Pat Etheridge | The Visionary Colourist Who Shaped Sanderson’s Iconic Style
A Defining Hand in Sanderson’s Signature Style
Pat Etheridge was a modernising force during a new wave of women shaping Sanderson’s artistic vision in the 50s and 60s. A talented colourist, her enduring designs remain among Sanderson’s most beloved. From the classic blooms of Stapleton Park (recently spotted on the Moschino Fall/Winter 25 runway in Milan) to the clustered rhododendrons and bleeding hearts of Olivia, Pat’s handwriting has become a signature aesthetic in Sanderson’s style.
STAPLETON PARK
Designed by Pat Etheridge and introduced in 1990 as part of the Sanderson Carlysle Collection, Stapleton Park is a quintessentially English floral design. Featuring lush bouquets of roses, cornflowers, foxgloves, and hydrangeas intertwined with trailing stems and foliage, this large-scale print exudes timeless elegance.
Olivia
Provisionally titled The Drawing Room this pretty design with its clusters of wild roses, rhododendron flowers and bleeding hearts was designed by Pat Etheridge.
KING PROTEA
