About Bashful Designs
Meet The Creator
Hi everyone!
I’m Elena Kelly, the Owner and Designer at Bashful Designs. I’ve always believed that earrings are your perfect, non-judgy fashion BFF because they inspire fun and creativity free from constraints like body type or fit – something I’ve battled with from time to time, and I’m sure many of you have, too. With all our unique lines and curves, real bodies don’t always fit into standard sizes, after all. I also love the power of fashion to help us challenge age- and gender-related norms and stereotypes.
Freedom of expression is the name of our game. I hope our earrings inspire you to let your true selves shine!
Fashion is art. It’s also fun. And we say it’s time to play!
Our name was inspired by my son and his beloved toy dinosaur, Bashful. He’s a shy guy, but never afraid to be himself while he explores through creative play.
We’re on a mission to bring fun and creativity into people’s lives through bold earrings that help you make a statement about who you are and how you want to be perceived. We use colour and quirky designs to inspire your playful exploration.
Our earrings are the everyday accessory for every you – whether you’re bashful or bold, or both! Wherever you fit on that spectrum… Express yourself. Your way.
You do you, boo.
We champion profound acceptance of self and others, designing for the fashion world we want to see – where everyone can embody their true selves with confidence.
Colour outside the lines.
Fun
