Yardage has been sold through sales reps, stores and showrooms nationally. The product line expanded to include small furniture, personal accessories and house wares when I began selling at trade shows.
As much of the design process as possible is done by hand, with a brush and India ink. For some patterns, applying the patterns to the fabric involves hand painting the yardage. Other patterns are hand screen printed, creating a more graphic appeal. When Radica first began, all the yardage was printed in my Baltimore studio. Eventually I outgrew the ability to keep up with the demand and partnered with a New England company who has over 75 years experience screen printing on textiles.
