Our Story

Presidio Prints started with Tessa McMillan’s love of color, art, and the way a space can transform how you feel. Inspired by her life in San Francisco’s Presidio neighborhood, her surroundings are filled with objects collected from around the world like tapestries from Cairo, London-style prints, and delicate line drawings that once lined the kitchen of her childhood home.

She began turning her nature-inspired paintings into patterns and printing them with water-based inks on heavyweight Belgian linen. Bold, playful, and made to last, these fabrics are meant to brighten everyday spaces and bring joy in the smallest details.
