Collecting:
Collecting pochoir prints is both enjoyable and also financially rewarding. Print prices have been increasing due to demand by both collectors and decorators.
The Les Choses de Paul Poiret is a particularly difficult collection to find and is historically a milestone in fashion design.
The complete set of Modes et Manieres has doubled in price in the last three years.
As more people discover the great illustrators, such as George Barbier, George Lepape and other pochoir prints will remain in demand.
