Cameroun's Jeannine Sike-Ngangue, at marché Bastille...
...and at Marché de la Porte de Vincennes.
- By personal contact. Jeannine made these lampshades on special order for me, for the same cost as that of an ordinary store.
Procedure: Email a photo of the spot where you will place the lampshade. Jeannine will rapidly send a proposal. You go on from there.

The stripes differ slightly on each side.
- By Internet, as Mali's Lamine Kouyaté couture for XULY.bët. Or by open house or appointment.
