Farewell Famille Summerbelle

Big News: Famille Summerbelle Is Closing Down 💛

After 17 wonderful years, I’ve made the big decision to close my brand, Famille Summerbelle.

It’s never easy to say goodbye to something you’ve poured your heart into, but it feels like the right time for me to turn the page. I’m excited to focus fully on my art and explore new collaborations under my own name: Julie Marabelle.

Seventeen Years of Creativity, Family, and Growth

When I started Famille Summerbelle back in 2008, just after the birth of my daughter, I had no idea where it would lead. Seventeen years later, I’ve had the chance to work with wonderful people, sell my work all around the world, and grow a creative business while raising three kids across four different countries.

It’s been quite a journey, happy, stressful, messy at times, but always full of creativity and meaning, just like family life!

Famille Summerbelle has been part of my heart for so long. Through it, I’ve learned so much, grown as an artist and designer, and connected with an incredible community of people who have supported my work from day one.

Thank You, From the Bottom of My Heart

Most of all, I’m deeply grateful to you my wonderful community, for your kindness, loyalty, and encouragement throughout the years.
Knowing that my work has brought joy into your homes means the world to me.

Each order, message, and story you’ve shared has reminded me why I started this journey in the first place: to create meaningful art that brings a smile and a sense of connection.

One Last Chance to Shop

Before I close, I’d really love your help to give Famille Summerbelle the warmest send-off.

🛍️ Everything must go!

Many favourites, especially the paper-cut maps, are now low in stock, and much of the collection is on sale.

If you’ve been meaning to treat yourself or find a special gift, now’s the perfect time. Every piece holds a bit of my creative story, and it makes me so happy to know they’ll continue to find new homes.

What’s Next

This isn’t goodbye, just a new beginning!

I’ll keep sharing my creative journey, new artworks, and behind-the-scenes moments on Instagram and share my inspiration on Pinterest, so please stick around!

And if you think a friend or family member might love Famille Summerbelle, I’d be so happy if you shared this post with them. It means so much to know that my work will continue to bring joy to new homes.

Thank you for 17 beautiful years of creativity, connection, and support.
Change feels good — I’m energised and inspired for this next chapter.

With love,
Julie x
