“When you buy something made by a person, there is something special there, and you do feel it. The consciousness with which a thing is made is often more important than the thing itself.”
About ERF Creations
ERF Creations is a family run business located in Bolwarra, near Portland in Victoria, Australia.
We create handmade, one of a kind products ranging from Leather Accessories, Visual Art and Sculptures, and Apothecary and Aromatherapy products for both people and pets.
ERF Creations was established in 2015. Over the past decade, we have evolved our product range and manufacturing processes to have a friendlier effect on the planet. This includes phasing out new and custom leather hides and materials, and instead using recycled and upcycled leather that we bring back to life in our home studio.
Not only does this have several environment and ethical benefits, but helps to create a unique, innovative product that is of the same- and sometimes better- quality and design.
Another big change we have made recently is introducing an Apothecary and Aromatherapy range for people and pets, with each item designed by a qualified Clinical Aromatherapist.
Our Apothecary range includes natural, handmade products manufactured in small batches using ethically and eco-friendly ingredients.
For our animal lovers, we have a beautiful range of topical products coming soon for your dogs, cats, horses, livestock, and other pets.
And for us humans, a bespoke range of Aromatherapeutic Essential Oil Diffuser blends, Hydrosols, and Care Packs will be available to shop soon.
Emma, the creative mind behind ERF Creations, has recently completed her qualifications as a Clinical Aromatherapist for both people and animals. She also has qualifications in Naturopathy for Animals and Animal Husbandry, and is currently completing a Diploma in Cosmetic Science, and Veterinary Assistance.
Her passion for animals and all things creative is brought to life through ERF Creations.
100% Handmade
Love handmade? So does ERF.
Each item is 100% handmade, using no or minimal machine sewing and stitching, to ensure every inch of your product is perfect.
All visual art and sculptures have been painted and sculpted using hands and handheld tools.
Enjoy the feeling of knowing your product has been handmade with time, effort and love.
All Aromatherapy & Apothecary products have been handmade in our home based laboratory, focusing on small, controlled batches that don’t add to the ever-growing problem of fast-fashion and fast-manufacturing.
We use ingredients that are local, in season, or grown in our own chemical free garden. The majority of our active ingredients are infused ourselves, using scientific and traditional extraction methods.
