Updates: Palm Springs, Online Store, and An Impending Launch of New Shit

Whew. That's one lengthy blog post title. But, we've been busy over here at W & C.

Mostly, we've been masterminding a semi-launch of new goods for our line. In addition to the totes and wallets we've been selling on Etsy (huge thanks to those who have purchased items from us already), we're currently waiting on a an order of tanks from Youth Monument/Venly. What will we be doing with those tanks? Why, we'll be hand screen printing on said tank tops, just in time for summer (or June Gloom if you live in Los Angeles). Also, check out Venly's website to get a better idea of their brand. We're proud to be sourcing materials from this Los Angeles business.

We also went a recent trip to Palm Springs, CA, to soak up some mineral water, photograph desert modern mid-century architecture, and shoot a little mood film for our line. That is currently being edited and will be featured on our website soon. Here is some magic from that desert voyage:

And, speaking of websites, Whiskey & Cigarettes Co. has officially launched the e-commerce chapter of it's website. We're still keeping our Etsy store alive because we're aficionados of the hand-made and homespun movement underfoot, but shopping with Whiskey & Cigarettes just got a little easier with this latest addition. Stay tuned for updates of new products to the shop(s).
