Whigby?

Whigby is pattern and paper; eccentricity and authenticity; cheap cheeriness with a dash of cheekiness; lovely uncoated recycled broadsheets and perfect printing. Whigby adds to the pleasure of giving and receiving. Whigby is about concealment and revealment. Whigby is crisp, tailored, torn and tattered. Whigby is memorable, forgettable, timeless and ephemeral. Whigby is here to stay.

Smiley & Whigby

DateWednesday, March 10, 2010 at 7:47PM

Whigby is now represented by Sharon Smiley & Company in Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont. We are pleased to partner with Sharon who works with exceptional lines like Orla Keily and Poketo. While Whigby is the baby in the group, we're growing at quite a clip and certain that this new relationship will be profitable (at all levels) for both parties. Heading out for a quick getaway in Havana – be back next week with exciting news about a Museum of Art in Westchester County, New York that now carries Whigby. ABOVE: That's my dad, Frank Sr. and Todd's daughter Delphine back when we first started Whigby in early 2008. fv

The Posman Rings

DateSaturday, February 27, 2010 at 10:19AM

With fifty more to go, this is the first in an ongoing Whigby Reader series of updates letting you know where you can buy Whigby. We are pleased to count Posman Books (Chelsea Market location) as a new partner. This independent bookstore is a favorite stop whenever we're in town. The staff is knowledgeable and the selection is contemporary and discriminating. We can't wait to get back and browse the isles, which include books by McSweeney's, TOON Books and other Whigby favorites.

Whigby's Posters are Going, Going...

DateFriday, February 19, 2010 at 10:05AM

Six of the nine Curious Quotes posters from Whigby are now officially sold out! And there are just a few remaining of each of the three that we still have in stock. We're considering a limited reprint of some of the better sellers, but it's very unlikely that we'll reprint these three – get them here.

Booth, Whigby: 2010 (NYIGF)

DateSaturday, February 6, 2010 at 9:32AM

Two scenes from Whigby's first appearance at the New York International Gift Fair (above). The easel display on the order desk explained that our custom racks are sent in a standard FedEx tube along with a full rack of Whigby product (you choose) for as little as $325. The message was clearly understood and our durable and easy to assemble racks will now grace the walls of some of the very coolest retailers around. The show was an unqualified success. We'll be back.

Whigby Hangs Five Canadians

DateWednesday, December 30, 2009 at 5:10PM

Whigby would like to announce a new line of festive holiday ornaments. Laser cut from sturdy steel and powder coated in rudolph red, each is a familiar symbol of our Canadian home and native land. There are 5 in all: to see the other 3, check the Whigby store in the next week or so. Our friends (and a few test retail sites) all love them, but complain that we were too friggin' late for the season. To that Whigby says, "Hey, we're a whole year early, Jimmy!" Look for them at booth 4124 at the New York International Gift Fair in January.
