[1] After completing her studies, Eson Bodin divided her time as a freelance designer and an employee at textile firms including Bohus Stickning and Almedahls.
From the early 1970s, she became Almedahls' principal designer of patterns, creating lively and colourful cotton prints which have continued to attract interest in the second-hand market.
Working mainly with a variety of natural materials, she designed clothes, interior furnishings, leather wear, slippers, knitted items, underwear and nightwear.
Her creations for leisure wear collections produced by FOV Fabrics and Almedahls gained popularity abroad, particularly in Germany and the UK.
