About Poppekins

On Etsy since 2016

Custom illustrations and prints

Poppekins was born about 5 years ago, just after the arrival of my first little one. I designed her birth announcement and found that I really loved working on the illustrations.
I've always loved drawing, and after 18 years of working as a fashion designer it's so lovely to be illustrating again. As you can see, I absolutely love colour so I find creating the vibrant prints and family portraits such fun!
I offer ready made prints, cards and now also homeware, but also custom make birth announcements, party invites, portraits or just about anything!
Please have a look at my instagram for more work, and if you have a specific request just get in touch to discuss.
