Lellibelle

Who we are

Hi, I’m Helen, and I create original textile art using a combination of fabric appliqué, freehand machine embroidery and hand embroidery. The designs are then scanned and digitally printed onto greetings cards and homewares. I love British wildlife and nature, and these are the inspiration behind my designs.

From the outset of my business, I have been mindful of unnecessary plastic and wanted the business to be as environmentally friendly as possible, and where possible, support other UK suppliers. All of my cards are printed on recycled card, in Cambridgeshire, have recycled envelopes, and are protected by fully biodegradable and compostable display bags. My melamine coasters and placemats are manufactured with a sustainably sourced Eucalyptus board base, the tea towels are digitally printed on 100% Organic cotton, and are all manufactured in the UK.

When I was little, my twin sister couldn’t say ‘Helen’; instead she called me Lell or Lellie. This name stuck, and my mum and dad called me Lellie Bell for years. This inspired the name of my business, ‘Lellibelle’!
