Eragh Mihalakis Studio is a Dublin, Ireland-based print design studio led by Eragh Mihalakis, a print and swimwear designer who trained at NCAD (Bachelor of Design, Textile Design, 2010). Described as an illustration-led print studio, it creates original surface prints for sleepwear, swim, and resort brands, building collections that move from hero prints through supporting coordinates. Each range begins with a moodboard-led research phase before designs are developed through hand painting, illustration, and digital finishing.
The eight selected pattern images demonstrate range across the studio's stated markets: a pastel ditsy floral; a celestial/bohemian print (moons, stars, eyes in gold on black); tonal tropical botanicals in both dark and pale colourways; a resort/travel conversational print combining palm trees, globes, and postcard script ("Wish You Were Here," "Let's Go"); a Miami Beach-themed postage-stamp conversational print; a bold colour-blocked maximalist floral; and a children's alphabet illustration ("J is for Jellyfish"), suggesting the studio's reach extends to kids' product as well as swim and sleepwear.
The portfolio shows a deliberately wide stylistic range: soft, ditsy pastel florals; a celestial motif of moons, stars, and eyes rendered in metallic gold on black; tonal tropical botanicals (monstera and palm leaves) in both dark jewel tones and pale blue; and bold, colour-blocked maximalist florals. This spans the studio's own description of its range as "refined feminine," "wild maximalist," and "effortlessly romantic."
Collections begin with a research and moodboarding phase, curated by the studio owner and drawing on global travel inspiration. Designs are developed through hand painting and illustration "with a sprinkle of digital magic," combining traditional media with digital finishing.
Before founding the studio, Mihalakis worked within the UK high street swimwear, lingerie, and nightwear sector, where her designs appeared on brands including ASOS, Topshop, and Lipsy, as well as a number of independent labels (unverified as current studio clients). The studio now positions itself as a one-stop print resource for sleepwear, swim, and resort brands, offering both a print shop and custom design work.
Eragh Mihalakis graduated from NCAD with a Bachelor of Design in Textile Design in 2010, then moved to London to design swimwear, lingerie, and nightwear for the UK high street. In 2015 she relocated to Rio de Janeiro and spent two years travelling through South and Central America, during which she began working freelance and the idea for the studio took shape. The studio is now based in Dublin, Ireland.
