Introduction to Contrado wholesale accounts

Contrado is an aspirational fashion, home, and lifestyle brand. We've been helping talented designers turn creative visions into high quality products, since 2002. All our products are handmade to order in our West London facility. Our design, product development, customer service, marketing and production teams are all under one roof, making us a unique production resource who can turn your ideas into products very quickly.

As we create each item to order, we can offer discounts to resellers on fabric print or fashion and homeware products with no minimum orders. We specialise in short print runs; we create each product, by hand, one at a time. This means the products we produce are as unique as the art and designs of the creative business owners we collaborate with.

Having a Contrado wholesale account means you can get the best pricing when buying in bulk for resale. You can design your products online and save your designs to your product catalogue, we have over 250 product and 100+ fabrics to choose from. Our model is ideal for small creative businesses and independent creatives who are looking for high quality, premium products and don't want to manage large inventories or commit to longer print runs.

Who is eligible for wholesale discounts?
- Creative businesses and independent artists or designers who have print designs ready to upload and start creating a product line.
- Designers who are a place to sell, whether it's your own website, a regular market stall, events, exhibitions, trade shows, a store on another online marketplace, or a bricks and mortar shop. With a wholesale account you'll get the best pricing on your stock.
- We support emerging and established designers whose work will print well using our production methods, so would love to see your design work before opening an account.
We want to support as many designers and creative businesses as possible. As we grow we can support a larger community of wholesalers. You can sign up for an account here.

Please note that you will only be able to have either a wholesale account or a student account. Signing up for the other will cancel the one that you already have.
What discount does each product get?

Discounts increase in tiers, based on the number and the type of finished products (from our clothing or homeware sections) in the order.
- 1 - 10 products: up to 20% discount
- 11 - 20 products: up to 20% discount
- 21 - 49 products: up to 20% discount
- 50 + products: up to 25% discount
Note that some products are capped at a maximum of 20% and 30% respectively.

You can find a full list of all our products and their respective wholesale discount tiers in the 'Discounts' section of your account.
Items such as large furniture and suitcases do not count towards the above tiers, they are discounted at a flat rate due to the cost of shipping. You’ll receive 20% discount on an order of a single and multiple items.

Fabric printing is discounted at 20% off our standard pricing, which includes automatic discounts based on how many square metres are in the basket. For pricing breakdown for each fabric, see the discounts section on each fabric page.

You can mix and match any number of designs, sizes, and products; you don’t need to order 10 of the same items to qualify for the next tier.

When you’re logged in to your wholesale account, discounts will automatically apply when you add your products to your basket.

A few products are not included in the wholesale discount system: items under £15, fabric swatch packs and test prints.

For large orders production times can be extended. Please contact us before placing your order if you have a specific deadline.
How do the discounts work?
- Once you're set up with a wholesale account, discounts are applied automatically to all products you design, whilst you are logged in to your account.
- You can mix and match any number of designs, sizes, and products; you don’t need to order multiples of the same product, design or size to qualify for the next tier.
