Just a girl

finding escapism

About

Elsa & Evelyn was founded in 2018 and is nestled in a small, sleepy town in Hampshire, surrounded by the countryside.

Our mission is to design and create reusable products that reduce the need for single-use plastic and enable others to have a positive impact on our planet 🌎 .

Born through a journey of self-discovery after a challenging life point, through determination and a slow-living mindset, Elsa & Evelyn has bloomed into a brand I'm so proud of. It's given us the opportunity to step back and live life with everything it has to offer. Embracing a slow, mindful pace of life.

Personally, I believe that uncovering a sense of escapism through our interests, talents, and the beauty of nature rejuvenates us, cultivating balance, friendship, togetherness, and a sense of well-being.

In this fast-paced world, it's important to be aware of the things that make us the happiest, to be intentional with our time, and to add more joy, peace, and simplicity to our daily lives. 

We're devoted to crafting quality pieces that prioritise environmental
consciousness, desirability, and affordability, all infused with a touch of humour.

The name

My dog 🐾, Elsa who's a Plummer Terrier and full of energy, loves snuggles and is always by my side. She came into my life at just the right moment.

My Grandma, Evelyn, was the wonderful woman who ignited the spark for my creativity. We'd always be making something whenever I stayed with her (which was every weekend & half-term!).

One of my first memories was making clay ornaments, one of them being a little hollow tree stump with wildlife creatures such as mice and squirrels climbing through them. She had her own kiln so you can imagine how many clay pieces were made!

She also loved to make flower arrangements, so some of her favourite flowers are featured on some of our designs.

In memory of her significant impact on my life, it was only natural to name the business after her.
