Since 1986, when Jennifer Barclay began making clothing in her parents’ garage, every single piece of the hundreds of thousands of Blue Fish garments that have been made have been printed by an artisan’s hand. The design process begins with concepts and ideas that are sketched by hand then move through many steps and are transformed into the reality of beautiful, collectible garments. From travels, dreams, and interests, inspiration is found. Our print blocks are designed and hand-carved by us. Then, for every collection a new palette of color is developed. The artisans of Blue Fish, each embodying our creative spirit for composition, begin to create. They have developed their own method of printing, which is based on hand block printing and includes elements of mono-and hand-painting. (They are happy to employ local artisans, moms, and others to form our Blue Fish family- they’re all proud of what they are creating.) All of the clothes Blue Fish make are and always have been produced in the U.S.
