Rachel Ellen Designs marks 20th anniversary

Further expansion plans on the cards as company celebrates milestone birthday.

Rachel Ellen Designs – which was founded by former ballet dancer Rachel Church – is ‘on point’ in readiness to celebrate the company’s 20th anniversary this year.

Rachel, who co-owns the business with her husband Justin, has expanded her greeting card and children’s stationery ranges to include many gifts, bags, accessories and homewares.

“We decided to expand into gifts very early on, beginning with stationery and paper products, and have been steadily growing our offering ever since,” Rachel told The Source’s sister title, Progressive Gifts & Home.

“One of our most successful lines has been our tin range which we launched in 2012, which we have constantly refreshed. Currently we have over 50 different tin items in the collection.”

More recently, the company has launched children’s drinks bottles, a textile line including rucksacks, tabards and bags, hand-painted glass bracelets and a hair accessories collection to name a few.

But it’s not all about kids gifts either.

“We also have an extensive wedding stationery range and lots more ‘grown up’ stationery in the pipeline,” added Rachel.
