Frequently Asked Questions
What is a surface pattern design?
A surface pattern design is a repeatable artwork that can be applied to fabric, packaging, wallpaper, stationery, homewares, and more. At Velour Designs, we create seamless coastal-inspired prints that are ready for fashion brands, kidswear, swimwear, lifestyle products, and interiors.
How do I purchase a pattern from your library?
Simply browse our print library, select the design you love, and purchase directly through our website. Once purchased, you’ll receive the digital seamless file in high resolution, ready for use in your products. Each design is sold as a non-exclusive license, however there is only 5 purchases per pattern, and if you would like an exclusive custom pattern, please contact me for more details.
Can you create a custom surface pattern design for my brand?
Yes. We offer custom single patterns and full collections tailored to your brand’s story, colour palette, and target market. Whether you need one hero print or a 10-piece cohesive collection, we’ll work with you to create something uniquely yours.
How much does a custom pattern cost?
Custom surface pattern designs start at $490 AUD for a single non-exclusive print. Full collections and licensing packages are quoted individually depending on the scale and usage. Please contact us for a tailored proposal.
What file formats do you provide?
All designs are supplied as high-resolution, seamless repeat files. Formats include JPEG, PNG, and layered Adobe Photoshop files (PSD) or Illustrator files (AI), depending on the artwork style.
What types of brands use your patterns?
Our clients include kidswear labels, women’s and men’s fashion brands, swimwear designers, lifestyle businesses, and homewares companies. We specialise in coastal minimalism with a playful edge, making our prints versatile for both fashion and interiors.
Can I see your patterns on mockups before purchasing?
Yes. Our library shows each design mocked up on garments, swimwear, and homeware products so you can easily visualise how the print will look in real life.
Do you ship physical products?
No. All of our designs are digital downloads, which means you receive them instantly after purchase. This allows you to get creating with your manufacturer right away.
How can I stay updated on new print releases?
Sign up for our newsletter to be the first to know when new collections drop. You’ll also get exclusive insights into colour trends, print forecasts, and special offers.
Can I use surface pattern designs for my small business?
Yes! Surface pattern designs are perfect for small businesses looking to create unique fabrics, packaging, or branded products. Buying an exclusive pattern means your design will not be resold, giving your brand a distinctive look in the market.
What is the difference between seamless patterns and regular prints?
A seamless pattern is created so the artwork repeats without any visible edges or breaks. This makes it ideal for printing on fabric, wallpaper, or any product that requires continuous coverage. Regular prints, by contrast, don’t tile perfectly and may leave gaps or visible edges.
Why should I buy exclusive surface pattern designs instead of stock patterns?
Exclusive designs protect your brand identity. Stock patterns are often sold to many many many people, which means your competitors could end up using the same print. At Velour Designs, every purchase is semi to completely exclusive — once you buy a pattern, it’s yours (either for your category i.e fashion, or yours across all categories for exclusive)
What are the best patterns for kidswear brands?
Playful, and story-driven designs tend to perform best for children’s clothing brands. Popular motifs include whimsical florals, sea creatures, and nature-inspired illustrations. Our library is curated with this in mind, offering both fun and sophisticated options for kidswear.
Can I order a surface pattern in my own colour palette?
Yes. We offer colour customisation on request. If you find a design in our library that you love but want it in your brand colours, we can adapt it for you for an additional fee.
Do I need to be a designer to use your patterns?
Not at all. Our files are production-ready, meaning you can hand them straight to your printer or manufacturer. Many of our clients are business owners, brand founders, or product creators who don’t design themselves.
Can I sell products made with Velour Designs patterns?
Yes, absolutely. Once you’ve purchased an exclusive design, you’re licensed to apply it to your products — from clothing to stationery to home décor. The only restriction is that you cannot resell or redistribute the digital pattern file itself.
