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.

Exsinct wallpaper from Emma Shipley

I ordered some wallpaper from Emma Shipley. It came promptly all packaged well and all with the same batch number on the rolls. It went up a treat and looks amazing and is very good quality. I can not fault the paper or the service.

Another dramatic entrance.

Once again, wallpaper from the Emma Shipley range has been chosen by my daughter to go along with the almost Zany range of fabrics that she has used in the refurbishment of her 200 ish year old cottage. Two cottages knocked into one many years ago, and no wall in the house straight.

I have man-handled the Kruger wallpaper that she chose this time to a degree that most wallpapers would have been in shreds, but not this one. Around angled sloping ceilings, ducking down to be woven almost around a tiny window, and then back again underneath the window cill to a Dado rail beneath - it has withstood all the wetting and re-wetting whilst I managed all these contours and I can only once again commend the quality of the wallpaper manufacturer. The design speaks for itself. It looks absolutely STUNNING, even now - and even though I have once again run out of paper for the the last two short lengths.

Beautiful Designs and Quality Products

We bought the place mats and coasters because they matched our new dining table and dinner service. We picked three different designs to mix and match and absolutely love the colours and designs. Such good quality product that 5 years on and plenty of use every day they are still good as new and we get so many compliments on them.

Stunning Cushions! It took me a long time to find cushions…

It took me a long time to find cushions for my sitting area because I didn’t want them to match or be cookie cutter. I am thrilled with my EJS cushions! They are the perfect pop of vibrant colors, a luxurious fabric and each one a unique individual piece of art!

Excellent - 4.5 stars overall!

4.5 stars technically but couldn't quite justify knocking down their score.

Firstly, their customer service is excellent. Really helpful about how best to hang the wallpaper etc. I'd say the quality of the wallpaper is 4*.

I also have their chair. Fabric is beautiful, love the chair but wouldn't warrant the price tag again as it wasn't the best fitting fabric on the chair, arrived wrinkly in places but managed to tidy it up and it really looks fab! Would recommend if you have time to get the fabric and reupholster a chair instead.

But their entire range is stunning. There's nothing else that can dupe this on the market without being tacky and cheap. In fact, I keep having to justify the fact I don't NEED half the stuff you have online. But I want it!

Excellent quality, amazing customer service... more companies should follow their lead

I ordered a mixture of 8 placemats which were delivered fairly quickly and are of great quality and design, love them! However, two of the placemats were slightly damaged, so I started the return process which was a pretty straightforward process. I dropped off the return parcel at a DHL drop-off point and followed up a couple of days later with DHL to track the return.

Nonetheless, I couldn't track it on their systems so a week later I pop into the drop-off point and my parcel was still there. Despite this, I emailed EJS customer service, and Magdalena, Helpful EJS Fairy responded and arranged a Royal Mail return instead and emailed the QR code. I dropped it off at the post office and followed up by emailing the receipt to them.

Throughout this whole process, EJS has been amazing customer service-wise, and can not fault their processes.

keep up the good work!

I wish more companies were like this, then we wouldn't really need Trustpilot.

Best quality - best Customer Service

First order - great experience: rapid shipping, radiant colours and breathtakingly detailed design, amazing softness of the fabrics. Your wonderful velvet fabrics turned my old armchair into a blissful dream. More projects to come. Second order: a misunderstanding in my order was solved so promptly and so nicely! Both Customer service and products are just fantastic!

Solved my missing jigsaw piece!

I ordered the 10 year anniversary jigsaw puzzle (loved the colours and thought it would make a great piece of wall art). It took me a small while but I managed to put it together but had a bit of a disaster where I had found that the dog had chewed up the final missing piece. I emailed the team to see if there was anyway that I could pay a fee to get the missing piece or if there was anything that I could do. They went above and beyond and are sending me out a complete new puzzle so that I can have a complete one. Completely made my day and really didn't expect them to do this. The puzzle if lovely, and the customer service team are amazing. Thank you sooo much team EJS!

This wallpaper is absolutely gorgeous

This wallpaper is absolutely gorgeous. I struggled a bit to get it up as it was my first time installing wallpaper, so I needed to order more. Magdalena helped me get just what I needed to match the rolls I already had. I was blown away by the service at Emma Shipley. Truly exceptional products and even better people to work with. Thank you, Magdalena!

Super products and even better customer responsiveness

The EJS products are as beautiful as you would expect--lovely to have or give as gifts. I had a disappointing problem with my order that had NOTHING to do with EJS but was due to shipper and weather problems. Magdalena was exceedingly responsive and quick to get it resolved. Excellent service even after the sale.
