About Ellabees
Ellabee's in an independent family run British life style brand. We hand print our own distinctive, modern vintage designs onto everyday products. Each artwork is designed by artist by artist and illustrator Ella - Grace Collins and is inspired by the animals who make life golden. We sell online internationally and have attended craft markets across the uk, we have achieved several awards including prizes for business innovation and attending the national young traders market finals.
After a long hospital admission I began to realise how easy it is to overlook the little things that bring us joy in a world constantly striving for perfection. Inspired by how my dogs and horses see the world — full of curiosity, joy, and unconditional acceptance — I began creating art to help people see life differently. My work celebrates imperfection, kindness, and the small moments that make each day special.

From those first hospital sketches, Ellabee's grew into a creative family project at our kitchen table. My mum, the true mastermind behind the brand, helped bring everything to life — buying our first mug press, printing designs onto T-shirts and mugs, and shaping the stalls that became the heart of our journey. From the first sketch our mission has remained clear throughout: to transform everyday products to remind us that there is always light in the darkness when we embrace our imperfections and notice the little things we so often overlook. At Ellabee's, we believe that — like the bees who were never designed to fly but do anyway — we can all find our own way to shine.
My passion for animals, especially rescue dogs, has led me to collaborate with several animal rescues, using my artwork to raise awareness and support their incredible work. Many of my illustrations are inspired by these real rescue dogs and their stories — beautiful reminders of how golden imperfection can be, and how love and resilience can transform lives.
I also take commissions, creating personalised pieces that serve as daily reminders to embrace imperfections and find joy in the ordinary all around us.
Our work now includes illustrated mugs, prints, cards, baby grows, stickers, T-shirts, and more - featuring our signature bee where we can and touches of gold, symbolising that imperfection is golden. We celebrate imperfection wherever we can - from upcycling frames to using recycled paper in our prints. I work in mixed media, using everything from potatoes to cotton buds — because creativity, like life, doesn't have to follow the rules to be beautiful.
Our new line also includes one-of-a-kind pieces such as candles in vintage teacups and preloved teddy bears with hand-illustrated labels each designed to make you smile while helping us reduce waste and reuse materials.

Every Ellabee's creation carries our core message:
Beeing different is
what makes us special.
“Through my art, I want to create a sense of escape. I want to design products that remind people that it is ok not to be perfect, in fact our imperfections are
the most beautiful thing of all ! Each piece encourages people to rediscover the wonder that still exists in the world around us.
