DITTOHOUSE is a Cleveland, Ohio-based home textile brand founded in 2015 by Molly Fitzpatrick. Molly believes in sustainable textile design that will thrill and delight for years and be as lasting as the quality products they adorn. DITTOHOUSE textiles transcend trends and are created with a rich appreciation of the important role textiles play in our lives.
As a textile designer, I think in repeat and see pattern as a great equalizer. Patterns are distinguishing, comforting, memorable and lasting. Patterns are accessible to all, given their prominent role in our societies as the background rhythms of our lives- no art history degree or previous access is needed to experience colors and shapes dancing in perfect tempo together. It is my intention to help you create a vibrant connection to your space with bold textiles. Through the universal language of patterns, spaces that include engaging textiles are welcoming, memorable, and conversation starting.
The greatest privilege I ever had was my first job after college as a textile designer in a mill in North Carolina. Working daily in the mill, absorbing decades of experience from dedicated warpers, winders and weavers, learning to create a textile, was a foundational experience. I truly respect and honor the time and resources spent to create new products.
My values guide my work. I aim to design and operate with the bigger issues of the world in mind. I am aware that the textile industry has been built on exploitation and abuse of people and the land. I acknowledge this history and believe that through systems of solidarity, I can do good with my textiles and shine brilliantly with others.
In addition to the DITTOHOUSE product line, I am lucky to be involved in other textile-work. I consult on textile designs for manufacturers, license my designs and create commissioned site-specific works. You can learn more about my textile design studio here.
DITTOHOUSE started a year after my first baby was born because I wanted cute and cozy textiles that would be long lasting, bold, and look at home in my modern house. My business was inspired by my growing family and will always be a family-affair. My two kids, husband, parents, siblings and friends are the reason DITTOHOUSE exists and though technically this is a one-woman operation, they are the foundation and motivation for all I do.
