two friends, one studio

Meet the team.

The Suede Studio is Elva and Laura — two friends from Wicklow who got tired of watching brilliant small businesses look ordinary online.

Elva and Laura, founders of The Suede Studio
the studio

Small team.
Big standards.

One idea: your store and your content, made by the same people — so they actually match.

We answer our own phone, we shoot the content ourselves, and we build every store with our own hands. Small on purpose — it means your shop always has our full attention.

We're also the pairing that just makes sense. People treat ecommerce and content like two separate worlds — they're not. One brings people to your shop, the other makes the sale. We run both together, at pace, and we adapt as fast as the trends do.

say hello

The two of us.

Elva Mellett, co-founder of The Suede Studio

Elva

Co-founder

One half of The Suede Studio — a coffee in one hand, a plan in the other.

Elva's been in ecommerce for years, growing from running stores into operations, stock control and the clever AI bits — having studied Information & Communication Studies with Economics at UCD. She knows the kind of website people actually enjoy shopping on, and she builds exactly that.

Laura Callaghan, co-founder of The Suede Studio

Laura

Co-founder

The other half — a camera in one hand, sharp taste in the other. Nothing leaves the studio until it looks the part.

Laura's been creating content for years — starting in makeup and production, moving through fashion and ecommerce, and sharpening the craft at every step. She's the best trend radar in the room: she knows what people stop scrolling for, what they share and what they buy — and she makes content that does all three.
