Williams-Sonoma and Whigby

2010-07-18T14:05:07Z

As of Friday, all 36 West Elm stores (owned and operated by Williams-Sonoma) will be carrying a nice collection of Whigby's Everyday and Holiday products. Because of the heatwave, we're celebrating (and blogging) poolside from our newly purchased wood slat loungers (above). Available here.

2010-06-17T19:18:14Z

Whigby is now available (or will be very soon) in all 34 Paper Source locations – from Pasadena, California to Dedham Massachusetts (and many points betwixt) it's Whigby, Whigby, Whigby.

California, Here We Come

2010-06-09T15:11:38Z

Starting this week, Whigby fans can find us at 4 new locations in southern California. During your visit to Studio City, stop in at Big Sugar Bakeshop for a slice of Lemon Curd Layer Cake alongside a delicious order of Whigby. When in Westwood Village, visit the legendary FLAX where you can buy a Mont Blanc pen – the perfect companion for your new pile of fancy Whigby cards. So you're in Pasadena? Make the best of it and stop by Marz for a sock monkey and box of Whigby holiday cards. Lundeens in Culver City is the perfect place to go for the perfect gift to accompany the perfect wrap and the perfect card.

Mass MoCA Meet WhIGBY

2010-06-04T18:49:24Z

MASS MoCA is the largest center for contemporary arts in the United States. The institution is dedicated to the creation and presentation of provocative visual and performing arts pieces, and of works that blur conventional distinctions between artistic disciplines. Far more important, the shop at Mass MoCA – Hardware – now includes a stunning collection of Whigby.

the powerHouse Arena & Whigby

2010-06-03T16:19:17Z

the powerHouse Arena – laboratory for creative thought and home to world-renowned art book publisher POWERHOUSE BOOKS, just ordered another batch of Whigby (Dumbo likes Whigby). We agree with Peter M. Mayer, President of The Overlook Press when he says, "the powerHouse Arena has expanded New Yorkers' sense not only of where it's happening, but of what's happening."

Whigby is Packed (Not Yet Picked)

2010-05-19T11:52:41Z

Just another day at the Javitz Center in New York City. By noon, the truck will be packed and Todd will be on the road heading back to Toronto with over 30 new Whigby accounts (including two museum stores) and just as many reorders. The show was a big success. We've also inked a deal with the very best team in Southern California to represent Whigby. Back home on Crown's Lane, we're busy lining up supplies and a small army of summer students to start picking and packing. Go Team Whigby! Is that Michele Temporale (above right), helping out booth-side? Yes it is. Thank you Michele.

Whigby Joins the Svpply Chain

2010-05-07T13:11:15Z

Two Whigby cards are featured on Svpply: a stylish "by invitation only" bookmarking site. On a different (but related) note, we have many new retail partners to thank (three this week alone!) for signing on with Whigby – look for a series of blog notices over the next few weeks. Right now, we're madly getting ready for the National Stationery Show – less than a week away. We're launching lots of new products, so don't forget to visit us at booth 1935.
