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.
