Emily Carter

OUR STORY

Emily Carter is an award-winning British designer based in London, specialising in hand illustrated silk accessories and interiors. The collections are inspired by a lifelong interest in the natural world, where each design tells its own unique and individual story. The design process begins with a detailed original drawing, where endless experiments in colour and composition lead to the finished design. Printed on high quality materials and hemmed and packaged by hand, every product is made in England to the highest standard. With emphasis on timeless and original design, our products are intended to be treasured for a lifetime, and are made using the finest British craftsmanship.

OUR VALUES

The word ‘craft’ has become a signifier of value, and represents the importance of knowledge, skill and above all, ingenuity involved in any creative process. Each Emily Carter product is illustrated and finished by hand, emphasising the value of timeless and original design.
Our products are proudly made in England, and we produce in small quantities to avoid waste. Any faulty items are sold in sample sales, and due to the fact that many product ranges are made-to-order, we don’t hold any excess stock. Our packaging is also recyclable and plastic-free where possible. Quality plays an essential role in the sustainability of this industry, and for this reason our products are ethically manufactured from the best quality fabrics, and are designed to last a lifetime.
