The story behind Ark Colour Design
BRITISH BORN AND MADE




ARK COLOUR DESIGN
Founders Jane Richards and Amy Lindsay started Ark Colour Design in 2015 creating fun and colourful cards and gifts that are both affordable and well made. Drawing from backgrounds in fashion and fine art, the duo find many different things that inspire their products - it could be a child's drawing, a poster seen in the street or even simply scribbles on paper!
Jane & Amy developed their own unique and quirky twist for Ark, letting their imaginations run wild to make sure every individual product stood out with humour, good fun, metallic foils and, above all, colour!
Ark's purses, bags and key fobs are made from high quality leather sourced from the UK and Ireland. The leather is processed and dyed by a small, family-run business at its on-site tannery based just outside Glasgow. It's then cut and finished to Ark's designs by hand using a heat press to add additional colours and shiny foil highlights. The girls have built up a great relationship with Paul, who must often have a good chuckle to himself at the fun designs!
During April 2021 Ark moved from it's small premises in Cambridge to a 200 year old renovated barn based in a little rural village called Waterbeach, just north of Cambridge. Having more space, Ark had the room to house its very own cutting press enabling the all-female team to cut their very own leather and paper, something they were extremely excited about!
With colour and fun being the backbone of Ark, you will often see the team on a Wednesday dressing up in their favourite shade of the week - here's Green Week to celebrate its plastic free ethos - we love the expression on Dudley the dog's face!
There is just something about the products from Ark that makes you smile - and we all need a bit of that especially in a purse or keyring which is with you all the time! I do enjoy working with true creatives and Jane and Amy from Ark can certainly be called that!

Green Tulip Founder
I have been shopping with green Tulip for over 8 years !! It has made shopping for the home and many gifts a pleasure and what is really important to me is that we are supporting small businesses and all the goods are ethically sourced. The products are also just a little bit different which I love and I have had many a comment on the products.
The deliveries are really carefully packed, delivery is swift and very good communication.
Thank you to Green Tulip and I am sure I will be ordering again!
I’m very pleased with Green Tulip’s items, detailed information, prices, order processing, dispatch and delivery. Thank you.
I was after a number of these poo bag dispensers as I find them well made and a good size and was very pleased to find them with Green Tulip at a good price. Swiftly delivered for a reasonable price, thanks.
