The first event of its kind in Scotland and one of few outside the creative hustle and cool-cat bustle of London Town, the Made In The Shade boutique shopping event launched at The Lighthouse, Glasgow in May 2008.
Hosted by three creative indiepreneurs (Carrie Maclennan, Clare Nicolson & Suzanne Smith), Made In The Shade has quickly established itself as the indie shopping hub in Glasgow. Thus far, Made In The Shade has showcased the work of over 200 designers, makers and vintage lifestylists and attracted over 9000 visitors.
The event is unmistakably inspired by the styles and sounds of bygone eras. With a keenness for the tiny details and special elements that make an event memorable and successful, the Made In The Shade Gals pull out all the stops to present their cherished customers and fabulously talented vendors with a real seasonal treat!
Vendor applications are currently closed. To be notified when applications reopen for the Made In The Shade Homecoming event at The Lighthouse in September, contact Suzanne Smith at: madeintheshadebookings@gmail.com. Suzanne will add you to our vendor mailing list. Alternatively keep your peepers peeled on our website for news and updates.
