Welcome to Kitsch Republic!

Kitsch Republic was born from my desire to buy fun and functional products to brighten up my own home.  I started at vintage markets back in 2012, with a love for mid-century bright designs to bring some colour to my home and traded at these markets for several years with vintage homewares and also cushions and lampshades I had made myself.

From this original start, the business quickly evolved from a hobby in mid-century vintage, to creating and making a wide range of homewares and gifts after I was gifted a heat press which opened so many doors to my creativity.

Over a decade later since those first local markets, Kitsch Republic is a micro manufacturer of high quality homewares, where we specialise in printing fabric in our Stockport workshop and making sensational lampshades and cushions featuring our own fabulous and creative designs!

We also print and manufacturer  high quality coasters, worktop savers and cushions for lots of artists, especially in the Stockport area.

We love to try new ideas and designs, and welcome commissions if there is a lampshade or cushion you would really love but have never been able to find!
