Welcome to Contraband
Contraband is the noisy offspring of two Edinburgh friends with combined experience in their respective fields spanning over six decades.
Our work offers promotional product design, PR, marketing and consultancy services to SMEs looking to make an impact in a world overwhelmed by bland digital content.
As well as producing work for our loyal customers, you can find our unique designs in gift shops across Scotland and here in our online shop.
So, if you're a business looking for a boost or you're just trying to find a unique, hand-crafted gift, you've arrived in the right place - we hope you find something you didn't even know you were looking for.

about us...
At Contraband, we design and manufacture hand-crafted art works and promotional items at scale, using street art inspired colour schemes, creativity and healthy dose of Scottish humour to create fresh perspective.
Using skills acquired through 30 years of experience in PR, marketing engineering and product design, we create products and campaigns which help to bring attention to brands and inspiration to gift shop retailers.
Based in Edinburgh, our aim is to create a small, sustainable business which employs and trains young people and retains control of design, manufacture and distribution from the UK
