Talking Prints is more than a brand. It is a story of creativity, culture, and community that started in the interior of Suriname.

Every product tells a story — not only about craftsmanship, but also about the women who create them and the traditions that inspire the designs.

Talking Prints began with a simple but powerful idea: creating meaningful work opportunities for women in the interior of Suriname.
In many villages in the interior, economic opportunities are limited. By training women in sewing and design, Talking Prints helps create sustainable income while preserving cultural traditions and craftsmanship.
Today, the brand works closely with talented artisans who transform colorful fabrics into unique handmade products.
Many Talking Prints products are created in villages along the rivers of Suriname. In the atelier, women carefully craft tote bags, headwraps, accessories, and other items using vibrant fabrics inspired by Suriname’s culture and nature.
These products are not mass-produced. Each item is handmade with care and reflects the creativity of the artisans behind it.
