What We Do
A longtime lover of patterns and textiles, Amy Voloshin founded Printfresh with her husband Leo in 2016 as a way to combine a few of her greatest passions—quality fabrics, bold prints, and sustainable practices. What started as a tiny operation of Amy packing and shipping orders out of her house has since grown into a nationally recognized (and loved) sleepwear and lifestyle brand. Inspired by plants, animals, and home décor, our prints often start as gouache paintings that are translated into digital illustrations and then hand screen printed or embroidered onto 100% organic cotton. With sizes ranging from XS petite to 6X, along with offering women’s, men’s and all-gender silhouettes, we hope anyone can find their perfect fit.
