£120.00 GBP

Dispatched from 7th October 2024

Continuing the marriage of fashion and interiors, edit58 x Smock London are thrilled to bring you our A/W 24 Collection of Ready-to-Wear, hand-smocked Lampshade Skirts. The latest collection features six new limited edition skirts, combining rich Autumnal fabrics with a new range of intricate hand smocked stitch motifs. As with our first collection, each design is available in two skirt sizes; Mini and Maxi.

This listing is for the Sky Blue Delphinium fabric shade, as pictured. Please use the drop down menu to select your lampshade skirt size. Other designs available here.

The Detail:

The ‘waistband’ of each fabric lampshade skirt is pleated and hand smocked by talented artisans in Vietnam in a cotton thread that allows the intricate design to stand out from the cotton fabric, creating both visual interest and an elasticated ‘waistband’ that holds the skirt shade in place. 

Each fabric lampshade skirt comes with a (optional) plain base shade (think of this as the petticoat to your skirt!), over which the lampshade skirt sits (and the ‘waistband’ grips onto). These are made bespoke for us by Alex at Munro & Kerr, using a Japanese Washi paper. The base shade comes with an interchangeable fitting so you can use your shade as a table lamp and/or as a Pendant shade (without needing to change the fitting, simply flip the fitting between the two settings) – so they are ‘ready to wear’ straightaway. If you prefer to purchase only the fabric skirt, with no base shade/light fitting for it to sit upon, please select 'fabric Skirt Shade only' from the drop down menu.
