Get to know the Sour Cherry staff

We've grown a lot in the last few years, from 2022 to 2024 we've opened a second store, moved into a bigger office and employed over 10 members of staff


Get to know us! I've asked everyone at Sour Cherry for their favourite piece of jewellery, a fun fact about themselves (It gave us all school flashbacks) and a hot take ... some of them are very controversial 👀

Hey! I'm Ellie, I've worked at Sour Cherry since 2021. I started working in the shops on Saturdays (and in the week when needed), and then after I finished my undergrad I began working full-time in social media. Now I've started my master's in PR, I run our  TikTok  page and write our  blogs.
