for our most recent collection we approached three artists whose work we admired and asked them to create designs to visually communicate the personality and ethics of inkydeep. we are thrilled to have worked with and commissioned artwork from such talented individuals.
inkytree by Jennifer Hewitt
“I’ve specialised in surf wear and lifestyle design since graduating in 2009, and I’m the former womenswear designer of the Britain’s oldest surf company, Gul International. When designing clothing, my aim is to make women feel just as beautiful on dry land as they do in the water. Powerful, free, and uninhibited, by combining a mix of comfort and style with environmentally friendly production. Unfortunately it’s a slow process convincing the surf industry to cut down their carbon footprint, and that’s why I’ve loved working with inkydeep, a Cornish surf brand dedicated to creating beautiful organic clothing designed and printed in the UK.”

surfers by Vicki Jones
“studied at University College Falmouth and graduated with a BA (Hons) Illustration in 2009. since graduating I have been combining my love for boardsports with my passion for fashion and art and designing graphics for active sports clothing.
surfing plays a big part in my life. I have surfed for about 6 years and I am a qualified surf coach. I’ve followed the waves to many amazing and beautiful places around the world and it’s hard to imagine my life without it now!”
