Ellis White is a contemporary footwear and accessories label inspired by adhoc principles, which look to utilise materials and objects at hand. Created by Hollie White, the brand seeks to combine a passion for material innovation with a belief in craftsmanship and a hands-on, experimental approach to design;
I start off with quite a crude approach to each piece, drawing on everyday objects around me and prototyping minimal and utilitarian forms. The final products are hand crafted in Italy and beautiful finished, but there is a naivety to the shapes and construction that can only come about through trial and experimentation. It's this quality that I hope my customers are drawn to, explains White.
All leathers and components originate in the UK or Italy to ensure the highest quality and ethical practices are adhered to.
