Ellis by Design

I am Alaina...the owner and crafter of this loving Philadelphia-based operation. As the granddaughter of a seamstress and a cutter-of-men's-clothes, sewing has always been in my blood, but it was not until 2023 that I decided to hone my skills and effort into this small business to share with you!

My Craft Journey

The idea began when I adopted my first kitten, Chives Ruby, and wanted a safe and sustainable toy to make her feel comfortable at home. This was the impetus of my first and most popular product, the hand-sewn cat-nip kickers. From there, I've expanded into other pet toys, jewelry bags, totes, and a variety of other products through custom orders.
