Our story
We buy the way we would want to be sold to
This started as a buying desk, not a marketplace. We were the people on the other side of the email, waiting three days for a price that did not hold and a sample that did not match production.
So we built the opposite: a tight range, quoted per item, sampled from stock, and photographed on one set. Nine categories, edited down to what actually sells — nothing listed just to make the catalog look bigger.
If we would not put it in our own shop, it does not go in the catalog.

How we work
Four rules we do not bend
No matter how good the margin looks.
Small MOQs first
Test a line without committing a container. Minimums are quoted per item, not per pallet.
One shipment, one invoice
We consolidate across workshops, so you are not chasing five forwarders for one order.
A named buyer
One person owns your account from first brief to arrival, and answers in your time zone.

Who you work with
A small team, on purpose
Four desks, no account-manager relay. The person who quotes you is the person who checks the carton.
Buying desk
Selection & quotations
Shortlists, pricing and the answer to “can this be made in another finish?”
Quality & QC
Inspection before shipment
Pre-production samples, AQL checks and photo reports from the line.
Logistics desk
Consolidation & export docs
One booking across workshops, plus customs paperwork and tracking to arrival.
Studio
In-house photography
Every item shot on the same set, so your storefront looks like one store.
Before you ask
Questions buyers send us first
Something not covered here? Send the item link and your target price — we answer within one business day.
What is the minimum order?
It is quoted per item and shown on every product card. Most stock lines start low so you can test a range before committing to a full production run.
Can I order samples before buying stock?
Yes. Sample orders ship within about 48 hours from our warehouse, and the cost is credited against your first bulk order.
How long does production take?
Stock items leave in days; made-to-order runs usually need 20–35 days depending on material and finishing. We confirm the date in writing before you pay.
Do you handle shipping and customs?
We consolidate across workshops and can quote door-to-door freight with export documents included. You get one shipment and one invoice.
Can you make a private-label version?
For most lines, yes — custom colour, logo and packaging. Send the spec and target quantity and we will come back with tooling costs and lead time.
