Description
Leafy Slate is 100% Sanderson cotton: a soft slate blue-grey ground with a small scattered leaf motif. The slate is warmer than a plain grey, and the leaves add enough interest to keep the shade from being a single flat colour.
Made by hand in our Sandton studio on a hardback frame. I use this shade in sitting rooms, studies, and quiet bedrooms. Anywhere you want the shade to add character without asking the room to notice.
The Beaumont bobbin in natural wood is my go-to pairing for Leafy Slate. The honey tones of the wood balance the cool slate quietly. Or in Emberstone for a warm-cool complementary look.
Add a touch of elegance to your space with this gathered lampshade adorned with a beautiful cotton fabric in slate with vibrant leaf motifs.
This gathered lampshade is made of 100% cotton fabric from Sanderson.
Made in Sandton
Every lampshade is cut, pleated, and bound by hand in our small Sandton studio, one piece at a time. Shipped countrywide via The Courier Guy, in packaging designed to keep the shade shape intact through delivery.
Style this shade with our Beaumont bobbin lampstand — hand-turned on a lathe from solid South African Saligna by a local wood turner, then finished in one of three signature colours: Mistbound, Heritage Green, or Emberstone.

Common questions
What lampshade fitter do your shades take?
All Enclave lampshades come with a standard ES (E27) ring fitting that suits most bedside, table and floor lamps in South Africa. If your lamp has a bulb-clip fitter or a European B22 socket, let me know when you order — I can adapt the fitting for you at no extra cost.
Are your shades hardback or softback?
Hardback. Every Enclave shade is bound onto a rigid polystyrene laminate frame — that’s what stops the pleats slumping in humid Joburg summers or coastal weather, and it’s what gives the shade its clean silhouette year after year.
How do I care for my lampshade?
Dust it gently with a soft brush or the brush attachment on your vacuum on low suction, roughly once a month. For a mark or smudge, dab with a barely-damp white cloth — never soak the fabric. Kept away from direct sunlight, an Enclave shade should look as considered ten years from now as the day it arrived.
Can I order a custom lampshade?
Yes. I take commissions in your choice of fabric, colour and size — either from a Sanderson or block-print I already work with, or from a fabric you supply. WhatsApp me on 084 509 5892 with the base you’re pairing it to and I’ll come back with proportions and a quote.
Do you ship nationwide in South Africa?
Yes — every order ships via The Courier Guy, boxed and cushioned so it arrives the way it left the studio. Standard lead time is 3-5 working days from Johannesburg to major centres, and 5-7 to smaller towns. You’ll get a tracking link the moment the parcel is picked up.
Where is Enclave Decor based?
We’re a small handmade lighting studio in Sandton, Johannesburg. Every shade is gathered and bound by hand in our workshop, and the bobbins for our lamp bases are hand-turned by a local South African wood turner, and we do the sanding, colour, wiring and assembly in the studio.
