Southern Counties boxer sets up gifts website

A Southern Counties boxer has set up her own online company that produces boxing and other sports-related gifts that she designs herself.

Former Eastbourne Boxing Club boxer Camille Obligis has set up artistesportive.com, which sells art prints, mugs, bags and water bottles.

She started out on the venture after using her skills to design the south coast club’s boxing posters.

“I got lots of great feedback from my posters and I thought that I should extend this skill to actually produce illustrations for people like me who are passionate about boxing and other sports,” she said.

“It is often very hard for someone who loves boxing, as well as things like weightlifting, running, judo, swimming to find a gift that ticks the right boxes.

“My aim is to make sure that you are represented in the sport that you love regardless of age and gender.

You can view her designs at http://artistesportive.com and on Instagram and Facebook, where news illustrations are displayed.
