One of Cornwall’s most-loved card and art brands, now with 12 shops in South West England, Whistlefish was founded by Lyn Thompson in 1997. An ambitious, young artist with a passion for florals and animals. Lyn still heads up the business today, ensuring the same beauty, care and a little bit of sparkle is woven into every design that the in-studio artists create.

From design and creation, to distribution and post-purchase longevity, every day the team continues to work creatively to reduce their impact on the environment, putting green matters at the heart of everything Whistlefish does.

Whistlefish produce and their cards and art in Cornwall, which means that they can control the production line and create small batch runs, delivering lovely prints at even lovelier prices. They support British (and favourably Cornish) whenever they can. This ensures product miles are minimised, while at the same time supporting British Industry – with the added bonus of bringing employment and community benefits.

Visit their online store – delivering UK wide – or one of the 12 shops based across Cornwall and Devon. You’ll find cards for every occasion – including a huge Christmas collection – wrapping paper, gift bags, framed prints and canvases, home wares – such as aprons, tea towels and tote bags, stationery, party wear and a marketplace full of artisan gifts. It’s a one-stop shop for those who love to give.
