Trade service
Dedicated Guidance
Personal Atelier contact, planning around quantity and timing, and guidance on the most suitable creation or format.
Formats considered case by case.
Trade & Partnerships
For selected stockists, hospitality businesses, event professionals and corporate gifting teams, The Date Atelier offers a considered way to work with the house. Each enquiry is handled personally, with attention to quantity, timing, presentation and the setting in which the creation will be received.
Trade relationships follow the same principles as the collection itself: restraint, precision and care in presentation. We consider the context first — how the creation will be displayed, served, gifted or presented — before determining the most appropriate format and approach.
The Atelier works within a limited production calendar. Trade requirements are considered against the allocation available for the requested period, allowing us to preserve the freshness, finish and presentation expected of the house.
A considered professional service
Trade relationships are approached with the same care as the creations themselves: personally, clearly and with close attention to the realities of each requirement.
From the first conversation, we consider timing, quantity, presentation and the setting in which the creation will be received.
Throughout, the same standards of freshness, finish and presentation are preserved.
Working with the atelier
Approved professional partners receive a considered level of guidance, supply and presentation support, shaped around the realities of each requirement and the setting in which the creation will be received.
Supply
Considered Supply
Trade pricing, seasonal and ongoing requirements, and larger quantities subject to production capacity.

BESPOKE & PRIVATE COMMISSIONS
A requirement considered as a whole
Some requirements call for more than quantity alone. Where appropriate, the Atelier can consider presentation adaptations, personal messages, event-specific finishing and selected commissioned details. Each proposal is shaped around what can be produced beautifully, consistently and within the standards of the house.
THE CREATIONS
Retail
Presented for selected stockists, with careful attention to display, format and the setting in which the collection is encountered.
THE CREATIONS
Hospitality
Considered for hotels, restaurants and private members’ spaces, from guest amenities to service and gifting moments.
THE CREATIONS
Professional Gifting
A refined way to recognise clients, colleagues and relationships, with presentation considered around the recipient and occasion.
THE CREATIONS
Corporate & Events
For events, private occasions and larger professional requirements, with quantity, timing and presentation planned as a whole.

FROM ENQUIRY TO DELIVERY
Clear at every stage
A professional order should feel considered, not bureaucratic. We keep the process simple and make the important details clear before anything is confirmed.
HOW IT WORKS
From enquiry to delivery
Each professional requirement moves through the Atelier in four considered stages, with the essential details agreed before production begins.
Enquire
Tell us the setting, timing and approximate requirement.
Shape
We shape format, availability, presentation and finishing around it.
Confirm
Quantity, price, timing and delivery are agreed.
Deliver
The order is prepared and released according to the confirmed plan.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a minimum trade quantity?
Minimum requirements vary according to the format, timing and nature of the enquiry. We consider each requirement individually before confirming what is appropriate.
How far in advance should we enquire?
We recommend enquiring as early as possible, particularly for seasonal periods, events, larger quantities or commissioned requirements. Availability is considered against the Atelier’s production calendar.
Can the Atelier support recurring supply?
Yes. Selected recurring requirements for retail and hospitality can be considered, subject to availability, production capacity and an agreed supply plan.
Can presentation be adapted for our requirement?
Personal messages and selected finishing details can be considered. Any adaptation is approached selectively so that the presentation remains consistent with the standards of the house.
Can you provide allergen, dietary and storage information?
Yes. Relevant product, allergen, dietary, storage and shelf-life information can be provided before an order is confirmed.
Can delivery be planned around an event or required date?
Where feasible, yes. Include the required date in your initial enquiry so that availability and delivery can be considered from the outset.
How are trade pricing and terms agreed?
Pricing and terms are considered according to quantity, format, timing and frequency of supply, and are confirmed directly with the Atelier before production begins.
When is availability secured?
Availability is secured only once the requirement has been agreed and confirmed by the Atelier. Submitting an enquiry does not reserve production allocation.
