CARLA BENTELE

Carla is a fashion and textile designer with a lifelong passion for creativity and self-expression. After graduating with a First from Liverpool, she spent 13 years working in kidswear design, shaping collections from concept to completion. Guided by a “more is more” mindset, Carla embraces her magpie mentality, collecting vintage pieces, colourful homeware, and unique finds. A true colour enthusiast, she draws inspiration from travel, nature, and creative practices like yoga, astrology and poetry. Outside of illustrating, Carla loves discovering new places, listening to true crime podcasts and making the most of life’s simple moments with her family.
