Where Retro Rebels Meet Modern Minds
Welcome to a world where retro aesthetics collide with modern living … of bold colours, vintage vibes, and timeless design. Forget dusty antiques, predictable décor and run-of-the-mill accessories, we love to see retro vibes dance with modern functionality, and individuality take centre stage. 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 Mad Men Modernist craving sophistication with a twist, we've got something to make your heart sing (and your home scream "wow!").
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.
Who are we? Inkabilly is husband-and-wife team Lee & Karl. Together, we have been designing and creating our vintage-inspired products in our Bristol studio, UK, since 2010.
Lee, the creative mastermind: With a design degree, and previous career in art direction for TV, film, and theatre, Lee brings a wealth of design experience and artistic flair to the table. Her keen eye for detail and love for vibrant colours and patterns infuse every product with personality. 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.
Karl, the multi-talented maestro: From printing and custom motorbikes, to tattooing and IT, Karl has a diverse skillset, and even if he is taking more of a back seat these days, he definitely tackles everything he does with an essential dash of rock and roll spirit!
