Cable & Cotton is a UK based business which has taken note of demand in the USA for our handmade ethically produced product so we are pleased to supply our US customers from our new base in Los Angeles.

This decorative and simple lighting product allows you to be creative in the choice of colour used – it’s a fully customisable way to bring light, colour, fun and style to any home.

The ‘Cable’ aspect of our product is a string of 20 bulbs (length of lamps 56″) which is available in either white or brown (white best for lighter colours, brown for darker). Our US version is sold in strings of 20 lamps which can be linked together to form up to 100 bulb length lights. There is a 40″ extension cable with every set of lights so you have some room to play with from the plug socket to the first bulb.

The handicraft method of wrapping thread around a balloon with a special mix including natural gum and then leaving them to dry before removing the balloon gives every ball a beautiful unique quality. See this video to get an idea of the process.

An added advantage to our string lights is that if one bulb does fuse, the remaining lights stay lit, making it quick and easy to locate and change it with one of the provided replacement bulbs.

Each order arrives in a cool packaging box, along with the string lights and an instruction leaflet. Because it doesn’t come pre-assembled you can choose the order of the colours, so it really is your own design!

And, as orders are sent out using the best available courier service for your postal region.

Our Site

Our site really couldn’t be simpler to use. There are two main sections to help you create and choose the perfect light combination.

The Pre-selected page offers a selection of popular colour combinations, which come in either 20, 40 or 60 lights. From bright to neutral pre-selected colour ways, this is the quickest way to buy the perfect string lights for your home.

The Pick Your Own page is even better, offering all our customers the chance to design and create their own indoor lights. You simply choose the colour of cable you’d like, then the number of light bulbs. Next select and de-select on the colours you like the look of, and a live image of the colours chosen appears on the page so you know exactly how the colours look together. Once you’re happy, just click ‘Buy’ and you’re taken to the secure Paypal checkout facility.

If you’d like a different colour combination (our colour selector mixes all the colours you choose evenly) then just e-mail us to let us know the colours you’d like and exact numbers of each, and we will contact you to confirm and take payment.

Our Ethics

Our string lights are hand-made by skilled Thai workers, and in buying our decorative lights, you are helping to support an entire community of women in a remote southern region of Thailand.

We take pride in their working conditions, where their environment is in the fresh, open air. Set up with the help of the Thai government to help destitute women find work, Cable & Cotton not only offers employment, but are also helping to equip the local school.

We only use natural, hand-dyed cotton and natural gum, and each and every light is hand-made. So with Cable & Cotton’s decorative lighting, you can give your home and your heart that feel good factor!
