Hand Screen-Printed Greetings Cards |

Elly Oak is a handmade
greeting card business
founded in Melbourne,
Australia in 2009 by Kate
Richmond.
Kate completed a Fine Arts
Honours degree and an
Interior Design degree,
before working for an online
art gallery, and then in a
variety of corporate and
buying roles.
She then decided to leave the
office environment behind to
pursue her long-time desire to
design and make things, and
follow her creative ambitions.
She has converted a spare
room at home into a lovely
light-filled studio and office,
where she now spends her
days busily creating cards and
running her business.
All cards are original designs,
and are hand screen-printed,
making each one a unique
little piece of art.
Elly Oak hopes to provide
people with beautiful, simple
designs that are a little bit
different. Kate's philosophy is
to simply create cards that
she loves and would want to
buy herself... and then others
may feel the same way too.
The brand represents a love
of colour, Scandinavian
design, simplicity and
handcrafted art.
Elly Oak cards are distributed
to over 80 stockists around
Australia, including art
galleries, museums, gift
shops, florists, cafes and
bookstores. |
