About Us
We are Camellia, a company selling book related products in hopes to one day break the stigma around reading by making it more aesthetic. Our company is student-led and based in Dorset, run by a team of 10.As a company, we are committed to spreading the importance of reading because we value the many great experiences that can come from a good book. We are often going to various craft sales around the area, so you can expect to see us at all sorts of events - we hope to see you there one day, too!
Our Journey
Originally founded in February 2023 as a part of the Young Enterprise 10X challenge, Camellia has come a long way in the past year. Our members had enjoyed the experience so much that even after the 10X challenge had ended, the business continued operation over the summer by selling at local craft sales.Now, in 2024, Camellia is still going strong as we continue on to this year's Young Enterprise Company Programme. With the new year, our company has also undergone various changes such as a rebranding, a team expansion and an introduction of exciting new products.As a team, we've all learned so much about what it means to run a business and would highly recommend taking part in any of the various challenges listed on the Young Enterprise website here
Our Products

However, we ensure each of our bags is created with care and is quality checked. Our tote bags come in a variety of unique looks, all of which have been creatively designed by our production team. Whether you're at school, work, or just on an average day out, this tote bag will suit any occasion!
