Written by the company

Homeware and accessories for nature lovers, dreamers and maximalists Emma J Shipley’s mission is to share the magic of nature and spark the imagination. The homeware brand is known for fantastical prints based on founder Emma’s hand-drawn illustrations. Inspiration comes from the unique beauty of the natural world, exploring myths, legends and surreal fantasy. Creations include home furnishings, accessories and lifestyle items (such as scarves, phone cases and notebooks), all adorned with Emma’s colourful and intricately-drawn artworks. Everything is made ethically, in premium materials, while always considering and minimising the impact on the environment. Sustainability is a key part of the brand, so pieces are meant to be treasured for years to come. Best-selling styles include the Lost World bedding, Zambezi luxury velvet cushion and Lynx wallpaper. The brand launched at London Fashion Week in 2012, after Emma graduated from the Royal College of Art. She won multiple awards for her drawing and designs on graduation, and has since won business recognition in the UK and internationally, including the WGSN Global Fashion Award for Emerging Brand. Fashion boutique Browns launched her graduate collection of printed scarves; today, the homeware and lifestyle collections are stocked in some of the best department stores around the world, including Harrods and Liberty in London, with the full range available on emmajshipley.com. The company has always been committed to protecting the environment, and, in particular, endangered species. “We have given back to nature with a number of charities over the years, and in 2020 we launched an ongoing partnership with World Land Trust,” says Emma. “As part of their Plant a Tree programme, WLT are planting native trees to save, protect and restore critically threatened habitat for wildlife. We have currently donated over 3,000 trees, funded by purchases on emmajshipley.com, and we will continue to support endangered wildlife in the future.” The last few years have seen the product range grow, and in spring 2022 the first Fine China Dining collection was launched. It comprises plates, bowls and mugs, all crafted expertly in Stoke-on-Trent in fine bone china, that are adorned with four of the bestselling hand-drawn designs: Lynx, Zambezi, Kruger and Rousseau. The series has been designed to be as practical as it is magical, with all pieces being dishwasher and microwave safe. “It’s been so exciting to work on a completely new category and material for me, especially collaborating with such talented makers here in the UK,” says Emma. “It wasn’t easy translating my detailed designs, which required 12 layers of screen-printed colour; however it was worth all the hard work and I’m delighted with the outcome.” The product range will continue to grow this year, with more pieces to add to the table, new cushions and prints, plus some special collections to celebrate a decade of the brand. These are original designs, to spark the imagination, and be treasured for years to come.

The customer service is fantastic

The customer service is fantastic. I was dealing with Georgia and she made sure that all my questions were answered and made sure I got the best possible price for my beautiful purchases. Thank you!
I have bought wallpaper from EJS before and it is such a beautiful and high quality product that I had no hesitation purchasing again.

Prompt delivery. Perfect condition.

Coffee mugs I ordered from Emma J Shipley arrived promptly from the UK to the USA in the time promised. They are exactly as pictured, fanciful and brightly colored, and in perfect condition. I find no flaws or irregularities; they are finely crafted. Exactly what I hoped for and my new kitchen!

My Stunning Lynx

I am completely in awe of my Lynx pendant I have just bought. It's absolutely stunning, chunky and yet refined, a thing of utter beauty, I am over the moon.
I also want to give a big shout out to customer services, and Emma herself who helped me with my many questions, I can honestly say I received the best customer service I have experienced anywhere for a very long time. What a fabulous, creative company, with dream like fantasy products.

Beautiful placemats - Great customer service

First off, I love my placemats - worth every penny. They should last a lifetime. Second, Emma Shipley customer service is wonderful. Some of them arrived damaged in shipping and they worked tirelessly with me to come to a resolution; Georgia was quick to respond and made it easy to get replacements for the damaged ones.

Printed fabric price extortionate

Printed fabric price extortionate, communication is extremely poor, really disappointed as the prices keep increasing for the same level of quality. Forced to look elsewhere.

Hello, I'm sorry to hear that you were not happy with our pricing. Unfortunately due to supplier price increase we have had to raise our pricing on our fabric and wallpaper. This is something that is out of our control but wherever we can get discounts we pass them on to our customers. I have request more information so I can help assist you further.

Had an issue… Excellent customer service.

Had an issue with a product I had ordered in it arriving damaged. Georgia responded to my issue in a timely way, sent out another product and apologised for the inconvenience. Fabulous customer service from a company that clearly cares about their customers and their experience. I’ll be back for more products in the future. X

Emma Shipley velvet chair inferior quality

We have purchased an Emma Shipley velvet patterned chair from a retailer. It is a beautiful chair just what we wanted however the fabric is poor ..it is 2 seperate colours and looks worn or sun bleached on the back and bottom and as a focal point can be clearly seen. The chair was expensive. we questioned it and was told that was because it is velvet ??? after numerous emails they have eventually agreed to collect for a refund. I would suggest only purchase products that you have physically seen as once bought a real hassle to get an answer from them.

Purchased a Lynx duvet cover and bought…

Purchased a Lynx duvet cover and bought the matching pillowcases which do not come with the duvet. It doesn’t come as a set, despite the extremely high price tag. I loved the design so decided to buy these items. Upon receiving them, the pillowcases are a slightly lighter shade of pink than the so called matching duvet cover. In addition, the quality of the fabric is incredibly thin which is so disappointing for such an expensive brand. Emma Shipley has clearly put a lot of effort into the beautiful prints and is selling them at incredibly high prices but is capitalising by using the cheapest flimsiest possible fabrics. This is just so disappointing to rip customers off in this way. The products should be made a high quality high thread count fabric. I could buy the same low quality duvet on the high street in a supermarket and the quality would probably be better than the high price tag charged by Emma Shipley. If you care about the quality of your products and want to ensure customers receive high quality goods please address the incredibly poor quality of your items being sold. Lots of low rated reviews by your customers are saying the same thing about the items you are selling. POOR QUALITY!!! TOTAL RIP OFF!!

Hello Marge,

I'm so sorry to hear you were not happy with the quality of your bedding. We use 100% cotton with a 275 thread count to give a luxurious feel and look to our bedding. All of our duvets come with as a set and you are not able to purchase the duvet cover alone, so I'm not sure what you are referring to when you say you had to buy the pillowcases separately. If you could give me your order number and email address, I would be happy to assist you further in resolving this issue.

Wonderful products.

I bought one of the bird papers in blue to decorate a wall of a bedroom. I've papered many rooms over the years and was very happy with the quality of Emma Shipley. The room looks fabulous. Then bought place mats. Super quality.
So I've just purchased 3 of the large prints in my initials. Oh my the Internet images do not do them justice. The colours are absolutely fabulous. I had to touch them to convince myself they were not velvet or embossed. I love them. Worth the money for sure.

Not what I was expecting from Emma J Shipley

I ordered the Emma J Shipley Lost World velvet cosmetic bag. It arrived today and I was extremely disappointed with it. The pattern of the bag is very nice and it's exactly as it appears online. But the zip doesn't run smoothly. On top of that, it arrived in a plastic bag, inside a jiffy bag, and is very creased. No care whatsover with the packaging, and the item itself is just okay.

Hi Jane, Thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear you weren't happy with the quality of the zip. Our pieces go through multiple quality checks to ensure they are up to great standards for our customers. But I understand everyones expectations are different. It shouldn't normally arrive in a plastic bag as we do our best to protect our treasures before they get to you and try and use sustainable packaging where possible. I will look into this. If you would like a return or exchange please follow the link on our website to our returns portal. We hope we can exceed your expectations next time.

Fragrance free candle

I was given an Emma Shipley Kruger candle for my birthday. After burning it( with the door closed) for two hours, there was no fragrance whatsoever. I emailed customer services who replied to say that they were sorry to hear that I was disappointed. They then listed some of the constituent elements plus a description of who poured the wax and where they were during the process. I care not. To me, if there’s no fragrance then there’s no point to the candle.
In future, I shall stick with Trvdon candles which are amazing in every respect.

Hi David,

I'm so sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy the scent of the candle you were gifted. As I mentioned we do use high quality essential oils in our candles. But I understand scent is very personal. Our customer service team did their best to assist you in a solution. However as you mentioned it was gifted to you there was no way in which we could offer you a return or exchange unless this was returned to the original gifter. I hope we can help assist you in the future.

Overpriced poor quality bedding.

Overpriced poor quality bedding. Duvets are super expensive for very poor quality cotton fabric that is very thin and flimsy. Matching pillow cases are to be bought seperately rather than part of a duvet set as is mostly the case when buying a duvet set. Pillow cases are a slightly different shade of pink despite it supposed to match the duvet I bought. I would not recommend this brand due to the poor quality fabrics used.

Hi Marge,

I am so sorry you were not satisfied with the quality of our bedding. We have now actually changed bedding suppliers which are of a much higher quality which also come with the pillow cushions! We currently have 2 designs available in the new and improved versions, (Lynx and Odyssey) with more to come in the New Year.

You are more than welcome to send back the duvet cover as long as it's not used, and get a full refund, or exchange it for our new style which I am sure you will love.

Best Wishes,

EJS
