The shop

One lamp. One little duck. That's it.

A small shop does a few things properly instead of everything at once.

The hero piece

Ocean Wave Resin Lamp

A rolling ocean wave caught in resin — surfer, deep-blue water and a warm glow on a wooden base. The kind of light you leave on long after you meant to sleep.

Why this shop exists

It started with a vet bill.

Made by Charlie is run by Charlie — who has Down syndrome, and who'll tell you that's the least interesting thing about him. When his cat Millie got ill, the shop became his way of helping pay for her care. He chooses every piece, checks every order, and packs every box himself — usually with Millie supervising from the desk. She's getting better, slowly. Every order honestly helps.

— Charlie (and Millie, asleep on the desk)

  1. Chosen carefully

    Only pieces that fit the Made by Charlie feeling make it into the shop. Right now, that's two.

  2. Prepared by hand

    Every order is checked, wrapped and packed personally, usually within 3–7 days of ordering.

  3. Sent with a note

    A small handwritten thank-you goes into every early order. It matters that it feels like a person sent it.

You're early

The first orders get the best of us.

Made by Charlie is brand new — there are no reviews here yet, and we'd rather show you none than invent some. Early orders get a handwritten note from Charlie in the box, and if you share a photo of your lamp, it'll be one of the first we feature right here.

Optional, always

Tip Charlie's shop

Some people like to add a little extra to help Charlie's shop grow — and keep Millie in good care. Only if you want to. It changes nothing about your order.

Whole pounds, £1 to £500.
