The brand has sold directly to over 120,000 customers in the UK alone and is stocked in Anthropologie, John Lewis, Fortnum & Mason, as well as other leading luxury boutiques and stores nationwide. Encouraged by her grandad, an entrepreneur and hobbyist painter, Elizabeth has painted animals and wildlife from a young age.
