Welcome To Our Purpose

Cultivating Joy and
Giving Back to Nature

Elizabeth Scarlett exists to promote joyful living, while raising funds to protect our planets precious wildlife.

Our Founder

Meet Elizabeth

Elizabeth started building Elizabeth Scarlett in 2015, painting beautiful watercolours that were then translated onto gorgeous fabrics with intricate embroidery. To this day, every pattern, symbol or motif comes from one of Elizabeth’s original paintings. “I wanted to create pieces that evoked feelings of joy, inspired wanderlust and captured the beauty of the world.”

Our business is still family-owned and has grown to be a full team of talented and passionate people. We are lucky to have worked with some incredible brand partners, including Anthropologie, Birchbox, Bobbi Brown, L’Occitane and Estee Lauder, who have all helped us get to where we are today.

Elizabeth Scarlett grew from a passion for art, finding pleasure in small everyday moments and appreciating the natural world around us. Each year, we commit to giving back to wildlife and supporting keystone species. Find out more below…

“Since I can remember, I’ve always loved wildlife, drawing and painting animals. It soothes me, brings me into a flow and connects me with my youthful spirit.”

Why we must protect
wild animals

So far, with your help, we’ve awarded over £500,000 to charities and projects that support animal conservation.

Our Pledge

2% To The Wild

We are pledging 2% of our annual sales to the preservation of wild animals. This means that, whether we make money or not, we tax ourselves for using the earth’s resources and honour the animals that embellish our much-loved textiles.

Our Mission

Why wildlife conservation?

We’re committed to the preservation of keystone species as they uphold balance in their ecosystems, enabling biodiversity. The term is coined to describe the key role they play within their natural habitat. While they may not be the most productive species, or the most endangered, their very existence helps prevent a dramatic, disastrous change in their ecosystem.

Given Elizabeth’s passion for wildlife, we consider supporting keystone species our most valuable contribution to conservation efforts. We cannot promise to save this much-challenged world, but, having defined our focus, will do our best to drive change in the areas we can.

Our Projects

Our Proudest Achievements

Protecting over 3000 turtle hatchlings

Together with the Blue Marine Foundation, we’ve been able to move endangered nests, clean beaches, and safely guide baby turtles toward the water.

Milk for Orphan Elephants

Through our Elephant Conservation Collection we’ve been able to provide over 20,000 bottles of special formula milk for baby elephants in the care of the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust.

Supporting Tiger Conservation in India

Our collaboration is working to raise awareness and funds for SUJÁN’s Tiger Conservation Initiatives and projects in Rajasthan, India. Each purchase will directly support our shared goal to provide the Village Wildlife Volunteers with a rapid response conservation unit to aid the protection of wild tigers.

Future Impact

Are you working for a charity or project that helps protect wildlife? We’d love to hear from you.

Beneficiaries include the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust - in support of Elephants, Giraffes and other iconic African Wildlife - and Local Ocean Conservation - in support of Turtles. In 2021, we're specifically looking for grassroots projects in the UK that support Bees, Beavers and Red Squirrels.

Creating with Care

As part of our commitment to ensure you can shop with confidence, we are continuously reviewing and updating our fabrics, packaging and processes to be kinder to the planet.

Our Partners

Meet our Makers

We only work with trusted, certified factories that are regularly audited by us or our partners. This ensures they uphold our values and have the same vision for social and environmental practices that we do. These are factories that are free from forced or underage labour; where employees benefit from a safe working environment and are paid a decent, living wage.

Each collection is produced in small batches every few months to ensure we are never overstocked and nothing goes to waste.

Embroidery in cottons

Our velvet embroidered textile products are crafted in our women-owned, SMETA certified factory in Shandong, China. Our family has worked with Susan and her team for generations and our velvet accessories are cut and finished at her factory.
