LONDON BLACK
A quieter kind of homeware supply chain.
You brief one team; we coordinate design, tooling, vendors, QC and freight behind the scenes. Homeware since 2006 — shipped to nearly 80 countries.
01 — The case
Most supply chains are stitched together.
Sourcing here, trading there, a factory somewhere else. Most buyers stitch these together across four vendors — and lose weeks in the handoffs.
Four vendors, one program
Each vendor optimizes for itself. Nobody owns the whole timeline — so nobody is accountable when it slips.
Weeks lost in handoffs
Every handoff is another chance for a spec to drift, a sample to go missing, a date to slip.
Compliance you can’t verify
Retail-grade social audits and third-party tested materials shouldn’t be an afterthought at the finish line.
02 — What we do
Three disciplines, one accountable partner.
We hold all three under one roof — so the handoffs disappear.
Beschaffung
Curated vendor network
Beyond our own factories we run a vetted supplier bench across China. When a program needs a material we don’t press ourselves — copper, verzinkter Draht, textile aprons and wine bags — we source, negotiate and consolidate it.
- Vendor scouting & qualification
- Price benchmarking
- Consolidated multi-supplier POs
Trading
Program orchestration
A 20-person service team averaging 7+ years in the category runs your program end-to-end: sample rounds, PO management, production tracking, inspection, documents and freight — one English-speaking counterpart per account.
- Merchandising & assortment build
- One-stop purchasing service
- Launch & marketing-plan support
Manufacturing
Owned factories
Stainless steel, aluminum and galvanized-wire plants across the Pearl River Delta. Owning the presses means owning the schedule — no broker markup, no priority conflict with a competitor’s PO.
- Injection, blowing, powder coating
- Stainless & anodized finishing
- Fully automated lines
03 — Proven Brand Development
We don’t just fill POs — we build brands.
Three house brands we took from blank page to sellable range — proof we can run the same playbook for your label.
Queenbar
queenbar.com
A bar-tool and drinkware line built on our own stainless and plating capability — positioned for the craft-cocktail buyer rather than the value bin.
- Range architecture & price laddering
- Proprietary finishes and tooling
- Retail-ready packaging and inserts
Bloomingware
Bloomingware.US
A softer homeware and tabletop line — kitchen tools and serveware — developed for the lifestyle and gifting aisles, where finish quality decides the sale.
- Seasonal collection development
- Multi-material sourcing & matching
- Gift-ready presentation packaging
KLP
klpsupplies.com · klpbarware.com

- Commercial barware collection development
- Material sourcing & finish matching
- Branded packaging & shelf-ready presentation
- Custom brand-marketing solutions
04 — The range
Category depth, not category-hopping.

Tumblers, bottles and stemware-ready platforms in 18/8 stainless, Tritan and glass.
