I love hearing success stories of local businesses starting up from scratch and excelling in their niche area.

A few months ago I began seeing and hearing a buzz on twitter about a Bournemouth company called
el Rhey.
Me being a nosey moo wanted to learn more about them so started to look into them. I started chatting to the el Rhey team through twitter and finally met with the lovely Sophie, el Rheys PR a few weeks ago and had a lovely chat with her, learning more about the el Rhey brand, products and philosophy.
el Rhey is a specialist rain wear designer and wholesaler based on the South coast in Bournemouth. They supply creative and original rain wear collections that are only exclusively available through selected retailers.
The el Rhey team believe in the importance of encouraging creativity in children; all of their products are designed to bring joy whilst allowing children to develop their skills and future ambitions.
The first product of many to be launched are
ColourMe Wellies. The ColourMe Wellies allow your children to be fashion designers, artists, explorers and owners of the most beautiful and original wellies in the world.
The wellies come in two designs at present - a giant moth and zebra. These designs allow your children to colour and decorate to their hearts content. The sizes available at the moment are UK 9-12.5 ( EU 27-31)

Supplied with each pair of wellies are a selection of el Rhey`s art markers. They are permanent, non-toxic, acid and odour free with transparent ink which drys fast, The colour stays on the boot permanently but washes off skin with a little soap and warm water. The markers are dual nibbed with one broad nib for bulk colouring and a fine nib for delicate edging and detailing. Adding more layers of the colour to the boots will produce a more vibrant colour and variety of shades.
I absolutely love the whole idea of the ColourMe wellies and can`t wait to see what is next in the pipeline for
el Rhey.
The
ColourMe Wellies are being launched this October, perfect timing for all the great Autumn fun to be had in the falling leaves and muddy puddles!!
The amazing el Rhey team are offering one of you lucky readers the chance to be one of the first people to get your hands on a pair of these gorgeous wellies as soon as they are released.
