Trade, wholesale & collaborations

We work with interior designers and clients to supply bespoke handmade lampshades for a range of settings, including hotels, bars and restaurants. We also handle private-label production for many designers who sell lampshades as part of their own collections. You’ll find our lampshades stocked in a number of stylish stores and boutiques in the UK and overseas.

We love to chat through creative ideas and can accommodate tight deadlines and far-flung destinations – we’re always up for a challenge! If you’d like to know more about working with us, please use the form below or email - hello@tinkerandtallulah.co.uk
