About us

Unique, colorful and fair

During a holiday in Thailand, the eye of founder and owner Luc Clement fell on a beautiful string of lights with cotton balls on it, the first seed was planned. Upon returning home, he started researching the market and soon decided to visit Thailand again (2010) and our Fairtrade certified production facility, called Fairtrade ChiangMai, was established.

''Cotton Ball Lights is therefore the only Fair Trade certified company that produces Cotton Balls. We are proud of that!''

Subsequently, our distribution center in the Netherlands in Breda was set up and all our domestic and foreign customers are provided with beautiful interior lighting, exterior lighting and home accessories.

''In the recent years, Cotton Ball Lights has become the European market leader of all Cotton Balls"'

Thousands of Cotton Balls are made every day in our Fairtrade factory. Cotton Ball Lights has become the European Cotton Ball market leader and has expanded its product range with outdoor outdoor cotton balls, Patio string lights,book lamps, letter boards  and kraft paper rollers.

Do you want to know how and in which circumstances our Cotton Balls are made? See our Fair Trade page with a beautiful video and more.
