Bold and bright

This exciting new collaboration is based on exclusive designs from Bold & Bright’s Jeffrey & Janice brand featuring across everyday and occasions greeting cards, mugs, coasters, notebooks, bookmarks and a calendar.

The range is being produced under a licensing agreement with Thea Musselwhite, founder of Bold & Bright, and has a slightly different look to the publisher’s own greeting card collection, which Thea will continue to sell.

Mark Williams, co-owner of the company, said: “We have always loved the range and felt it would be a great addition to our product offering.’’

The collaboration with Thea joins Brainbox’s other successful partnerships with David Shrigley and Modern Toss. Tel: 01702 716643 Web: www.brainboxcandytrade.com
