Hi, I’m Patti — founder and designer of The House of ELU in Adelaide. I turned my love for sewing into a purpose-driven children’s clothing brand after becoming a mum. From design to daily operations, I create meaningful, lasting pieces with care and intention. When you choose ELU, you support a small, slow-fashion studio where every detail is crafted with love.
