The Vale London was founded in 2017 by Melinda Marquardt. After working in sales for an American textile company for seven years, she decided to start her own business. Partnering her education in fine art with her many years of sales experience, Melinda created the Vale London to provide exquisite textiles and wallpapers to the luxury interiors market.

Each pattern starts out as an original piece of art work; illustrated by hand and produced by the finest mills. Each metre of fabric or roll of wallpaper is a piece of art for the home. Texture, colour and design work symbiotically to create each unique piece. Melinda creates timeless designs that will adorn windows and walls for many years.

Quality design is about more than beautiful possessions—it’s about those emotional connections everyone makes with the pieces they choose for their home. The Vale designs textiles and wallpapers that encourage an authentic connection between the artist and the client, for exclusive use in the finest homes.
