is to see different products with my prints on them!
