Rachel Ellen Designs
Rachel Ellen Designs is an independent greetings card, stationery, and gift business located in Nottingham. The company's origins trace back to 1997 when Rachel Ellen, after retiring from a career as a professional ballet dancer, began hand-painting cards at her kitchen table in her London apartment.
Approximately 26 years later, the multi-award-winning business continues to chart its own course. Rachel's distinctive hand-painted style is immediately recognisable. This, coupled with meticulous attention to detail and a commitment to the highest standards of quality in all aspects, has established the company as a leading publisher in the UK and a market leader in children’s cards and gifts.
All of their greetings cards are entirely British made. Designed in house, they are all printed within a two and a half mile radius of their premises, resulting in a minimal carbon footprint. Subsequently, they undergo die-cutting, hand-finishing, cello wrapping, checking, picking, packing, and dispatching by their own skilled in-house team.
