Should you be interested, our splendid Ernest rechargeable lamp is named after Shackleton...and not Hemingway. Our thought was that this dainty and perfectly portable beauty would have lifted, improved and, perhaps, illuminated his death-defying adventure in the South Seas.

Our ever-portable Ernest now features our clever Genesis light cell, no need to charge the whole lamp, just swap the cell with a fully charged spare so you’re never without light!

A soft cotton shade finely striped and neatly gathered. Great for adding subtle colour and we think they are really quite...sweet.
