Our Story

The Ellis Sisters began with a mother's simple idea: every woman deserves to feel like herself, not like everyone else. In 1999, Margaret Ellis opened a small shop in Melbourne with nothing more than a rack of clothes and that belief. Her daughters, Sarah and Emma, grew up between the racks, folding jumpers after school and learning that a good fit is only half the story, the other half is how a woman feels when she looks in the mirror.

Rooted in the spirit of Melbourne, one of Australia's great fashion cities, The Ellis Sisters brings together carefully chosen pieces that reflect the warmth and confidence of the women who wear them. From polished everyday staples to effortless weekend looks, our pieces are designed to move seamlessly through every part of a woman's day.

What We Stand For

At The Ellis Sisters, we believe great style should never feel complicated. Our collections are thoughtfully chosen to offer versatility, quality, and understated elegance, pieces that feel as good as they look. We are family owned, proudly Melbourne, and committed to offering clothing that flatters, empowers, and endures beyond fleeting trends.

Quality You Can Trust

From the fabrics we choose to the finishes we demand, quality has been at the heart of everything we do since 1999. Every piece in our collection is selected with the same care Margaret put into that very first rack of clothes, ensuring our customers receive garments that not only look beautiful but are made to last.

Made for the Modern Australian Woman

We know the modern woman is many things at once, ambitious, creative, nurturing, bold. Our collections are designed to reflect that complexity. Whether you are dressing for a busy morning, a weekend catch up, or an evening out, The Ellis Sisters has a piece made for the moment, chosen by two sisters who are those women too.

A Shopping Experience You Can Rely On

We are dedicated to providing a seamless, trustworthy shopping experience from the moment you visit our website to the moment your order arrives at your door, family owned in Melbourne since day one. Our customer care team is always on hand to help. You can reach us at info@theellissisters.com.

Looking Ahead

Almost three decades later, those girls are grown women themselves, and they still run the same shop their mother built. As we grow, our commitment to our customers, to quality, and to celebrating Australian women's style remains unchanged. We invite you to be part of our family.
