Where Retro Rebels Meet Modern Minds

Welcome to Retroland in technicolour! A world where retro aesthetics collide with modern living … of bold colours, vintage vibes, and timeless design.

With a passion for Mid-Century Design and Rockabilly culture, we create functional and stylish homewares & accessories that capture the essence of these iconic eras. Our pieces are designed to be both cherished and enjoyed, providing a unique way to incorporate vintage aesthetics into your modern lifestyle.

So whether you're a Groovy Guru channelling the 70s, a Modern Mid-Century Enthusiast embracing clean lines, a Rebellious Retrospect rocking a 50’s pin-up vibe, or a Maximalist Eclectic Collector looking for vibrant colour & patterns, you've come to the right place!

We are also firm believers that our surroundings have a profound influence on our mood and quality of life. We believe that vibrant hues and bold designs have the ability to uplift our spirits and create a more joyful and fulfilling life. Our designs are more than just objects; they are a celebration of colour, pattern, and the power of self-expression.

Who are we?

Inkabilly started out in 2010 as husband-and-wife team Lee & Karl, and together we screen-printed our way into the small business world! 

We both brought a kaleidoscope of creative skills to the table; Lee had been working as an Art Director in TV & Theatre for the last 12 years, while exhibiting & selling her artwork both in the UK and internationally. Karl had been working in IT & professional printing, while tattooing & building custom motorbikes.

Things have changed quite a bit over the years, we now have a little family and Karl has stepped back from the majority of jobs ... but he still injects an essential rock-n-roll spirit!

From our home studio in Bristol, UK, Lee now designs Inkabilly products with a commitment to sustainability and ethical practices. By focusing on made-to-order production, we minimise waste and offer a more personalised experience. Lee loves working closely with customers to create unique pieces that perfectly complement their home decor or make thoughtful, one-of-a-kind gifts.

Lee also takes care of ‘front of house’... It's Lee who prints and packs every order and who will take care of you when you place an order, get in touch, or connect via our social media.

 

Quality, sustainability, and a whole lot of love

We pour our hearts into every piece. We use eco-friendly materials and processes whenever possible, and recycle everything we can. We also treat our customers like our friends, offering a personalised service, with a genuine passion for what we do. You can read more about our ethics and how they inform our production processes here.
