We are Atefeh and Niloofar and we are two Iranian artists, printmakers and pattern lovers based in Manchester. We were introduced by a mutual friend in August 2021 and had no idea we would go on to start a business together! We became friends initially and over time we realised how much we have in common – now we are both good friends and business partners.

We are the founders of Two Leaves Studio. Everything we create at Two Leaves is 100% handmade – we even make the stamps we use to print our designs onto fabric. We then use these hand-printed fabrics to dream up and sew together gorgeous bespoke items such as cushions, wall art and bags.
