Rachel Ellen Designs

Rachel Ellen Designs is an independent greeting card, stationery and gift business based in a Victorian mill building in Nottingham, England. The company was founded in 1997 when Rachel retired from a career as a professional ballet dancer and started hand painting cards at the kitchen table in her London apartment.

21 years later the company now employs nearly 30 people and has won a host of awards. Rachel’s charming hand painted style is instantly recognisable and her drive to be creative along with her attention to detail and insistence on quality have been key factors in making the company what it is today – one of the leading publishers in the UK and market leaders in children’s cards and gifts.
