Ekhowley Co works with interior stylists, guesthouse owners and independent shops who need consistent homeware across rooms, seasons and repeat orders. Sample requests, bulk quantities and delivery schedules are handled directly with our trade desk.
Interior stylists, guesthouses and small retailers work with us differently than a walk-in buyer does. Below is what that actually involves, from sample handling to how a bulk order moves through the studio.
Ask for a stoneware mug, a cut length of the washed linen, or a swatch of the olive dye before placing a larger order. Samples ship from Cape Town and let you check the glaze speckle and weave against your own scheme.
Guesthouses fitting out twelve rooms, or a retailer restocking baskets for a season, can request quantities beyond the standard listing. We confirm lead time against the maker's current production run rather than a warehouse shelf.
Every listing carries size, material origin and care notes in plain language. That means you can lift the details straight into a client presentation or a guest information folder without rewriting them.
We work with the same small studios and cooperatives across repeat orders, so a mug set bought in March matches one bought in October. Useful when a project runs over several months.
Filter the range the way you actually specify: kitchen tools, textiles, woven storage, enamelware. No trend collections to sift through when you need six matching boards for a dining setting.
Orders ship nationwide, with consolidated dispatch for multi-item trade orders. If you are staging a property in Sea Point or supplying a Karoo guesthouse, we can time delivery to your install window.

Interior stylists, guesthouses and small retailers work with us differently than a walk-in buyer does. Here is what that actually looks like in practice.
Ask for a linen swatch, a glaze tile or a single basket before placing a full order. Samples ship within the week so you can check tone against the room or the client brief.
Guesthouses replacing chipped mugs or retailers restocking a shelf need the same maker, not a lookalike. We hold studio relationships so a second order matches the first.
Dimensions, material origin, care notes and the maker's name travel with each item. Useful when you are writing a client proposal or briefing a housekeeping team.
Twelve baskets for a guest wing or forty runners for a restaurant floor are handled case by case, with lead times confirmed against the studio's production schedule.
Consolidated shipments to Cape Town, Johannesburg and Durban, packed for fragile ceramics. We flag which pieces travel well and which are better collected in person.
Trade enquiries go to one person who knows your account, your previous orders and the studios involved. No call centre, no re-explaining the brief each time.
