Velvet Olive was started in a little flat in Tunbridge Wells, Kent in July 2004. At first it was just Kathryn designing and making all the cards whilst holding down a full time job, soon she was able to concentrate fully on Velvet Olive and slowly grew the company focusing on design-led greetings cards.
Kathryn has always been inspired by architecture and typography since studying graphic design in her college years, and has always liked to bring a different inspiration to each range created so that we can cater for all our customers design needs.

The company today is no longer run from the little flat in Tunbridge Wells and now has more space, more staff and more products with more exciting designs being launched as often as is physically possible!
Since Velvet Olive started we have always enjoyed the loyalty of our customers and for this we are always grateful and hope never to let you down, happy shopping!
