Camille - the love child of many years fantasising about owning my own store and a midlife crisis. Throw in the worldwide pandemic of 2020 where every single part of daily life as we knew it was conducted online: medical appointments, funerals, schooling ...everything. Shopping online became a must but, in reality, was a dry and joyless experience. Pandemic over, I felt it was finally the right time and on the 11th of December 2021 we flung open our doors of our little boutique for the very first time.

​

Our vision....to create a space filled with pieces that anyone would be delighted to give or receive. To break free from the run-of-the mill conglomerates that proliferated the high street and the web searches and curate a collection that was unique, creative and thoughtful. Whether it's that special mug for your first delicious coffee of the day or a gift for someone just because you saw it and thought of them. 

​

"Camille" is my mum's family name. Mum or Najee as we call her was born in the Seychelles, a stunning archipelago of 115 idyllic islands scattered all over the Indian Ocean: 500 miles from their closest neighbour. Thanks to this seclusion, it's beaches and rainforests are virtually untouched, Frangipani scents the air and, wherever you look, you see simple beauty.

​

It is that which we wanted to recreate when Camille was conceived. A beautiful, simple, welcoming space with the emphasis on eco consciousness, sustainability and fairtrade: natural home scents, handcrafted products and carefully sourced pieces all pull together to complete this "little hidden gem" in the middle of Ewell, Surrey.
