5 out of 5 starsI bought this as a gift for my writer boyfriend to go in his study. It really needed to be here on time and Ella made sure it was :) It was just lovely - the perfect combination of cosy, stylish and manly! He was super happy with it and so was I. Ella was lovely throughout and I had perfect confidence in her and her work. A talented and lovely lady. Don't hesitate to buy! :)

Antique Victorian footstool - re-upholstered in Harris Tweed
Welcome to Ella Jenkins Designs
In 2009 I set up my furniture makeover business. Specialising in the upholstery of antique and vintage furniture, I found myself removing beautiful French linens, fabulous hand embroidered tapestry pieces, and vintage silks that were all destined for the bin. Don’t get me wrong, I was more often than not replacing them with equally beautiful fabrics from the best of the UK’s designers. But being a bit of a magpie I kept everything, every last scrap.
To my fabric stock pile I added antique and vintage textiles, that I have a flair for seeking out whilst attending local auction houses and antique fairs.
Amongst the house clearance sections I often found the most beautifully worked hand embroidered table cloths and exquisitely crocheted lace doilies. It was heart breaking to see such treasured possessions discarded and then sold off for a few pennies. They reminded me of my beloved Irish Nana who taught me to sew, knit and crochet when I was just five years old. So I took them home, lovingly laundered them and carefully folded them away with all the other gorgeous fabrics, braids, trimming, buttons and ribbons I had accumulated.
One Christmas I decided to make all my gifts for friends and family so I rifled through my fabric stash and made some cushions and a few lavender hearts. Friends and family then began to order some for themselves to give as presents. Inspired, I did a few local craft fairs. I was amazed when everything I made proved very popular and I discovered a demand for unique designs made using traditional skills.
Ella Jenkins Designs has evolved since those early days but I still maintain the key principles I started with:-
I only ever design and make items that I love and everything I make is to the highest standard possible;
Wherever possible, I use reclaimed fabrics and trimmings for a truly individual character to each piece, as well as being kind to the environment.
I source everything I use within the UK as I firmly believe we need to bring manufacturing back to this country and I want to support other small businesses;
This isn’t a ‘job’ it’s my passion!
