I'm not a big fan of either designer. Paige Evans's pages and collections give me a headache. Way too many colors and rainbows. Maggie Holmes's collections look muddy to me. I don't like muted colors much. There are a few Paige Evans papers that I like, but not enough to buy them. I am so picky about what I buy nowadays. I really have to love it to buy it.

... The MH collection feels like it would have fit better coming out in 2020 when cottagecore was on trend. ... I agree; it seems cottagecore-inspired & dated! |

Paige Evans - Adventurous - ... I think a lot of this is just repeating her old designs. Her aesthetic is so narrow that all of her lines look a like. ... Yes - feminine & floral on repeat |

I’ve never bought any Paige Evens designs only because she sells from her own site and I just never go there much. ... As Ryann indicated, Paige Evans is an American Crafts brand. Evidenced by the links (to ACOT) in the OP, the Paige Evans brand is available at online retailers (e.g. ACOT, SB.com), Joann (in Designer Destination stores & online), certain discount/dollar stores, & anywhere else American Crafts brands are sold. |

Thanks for your responses. I'm not the target audience for either brand, so nothing is added to my wish list.

I used to love Paige events collections when they were fairly new. Now it all looks the same. And adventure themed collection with tons of florals is just not something I would go for. I love florals alot in general but this combination just does not appeal to me.
For Maggie Holmes collection, I am not a fan of her products because of its cottage style.

Due to some confusion with an order at my old LSS I have a LOT of Paige's Scenic Route collection and I've hardly used any of it. For some reason I find her collections hard to use. I like the look of some of the papers, but I agree that it does look like what she has done before. I may pick up a couple of sheets to breathe some life into what I already have.
Maggie Holmes is a pass for me. I really miss her old lines...give me Maggie Holmes from a decade ago any day!
