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 10,000 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!
Made In The Shade is currently accepting vendor applications for the 2nd annual Festive Shopping Weekender. Taking place at The Lighthouse, Glasgow on Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th December, this year's Christmas edition of the Made In The Shade Boutique Shopping Event is the answer to all your (self)/gifting needs!

Made In The Shade has had a fabulous time at The Maisonette this weekend! We are officially open! Come see us - upper floor, De Courcy's Arcade :) Posted at 7:37 PM Oct 31 view more
The Made In The Shade Maisonette is our new permanent, dynamic retail, gallery and social space dedicated to showcasing and promoting off-beat design, creativity and vintage lifestyle. The Maisonette, or 'little home', is a friendly hub of activity set in a friendly space in Glasgow's old-time indie shopping institution, De Courcy's Arcade on Cresswell Lane and will open on Friday 30th October 2009.
Not just a one-stop shop for all things handmade, unusual and beautiful, The Maisonette is also home to the Tiny Gallery AND to a fabulous program of creative and sociable get-togethers. From October 2009, the Made In The Shade gals will continue to conduct their event and agency work in The Maisonette too.
Although small and dinky, the vintage styled Made In The Shade Maisonette showcases work by directional Scottish designers, makers and artists and introduces the work of creatives from across the UK and beyond. Crossing disciplines, product categories and styles, the Maisonette offers customers the pick of handmade delights and vintage finds.
Who I'd like to meet: starlets, time-warp wives, makers, designers, vintage sellers, shoppers, store owners, buyers, bloggers, journalists, stylists, handmade lovers, vintage aficionados, rock'n'rollers, cowboys
