Basil & Ford

Stamford, Lincolnshire

We are Basil + Ford.

Designer. Screen printed wonders.

Pairing original vintage imagery inc. book plates, maps, posters, ciggie cards and more with bold, bright and thought provoking typography.

From well-known quotes, words overheard and lines of our own.

Our aim is simple. To offer a new lease of life to all things old and forgotten. Our editions are small batch. Many one of a kinds.

In addition, we also create graphic open editions to hang on your walls, tea towels for drying the dishes, cards we wish to send to our chums and enamel pins for lovely lapels.

The story behind the business
Meet Basil & Ford

We both worked in creative agencies in London when we found out we were expecting our first child so we decided that we wanted to move out of the big smoke and we headed to Stamford to set up our own creative business.

Fast forward 10 years and here we are, 2 children in the mix and still pulling squeegees. We have evolved and changed over time but our passion for flouro colours and vintage finds is still going strong. We have added graphic prints, stationery, homewares and apparel into our portfolio and are constantly looking at new ways to bring our designs to life.
