3. Pendleton Native American Print
The Native American inspired prints are iconic of the Pendleton brand. While most commonly found on their woollen blankets, these prints can now be found on a range of items from dresses to purses. Hip clothing store Opening Ceremony recently collaborated with the brand, bringing the Pendleton print back into the fore of fashion.
4. Liberty Print
This print was first popularised by the Liberty & Co. department store in London. The liberty print is comprised of small, speckled flowers. The liberty print lawn dress made its debut in 1964. The dress was designed by The Ginger Group, which was founded by Mary Quant - who was the quintessential fashion designer of the 1960s. This floral print enjoys massive popularity to this day.
5. Missoni Print
The zig-zag design is the stand out feature of the Missoni print. The Missoni brand is most notable for its colourful knitwear, all of which feature a ‘flame dye’ effect. This effect is achieved by partly immersing the yarn in the dye to leave a white mark or allow the colour of the yarn to show through. The print was first created in the 1940s and gained popularity during the 1960s and 1970s.

7. Louis Vuitton Monogram
The Louis Vuitton monogram canvas is synonymous with the luxury brand. The print canvas is a signature feature of the brand’s range of leather goods. While the print was initially designed to deter counterfeits, it has largely been recorded that Louis Vuitton has become one of the most counterfeited brands on the market. Despite this, the brand has still managed to maintain luxury status.
