Founded in 2017 by multidisciplinary designer Ashley L. Fouyolle, UNWRP began in a small bedroom of her Brooklyn apartment. Her love of vibrant colors, unique patterns, and the gifting experience led her into the world of luxury gift wrap – where all her favorite things come together. Now, UNWRP has expanded into stationery and textiles — and you can text Ashley for creative ways to use UNWRP goodies, too. (Bonus: all their gift wrap is fully recyclable!)

We couldn’t be more proud to work with founders Daniel Buezo and Weleh Dennis, and we think their clothing would be the perfect gift for anyone on your list.

Ahmad Akar started Oddsox when, after a trip to his local Walmart, he realized there were no fun, colorful options for men’s socks.
