THE STORY

Behind the work.

À la Mère is the surface-design studio of Meredith West Owens, a North Carolina native whose mark-making carries the ease of her coastal hometown, Wilmington. Working in custom illustration across stationery, textiles and wallpaper, she designs closely with each client to translate a feeling into fully bespoke pattern — relaxed, personal, and unmistakably À la Mère.

For the Sister & Sewn Founding Collection, Meredith's original illustrations are translated into textiles for the American design trade, preserving the warmth and individuality of her hand.
