Rachel Ellen Designs is an independent greetings card, stationery and gift business based in Nottingham. Founded in 1997, when Rachel retired from a career as a professional ballet dancer and started hand-painting cards at the kitchen table in her London apartment, the company has grown into one of the UK's most recognised greeting card suppliers. Interest in Rachel's unique products soon grew and she moved back to her home city of Nottingham, where family support, a lot of hard work, constant innovation and a fearless spirit saw the company evolve and thrive.

Some 26 years later, the multi award-winning business continues to forge its own path. Rachel's charming hand-painted style is instantly recognisable, and combined with incredible attention to detail and an insistence on the highest level of quality, it has helped make the company one of the leading greeting card designers and publishers in the UK — and market leaders in children's cards and gifts. Our wholesale greeting card range is available to retailers across the UK and worldwide.
