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.

Whigby Posts Posters

Now that one of Whigby's fastest selling product categories is posters, we thought we'd post a regular weekly (every Tuesday) piece about the subject (past and present). We're starting with one of our favourite artists: E. McKnight Kauffer. Best known for his London Underground work, you can read about him here and see more of his work here.

Touch Me Whigby

Serge Bloch's Deep Blue Heart is hand letterpressed for Whigby on Curious Touch, a somewhat furry paper that some have described as having the same surface quality as the skin on Camembert cheese. If you're going to be at the National Stationery Show, stop by for a feel. Or, just buy it here now.

Whigby Makes a Racket

We're very close to having a new multipurpose custom display rack that will work with our notecards (sets and singles), flat wrap and a secret new product that we're not yet ready to talk about. And like our original rack, it will be precision laser cut and fabricated from powder coated steel. The rack (along with 70 new products) will make its debut on May 17th at the National Stationery in New York. Like us, the display rack media is in a state of confusion and nervous excitement.

Whigby's Logo

We have an urge to put the Whigby logo atop the Seagram building in Manhattan. For now, this will have to do (and its more appropriate).

Whigby Gets Swiped

Some images of the Whigby rack at Swipe. Starting last week – in addition to the full line of Whigby flat wrap – Swipe now carries a line of Whigby notecards. A good note to end the week on. See you Monday morning.
