Elle Crée
Brand · Paper goods
Elle Crée – or “she creates” in French – produces artist-quality paint-by-number kits that foster creativity and self-care! Our company was founded by Portland illustrator Rachel Austen in late 2016 out of her desire to create a nostalgic product from her illustrations that customers could interact with and that would spur their own creativity. Her kits feature a diverse array of subject matter, including still lifes, botanicals, and inspirational history-makers! Kits may be purchased online or in-store at over 500 retailers across the United States.
Elle Crée seeks to reduce our impact on the environment by carefully sourcing components that are eco-friendly and locally made. Our custom paint colors are mixed by hand from non-toxic USA-made acrylic, and our kits are assembled with the help of a small staff in Portland, Oregon. We strive for green business practices in our workplace and as close to zero waste as possible. As well as being an eco-friendly brand we’re also committed to being an organization of diversity, inclusion, and most importantly inspiration for budding artists everywhere.
Elle Crée supports relevant causes which enhance our mission by donating 5% of net profits to social and environmental causes.
