About elbo

Inspired by the beauty, drama and construction of period costume elbo designs fashion and accessories that brighten up every occasion. Taking her passion for colour and pattern, Emma juxtaposes her own exclusive range of digitally printed silk and cotton canvas with printed and vintage fabrics to create quirky and unusual pattern combinations.

The full product range consists of reversible handbags, tote bags, yoga mat bags, purses, scarves and limited edition clothing pieces.

Each item is handmade in their London based studio and only very small quantities and one off pieces are produced.

Elbo was set up in 2003 by textile and costume designer Emma Burton and has been acclaimed in publications such as Vogue.


Emma graduated from the Royal College of Art in 2001 where she gained an MA in constructed textiles after completing a fashion degree at Northumbria University. She has worked for Alexander McQueen and Deborah Milner and her textile designs have been sold to Alberta Ferretti and DNKY.
