Genevieve Hewson & Lauren Emerson, Founders of Walter G
In 2012, best friends Lauren Emerson and Genevieve Hewson found themselves travelling through remote villages in India, immersing themselves in learning the art and history of hand block printing. It was here, the idea to create their own boutique textile house was born.
