Happy (busy) Girls!

I have quickly snapped a picture of Karen and Mel working out all the costs on the new Spring Summer jewellery designs and Fiona who is putting together the last of our agents samples of our new handmade card ranges which will also launch in Feb 2010. Lello has nine agents who sell their products around the UK into independent retailers, from Narborough Hall in Enderby, Leicestershire to Proposals in Stirlingshire.

Lello has manufactured handmade cards for 11 years now and amongst our own brand we have designed Finest cards for Tesco and card packs for Monsoon / Accessorize together with designs for Lakeland and WHSmith to name a few, so the jewellery lines are relatively new for us.

We chose to remove all the handmade card designs from the website a month or so ago as we felt there was just too much on there and it was confusing for our customers.

In 2010 we will start re-loading our new lines of handmade cards in a much 'easier to shop' format for the general public to buy online alongside their jewellery purchases. We have something for everyone from hen night cards to wedding, baby and birthday and more....

All our cards are made on site here in the UK using recycled board and compostable poly bags.

The general public can buy our cards in bulk for Weddings, Engagements, Baby announcements, Moving house and other special occasions.


Fiona, Karen D and Melanie.

A Sunny Monday Morning!

How lovely it is to come into work this morning and have some sunshine after all the rain.
I made sure I was wearing something to reflect the happy mood and threw on my Alice necklace, long metal beaded necklace with matching bracelet Alexa, it makes such a statement.
All these metal lines which have sold so well for us since their launch in January will be back in stock at the end of this week.

We are working on our new 2010 lines of handmade card designs this week, discussing ideas around the studio and looking has what sold well for us this past year. Much of our manufacturing came back to the UK after all our problems overseas with the dollar and factories going bust. It's the best thing we ever did.
We will be looking at new boards and beautiful new embellishments to add to them to exhibit at the Spring Fair, Birmingham in Feb 2010!

Take a look at our lovely handmade cards!
