WELCOME TO CELO

CELO, meaning 'to hide or conceal' in latin, is a luxury brand which produces timeless and bespoke products. Inspired by the beauty of secret drawers and compartments in boxes and desks which were originally done by skilled artisans many years ago, Celo's products are in line with the idea of keeping those special possessions in something beautiful, that will last and is designed specifically for you.

Some of our products have hidden compartments, or drawers engaging mystery and suspense when opened. Inspired by these traditional craftsmen and the art deco movement, in terms of style and classic colours of Klein Blue and teal Celo's design aesthetic was found.

We juxtapose new ideas, making our boxes and products contemporary with old fashioned skilled workmanship with all our products being made entirely by hand here in the UK. Our products are designed together with our clients, whether it be an exceptional anniversary present or special occasion keepsake; your wish is our desire.

DESIGN PROCESS

All our products are bespoke, and the design journey begins with a consultation with Vinita Agarwal Teja. According to the client's wishes, our products are completely customisable from their depth, page number, colour and size to the material used for covering and binding. All items can then be embossed or initialed as per your request.

TESTIMONIALS

Please find below what some of our clients have to say about us

  • ” I’m utterly bowled over by Vinita’s attention to detail and passion for exquisite materials. The welcome book which features in our boutique retreat centre in Somerset has garnered as much attention as the house itself”

    Joanna

  • “I had my box custom made for a silver frame that was a present for a christening. The parents and child were both equally delighted with the beautifully engraved satin box. It is now being used as a keepsake box for special pieces of jewelry and trinkets. It was truly a meaningful and unique present that will be passed on through many generations.”

    Jackie

  • ” I ordered a ‘keepsake’ box personalised for my nephew, and gave it to my sister to treasure his memories as he grew older. She absolutely loved it, and also uses it as a showpiece because of its fine aesthetics and craftsmanship. Working with Vinita was a great experience. Her level of expertise combined with her creative vision resulted in an amazing final product. Thank you!!”

    Mahir

  • “Vinita helped me design a beautiful his and hers box that I commissioned as a wedding gift. It incorporated the family seals of the bride and groom, which was the ultimate personal touch. The couple has told us that it is the most heartfelt gift they have ever received and that it will be cherished and remain in the family for generations to come.”
