So pleased with the images I had framed a year back that I am heading back soon to get a few more done even though there are framers nearer me. They did a wonderful job and I cant wait to get my new art pieces framed.

Absolutely great service from both Kit and Lucy. Lucy talked us through different options and helped us decide how to frame our prints. The turn around was really quick and communication excellent.

Definitely would recommend Elba Designs! I took 2 1960s psychedelic posters to be framed, only intending to frame one but was effortlessly encouraged to have both done Very pleased with the outcome, excellent quality and the staff are really nice. Great price too - far out!
