The Eleanor Bowmer story is such a good one. Girl loves art. Girl studies textile design at uni and gets a first. Girl does a few jobs she doesn't love and becomes very disenhearted. Girl decides to start her own business on a shoestring budget. Girl struggles. But slowly girl's dream starts to grow and before she knows it she's got a pretty successful homewares brand who have collaborated with the likes of Next.

So yes, Eleanor Bowmer are another UK based, woman run small business of which we are so fond of, but they have a true rags to riches story which we just love.
