We loved working with the awesome YouTube team to bring this sporty Yoodles set to life 🏅 And for anyone who wants to reminisce about the magic of sports culture now that the Olympics and Summer is over, check out this great piece from It's Nice That!
Very late post, but my team collaborated with Anyways Creative on a series of YouTube Doodles (aka Yoodles) during the Olympics this summer. Take a look at the wonderful work and read a bit about the artists
Serve your own style 🎀 Our final independent business featured in this year’s Faire campaign #westandagainstbland series is MLE based in Upstate New York - a brand making sustainable statement pieces for the modern gentlewoman. The brand integrates the artistry of old-world techniques with modern designs and contemporary subject matters which makes them super unique. We spent a day with the wonderful Emily Antonian Li Mandri, MLE’s founder who shared a little bit more about her work with us: “I would describe my pieces as unique statement pieces. A majority of them are made to order and we do that to minimise the impact on the environment.” So how does Faire support the world of MLE? By becoming even more visible: “A lot of boutiques in the US as well as internationally have found us via Faire.” Check it out!

Keep It Colorful 🖍 Today we’d like to take you to a fashion inspired paper goods and stationery store. Plus cats. - The Completist. The Completist was born out of Jana’s love for prints and it has snowballed into a stationary brand and is now well-known for their unique combinations of print, colour and beautiful products. From cards for every occasion to their popular lay-flat notebooks, they have something for every design-conscious stationery lover. And they’re super sustainable too. We asked Jana how Faire supports their business: “Faire helps us connect with the businesses that align with our values and that’s really important to us.” Stay tuned for more!
We Stand Against Bland 🏺 Bright, colourful and bold. Next one up in Faire We Stand Against Bland campaign is Etc Store based in Peckham. Home of thoughtfully sourced homewares, lifestyle & printed ephemera. A haven of unique gifts and a range that could satisfy anyone! We hung out with Etc store owner Jana and the wonderful wider Etc team, including their harem of fluffy store cats. So what makes Etc stand out? “Our store is unique because we’re selling bright and colourful things that just make your home a little bit more fun and exciting to be in." Check out the film and there’s more to come 👀
Bring your taste to the table 🌶 We carefully researched hundreds of Faire wonderful independent businesses to find unique gems that embody Faire’s Mission of enriching their community. Enter Kalustyan's, an 80 year old international spice and specialty food market with ingredients from over 80 countries. It’s where NYC’s chefs, bartenders and home cooks shop together with a common goal - finding great quality ingredients. We knew we had to feature them! Spending a day with the owners, we found out more about their amazing story and how Faire wholesale helps their business. We asked them what makes Kalustyans unique? “We pride ourselves in assisting our customers to have the best shopping experience. We don’t have everything (as many customers say…) but we do have A LOT of really great things.” Check out the film and stay tuned for more!
We stand against bland 🎬 In our latest collaboration with Faire, we created a series of inspiring films featuring 4 independent businesses, each telling their own retailer and brand stories. Each film is an authentic snapshot of a small business owner's life and is an extension of our We Stand Against Bland campaign which started as a series of OOH activations across North America and Europe. Working with director Joe Ridout, we got to hang out with each business owner in their own space. The films brought to life Faire's mission of strengthening the unique character of local communities and celebrating authentic small business stories. First up is our hero film with more to come 👀
