Introducing our latest member, Molly Mahon

Founded in 2016, Molly Mahon is a British interiors brand celebrating the ancient craft of hand block printing through colourful fabrics, wallpapers and homewares. It's also an alumnus of our Brands of Tomorrow mentorship programme. Founded by British printmaker and designer Molly Mahon, the brand works with master artisans in India to create distinctive designs rooted in the beauty of the handmade.

Learn a little more about our latest member in our interview with Molly Mahon, founder of the British interiors brand.

Walpole: Tell us about the history of your brand… 

Molly Mahon: The studio was born from a passion for the ancient craft of hand block printing, first discovered in the UK and later developed through close partnerships with master artisans in India. What began as a small creative venture has grown into an internationally recognised interiors brand with a loyal global following and a flourishing presence in the United States. 

Over the past decade, Molly Mahon has become known for bringing a fresh perspective to traditional craftsmanship, creating fabrics, wallpapers and homewares that celebrate colour, pattern and the enduring beauty of the handmade. Despite its international success, the studio has never lost sight of its origins. Every collection is created with the same thoughtful approach, personal involvement and unwavering attention to detail that have defined the business from the very beginning. 

What is your brand best known for? 

Molly Mahon is known for its hand block printed fabrics, wallpapers and homeware, each piece carrying the small, beautiful imperfections that only come from the human hand. We describe the brand itself as "anti-beige": helping people build homes with personality and soul, not ones that follow a trend. 

What has been a significant achievement in your company's timeline? 

Being named a Brand of Tomorrow was a huge milestone, a real moment of recognition for a brand that started so humbly. Alongside that, we're proud of the collaborations we've built along the way, working with names like Estée Lauder, Firmdale Hotels, Boden, Secret Linen, Meri Meri and Christie's, each one a chance to bring block print craftsmanship to new audiences. 

Why do you love the brand? 

Every single piece has a story and a pair of hands behind it. Molly Mahon customers aren't just buying a print; they're buying into a slower, more thoughtful way of making and bringing a bit of that soul into their own homes. 

Why does your brand represent the very best in British luxury? 

We believe that true luxury isn't about polish: it's about provenance, skill and story. Designs are conceived in a Sussex studio and made by hand using techniques and craftsmanship passed down through generations of block printers. The brand is a proud supporter of craft, and everything it makes reflects: real skill, real time and real care. These are the things that mass production simply can't replicate. 

What attracted you to becoming a Walpole member? 

Walpole represents a community of British brands who share Molly Mahon's belief in quality, craftsmanship and doing things properly. Being part of that world of excellence, alongside brands the team deeply admires, felt like a natural next step. 

If you could collaborate with another Walpole member, which one would you choose?

I would love for the brand to collaborate with Charbonnel et Walker. There's something wonderfully fitting about the pairing: imagining a collection of chocolate boxes dressed in Molly Mahon's hand block prints, with the chocolatier's beautifully shaped chocolates echoing the tactile, sculptural quality of the wooden printing blocks themselves. Two crafts built on precision, artistry and a love of the handmade, coming together in one indulgent, colourful collaboration. 

Tell us about an exciting development or new launch for your brand in the coming months? 

This September marks a huge moment for Molly Mahon: a decade in print. The brand is celebrating ten years with the launch of a beautiful new collection, Wanderlust, arriving on the 21st September. It reimagines four much-loved designs in fresh new colourways, alongside two brand-new prints, all inspired by the travels and places that have shaped the brand's story so far.
