ABOUT ME

Le café de maman

Welcome!

I’m Ellie and I welcome you here in this small creative place.

I am a sewist, artist and pattern designer, I make clothes and wall hangings, embroidery and pattern design collections deeply inspired by the calm of nature. Because there is something profound about plants. About nature. Something soothing and geniously unique.

Botanical design on a dress, robe or bedding, on art piece within a wall gallery, on armchair or wallpaper… offers such deep sense of style yet stillness. Pretty much everything I create is inspired by nature and the comfort it radiates.

Most days, when I sit down to create a piece of art or to make an artisan piece of fashion for somebody dear that visited our shop, I have an image in mind. It’s an image of a café.

A café with calm back yard filled with plants and trees, old chairs and cats walking around. One where they sell homemade cakes and muled wine in mismatched mugs. One where you can be yourself, and enjoy listening to aspiring musicians playing for you from an improvized small wooden stage in the corner. Where you let your little one play peacefully on a blanket. On a sunny day.

There are many gentle details around me which inspire the calming and nurturing vibe of my brand. Read more about ‘What inspires me’ HERE.

Welcome. Come and be creative with us or treat yourself to a piece of artwork for your home or wardrobe, deeply inspired by the calm of nature. 

Le café de maman is..

Neutral oatmeal shades and french grey… silver charm… lavender blue… pearl and egg shell ivory… milk white and alpaca… scotch mist… winter mood.

Cozy and warm.

A place to come and relax and daydream.

Place to play and be inspired.

I am a mum like many others.

Some days overwhelmed with joy, some I better hide the bags under my eyes behind a book or a laptop screen. That’s called baby teething. Or toddler’s twos.

But I found how much can be soothed by nature and creativity.

I like to share what I love. And stay iNSPiRED & create.

Make things to treat others to.

Capturing little details and turning them into wearable art and pieces to make a home cozy and beautiful.

Little details and the feelings they bring.

Like the candlelight. And the look of a lit Christmas tree in a dark corner. Like the nature.

And my boy.

And our cat.

Welcome to our creative little place.

Began this year with positive thoughts 💫 Standi Began this year with positive thoughts 💫 Standing in the sunlight and believing that 2021 will be a year of exciting chances and quiet joy! Last year we had the honor to dress many beautiful women around the world who (like us) love the artisan value of hand-crafted fashion. Each piece an original for each of these unique women! New year began and we are already busy continuing, sending out small pieces of handmade love. And what's new - drawing, lino carving, designing, planning... and being so grateful a few hours into this year already. 💕 
This morning I went to the stable to feed the animals. There is something about them that I just love. The atmosphere is safe, they trust you to bring food, speak kindly. The mummy rabbits don't mind you touching the little ones as you change the straw. The pigs sit in a line and wait for you to feed them apples by hand. The calf chews your jacket when you stroke her head. What's there not to love about the peaceful life in the countryside. 💕
