Wraptious

We're a growing community of over thirty artists (Wraptees) who love to create and share innovative, awesome art. Painters, illustrators, photographers, those that work with typography, use paper, lino or even bits of string. It doesn't matter - if the work is cool and different, we believe it should be shared and enjoyed. We started with gift wrap, and now have cards, prints,coasters,mugs and notebooks too. The more we grow, the more we can support each other and bring exciting new talent and products to you. We have large ambitions and ideas, want to challenge convention and will never stand still. We're proud of all our Wraptees and think their talents are exceptional. Though it's thanks to you buying and believing in the work that Wraptious is able to promote independent art. By purchasing our wares, you are directly supporting the Wraptees who receive a share of each sale. How cool is that?! Rest assured we care about other things too. All our products are produced in the UK and on recycled or sustainable resources where possible. This is fundamentally important to us. Where Are We Going? We want our customers to continue enjoying new work. We want to make art more accessible. And we want to inspire all. We know we can't always get what we want, but we're quite stubborn and ambitious! We are always looking for new artists to join us, and run competitions biannually inviting artists to upload their work which gets shared and voted on by the public. We think this is a lot fairer than us deciding what's hot or not! If you are a little arty or know anyone that is, our next competition runs from 12th to 22nd May 2015 and we'd love you to enter! More details on our competition page. We have a strong following at markets around the Northwest, and feel privileged to be regulars at many including West Didsbury and Knutsford Makers' Markets, Altrincham Market, Levenshulme Market and the Manchester Print Fair. We sell wholesale too, to a growing list of great independent retailers around the Northwest, and are ...
