Life at Indespoke
Workshops, launches, makers on the floor and shelves that never look the same twice.
Workshops most weeks
Candle pouring, craft sessions and maker demos — you leave with the thing you made and usually a few new people to talk to.
The people behind the shelves
Our brands are in the shop, not just on it. Come in on the right day and you'll meet the person who made what you're holding.
Two floors of independent
Birmingham and Solihull. Shelves that change every week as brands join us and sell through.
Made here, sold here
Hand-poured candles, small-batch skincare, cards drawn by the person who prints them.
Worth the trip in
Plenty of what's on our shelves never makes it online. If you're nearby, come and have a look.

Why Indespoke
We exist to help independent makers get seen, stocked and taken seriously — starting with what you buy today.
Our storyINDESPOKE — BIRMINGHAM AND SOLIHULL
Get your brand on a real shelf.
Two shops in Birmingham and Solihull. Over 100 independent brands. Memberships from £15 a month.
Apply to joinWhat Indespoke is
We are a retail business, not a business support programme. We sell things.
Brands get physical shelf space in a staffed shop, plus a listing on indespoke.com.
You keep ownership of your stock until it sells, and we pay you monthly.
Choose how you trade
Retail Development
£70 per month, three-month term
Shelf space in one of our shops, merchandised and sold by our team, your products listed on indespoke.com, sales reporting.
20% commission on what we sell for you. Participation is required.
Featured Brand
£50 per week, three-month minimum
A dedicated branded bay rather than a shared shelf. You stock and merchandise it yourself. All sales through the Indespoke till, 10% transaction fee. No time on site required.
Shop Floor Residency
£30 per trading day, three-month minimum
You are present, selling your own products. Use your own card machine, or ours for a 10% administration fee.
Pop-Up Activation Days
£30 per day
Trade, launch, demo, sample or run a session for a day.
Studio Residency
£30 per day / £90 per day
£30 per day for the smaller room, £90 per day for the larger room. Your own space to run your business from.
We are not VAT registered, so there is no VAT to add to any of these fees.
What we ask of Retail Development members
A shelf on its own doesn't grow a brand — the work around it does. That's why participation is part of this membership rather than an optional extra.
