About us-Ellie Bosch

Our story begins with South Africa’s wildflowers and wildlife, woven into creations made with care by local artisans.

At Ellie Bosch, we craft handmade bags, stationery, children’s books, and home décor — scatter cushions, rugs, and more — all inspired by the natural beauty of our land.

But Ellie Bosch is more than a brand. It’s a movement rooted in community, creativity, and empowerment.

 Our Mission

We exist to create local jobs and celebrate the artistry of women-owned businesses in South Africa. Every item is handmade by talented women in George, Western Cape, using fabrics and stationery printed locally. By choosing Ellie Bosch, you’re not just buying a product — you’re supporting families, uplifting communities, and keeping traditional craftsmanship alive.

 Our Inspiration

From the delicate petals of wildflowers to the untamed beauty of African wildlife, our designs tell the story of our land. Some collections even feature artwork inspired by wildlife photography by Jacques Jordaan, bringing the spirit of nature into your home.

 Our Promise

Handmade with care — every stitch and print carries the touch of local hands.

Eco-conscious design — we use durable, locally printed fabrics and repurpose leftover textiles into thoughtful items like our Pocket Fold-Up Shopping Bags.

Personalized keepsakes — from Pillow Pals to towels and blankets, many of our products can be customized with your child’s name for a treasure that lasts.

Nature-inspired packaging — simple, warm, and perfect for gifting.

 Our Reach

We proudly ship across South Africa, with free delivery in George and nationwide orders over R500. For international customers, we’ll do our best to bring a piece of South Africa to your doorstep.

 At Ellie Bosch, we proudly celebrate South Africa’s wildflowers, wildlife, and women-owned craftsmanship — weaving everyday beauty into creations that empower communities and bring magic into homes.

 

We strongly believe in the power of facilitating creativity. Surviving in the present technologically driven era of artificial Intelligence, requires you to be competitive by finding your strengths, and by creating an inner calm and happiness throughout this creative process. Teaching art and design to young children and adults builds their confidence, creates moments of success and ensures happy individuals.

Our Artblocks, Sketchpads, Journals and Notebooks are designed to put life and colour back in your hands. You can plan, dream, sketch, make notes and write about the good and the bad that life throws your way.  Our stationery is printed on high quality paper and bound by hand at a local small business in George.

Our brand aims to create jobs in our communities by promoting and using local businesses for the manufacturing of our products.

Our stationery carries the message of caring for the inner self, our bags caring for the environment and other people, and our dresses caring about beauty, both inner and outer beauty.

My Message

With every Daisy flower comes the wisdom of all the different seasons of my life, the understanding of difficult times, the importance of growing where I am, the power of closing my petals over my centre when darkness falls and the absolute joy of feeling the warmth of the African sun when I dare to open my petals.

Join me on this journey to feel good, look good and do good.
