Hellen van Berkel has worked as a textile designer in the Netherlands since graduating from the well-known Design Academy Eindhoven in 1989. Her work in various environments has contributed to her vast, wide-ranging experience.
It was her love for textiles that inspired her to enhance the diversity of materials, colors, and pattern in her repertoire, and in 2013 she founded her own personal label, Heartmade Prints by Hellen van Berkel. This collection, consisting mainly of scarves, is recognizable for its own authentic, beautifully layered features. Heartmade Prints is now carried by over 80 selected stores in Europe, Asia, Australia, and the USA.

Vertel iets over het atelier in je tuin, hoe de dieren eromheen lopen en hoe je tot de bouw ervan kwam. Maak het een beetje persoonlijk.

Heartmade Prints
The succes of the Heartmade Prints collection lies in how it came to being.
Without being bound by fashion trends or commercial restrictions, Hellen van Berkel throws herself into the making of limited editions of her scarves heart first, and takes joy and pride in her daring designs. The scarves are almost artworks on their own right, and intended to make their owner feel precious in their embrace. Hellen van Berkel combines various techniques, including very traditional ones
such as handmade embroidery. This is a unique craft that has its source in India, where these skills are passed down through generations. But Hellen dares to use contrasting crafts within a single product, resulting in exciting combinations of handblok printing, hand rolled hems, hand embroidery or silkscreen, with contemporary digital techniques such as machine hems, digital printing and computerized machine embroidery. These exciting combinations inspire curiosity and amazement.
