NEW SEASON
Heal’s Discovers AW26
The Heal’s Discovers initiative is at the heart of the brand’s commitment to nurturing the next generation of design talent. The AW26 programme welcomes three exceptional creatives whose work spans textiles, weaving and fine art.
Fleur Simon
Heal’s Discovers welcomes British artist Fleur Simon. Working with poured and layered resin to create immersive abstractions, Fleur brings her bold and distinctive visual language to the initiative this season.
As part of the exclusive collaboration with Heal’s, Fleur has created one original artwork, plus a series of limited-edition prints. Her pieces are marked by sweeping, gestural forms and a luminous palette, with cool green, deep navy and dusty rose evoking elemental movement and shifting atmospheres.

Jessie De Salis
Jessie de Salis works from her studio near Bristol, hand-printing onto 100% organic linen using water-based inks, producing small-batch pieces that combine artisanal craft with a bold, graphic sensibility. Her considered approach to both materials and process reflect a deep commitment to sustainable making, resulting in textiles that feel as thoughtful as they are beautiful.
Jessie has created a collection of napkins and runners in two distinctive print designs – Ribbon Stripe and Lino – available in colourways developed exclusively for Heal’s. Produced in small batches, each piece carries the subtle variation and character that is the hallmark of hand-printing.
