Every Bernadette Antwerp print starts as a drawing by Charlotte de Geyter, and every drawing has a name the house uses on its product pages. Here is the glossary of the prints, embroideries and knit patterns in the 77 pieces at Coveti on 22 September 2026, what each looks like, and where it appears, so that when a page says Rosebranches Red on Black you know what you are getting.

How the naming works

The house names a colourway as print, then ground: Hydrangea Green on Black is green hydrangeas on a black cloth, Lingerie Roses Red on Cream is red roses on cream. A single word means a solid: Taupe, Plum, Icy Pink. Embroidery is named the same way, with the word embroidery added. Knit patterns (intarsia, pointelle) name the technique. The prints are drawn for one season and not reissued, which is why the same name can carry several grounds in one year and none the next.

The terms

Lingerie Roses

The house rose, drawn small and scattered, in red on cream on the {DARA}, the {PYJ_CAPRI} and the {SCARF_ROSES}, in pink on black on the {KIRA_ROSES} and the {KATIA_ROSES}, and knitted into the socks and the long gloves. In tonal white embroidery it becomes the {EVERETT_WHITE}.

Hydrangea

The mophead flower, drawn as a full bloom. Green on black on the {EZRA_HYD}, the {PYJ_HYD} and the {SCARF_HYD}; pink on green on the {PEIGNOIR_HYD}; and knitted as one huge head in intarsia on the {KANE_CAMEL} and the {KANE_GREY}.

Rosebranches

Red roses on climbing stems against black, the season’s evening print. On the velvet-free silk-blend {ROXETTE_ROSE}, the strapless {DETTE} and the wool {CHUCK_LONG}.

Foxglove

Tall spires of foxglove in pinks on a dusty pink ground, printed on velvet for the {ROXETTE_FOX}. New this season.

Blackberry Branches

Blackberries on the cane, leaves and fruit, drawn in chocolate brown for the {BOWERY} and in pink for the {PYJ_BLACKBERRY}.

Blackberries

The fruit alone, clustered, in plum on the {CAMILLE_PLUM}.

Delphinium

The tall blue-black flower spike drawn black on green, the print of the {LENNY} and the {CAMILLE_LONG_DELPH}.

Cherries

Pairs of cherries on their stalks: printed on cream for the {PEIGNOIR_CHERRY}, embroidered in red on the {SHARON_CREAM} and the {SHARON_GREY}, and embroidered in multicolour on the {BAG_CREAM}.

Red Berries

Small red berries scattered on pink, the print of the {SCARF_BERRY} and the {CAMILLE_BERRY}, and knitted as intarsia on the {AMELIA_PINK}. Blue Berries on plum is its sister on the {AMELIA_PLUM}.

Bouquet embroidery

Full flower bouquets worked by hand in India: red on pink for the {LENA_PINK}, soft pink with pearls on black for the {LENA_BLK}, red on cream for the {ELLIOT}.

Monogram B

The house initial embroidered in white on optic white across the {EVERETT_MONO}.

Check, Vichy and Gingham

The house’s three grids: a cream, brown and pink tartan-effect check on the {CAMILLE_CHECK}, a khaki and pink wool Vichy on the {CAMILLE_LONG_VICHY}, and a brown and pink gingham knitted into the cashmere {KALLAS}.

Pointelle

Not a print but a knit: the openwork stitch of the Kira knitwear/cardigan/" class="cvx-al cvx-al--category">cardigans and the Katia skirts, in Storm Grey, Ruby Red and Lingerie Roses on black, and of the {KATT}.

Moire

Not a print either: the watered finish of the {EZRA_MOIRE} and the {ATTICUS_BLK}, a texture that reads as pattern.

Which print to choose

For a first Bernadette piece, the Lingerie Roses is the safest, because it is the house signature and it recurs in some form most seasons. For evening, Rosebranches on black reads darkest. For daytime colour, the Hydrangea on green and the check. The embroidered bouquets are the collector’s pieces. How to wear Bernadette says how to build an outfit around each.

Key facts

Every print is drawn by hand by Charlotte de Geyter; the house names colourways as print then ground.
14 named prints, embroideries and knit patterns across the 77 pieces at Coveti, from Lingerie Roses to Foxglove.
Lingerie Roses is the house signature and appears on tops/shirt/" class="cvx-al cvx-al--category">shirts, pyjamas, knits, scarves, socks and gloves this season.
Bouquet embroidery is worked by hand in India on the Lena and Elliot dresses; intarsia and pointelle are knit patterns, moire is a finish.
Prints are one-season; shapes return. A sold-through colourway is rarely repeated.

“After moving back to Antwerp I started painting hundreds of different botanic drawings,” Charlotte de Geyter told SheerLuxe in June 2023.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Bernadette Lingerie Roses print?

The house signature: small roses drawn by hand and scattered across the cloth, this season in red on cream, pink on black and as white embroidery on optic white, and knitted into socks and gloves.

What is the Bernadette hydrangea print?

A full mophead bloom drawn in green on black and pink on green this season, and knitted as one large head in intarsia on the Kane sweater.

Are Bernadette prints reissued?

Rarely. The house draws prints for one collection and told SheerLuxe it does not carry stock. Shapes come back; the drawings on them change.

What does Rosebranches mean on a Bernadette page?

Red roses on climbing stems drawn against black, the Autumn Winter 2026 evening print, on the Roxette and Dette dresses and the long Chuck skirt.

No. Pointelle is an openwork knit stitch; the house uses it on the Kira cardigans, the Katia skirts and the Katt sweater. Moire is a watered finish on a woven cloth, also not a print.
