My portrait by Claudia

 

Well hi there, my name is Elisabeth.

I developed a love of fabric at a young age, and I’ve never quite stopped playing with it. When we bought our house, it came with a workroom, and suddenly my hobby turned into a business.

For the first few years I obsessively acquired fabric to use in my products, but gradually realised that I needed to be using fabrics that no-one else had. So I revived my long abandoned drawing skills, and relaunched my products using my own fabric designs. These days my business is a celebration of the beautiful environment we have here in Aotearoa New Zealand.

I design and make accessories, stationery and homewares. My current range brings our beautiful native birds into reach. Tūī, kererū, tauhou, kākā and ruru feature in my own original illustrations, and I’ve had fabric printed which I then make up into the different products. You’ll find wallets and purses perfect for organising your handbag, journals and pencil cases to help organise your thoughts and ideas, and beautiful cushions and lampshades – ok, they won’t help you organise anything, but they’ll look great in your home! I also have prints and cards featuring my illustrations.

You can browse a selection of my products here on my website, or if you’re more of a hands-on shopper, feel free to pop on over to my stockists or markets page to find out where and when you can shop in person.

Ka kite ano,

A bientôt,

See ya soon!
