After 16 brilliant years, we’re closing our doors.

Our journey has been challenging but brilliant, and challenging is how we always wanted it to be. From day one, we set out to be a challenger; we founded skinflint on a mission to challenge the status quo. We existed to defy the norms of the lighting sector and become a proven alternative to modern-day disposable lighting choices. And even in the trickiest of hours, even though it was even more challenging than we envisaged, we stuck to it. 

We worked sustainably, responsibly, sourcing, salvaging, saving and stopping over 50,000 vintage lights from going to landfill. We became a B Corp, worked with brilliant brands, fantastic influencers and a team of staff and suppliers that shared in our vision. And for that, we’re really proud, and really grateful.

So whilst our doors may be closed, we leave a legacy of illuminated lights that are switched on from London and New York, to Sydney and San Francisco, ready to inspire the next generation of challengers, to put people and planet above profit and make business a force for good. 

Thank you for all your support, team skinflint
