Instagram Accounts
Laundry Day
“Laundry Day is a line of design-forward smokeware founded with a mission to change the visual narrative behind cannabis use. After seeking out personal smoking pieces for years, founder Victoria Ashley, who uses cannabis as a natural sleep aid, came face-to-face with a notable gap in the industry.
While acceptance of cannabis consumption – for medical, self-care, and recreational use was on the rise- the products, packaging, and design continued to lack the creativity demanded by other categories. Laundry Day is on a mission to provide more approachable, design-forward products that dispel stigmas, redefine outdated expectations, cater to modern voices and elevate and expand the industry’s status quo.”
Broccoli Mag
“Broccoli encourages the discovery and intelligent appreciation of cannabis through experimental and engaging explorations of art, culture, and fashion.
Created by an all-women team, Broccoli’s flagship magazine and an expanding array of creative projects nimbly connect a global community ready to participate in a new era of weed.”
Summer School
Summer School is a handmade line of homewares made by Karen D'Ambrosi in Richmond, Virginia.
Tetra
“Founded in 2015, Tetra is a retail shop and accessories brand offering beautifully designed smoking objects for aesthetically-minded people. During the mid-century period, design luminaries such as Dieter Rams, Marianne Brandt, and Enzo Mari created iconic smoking accessories for the home.
Tetra seeks to revive that tradition of beautiful and useful objects in a contemporary way, celebrating the new rituals of smoking through a lens of great design.”
Cannabis Feminist | Prima
“We’ve reached a radical tipping point in history. The devastating impact that stressors of all kinds are having on our minds, bodies, communities and environment simply can’t be denied. And now is the time to take a stand.
We are wellness advocates, science enthusiasts and changemakers with a deep respect for nature — and a firm belief in its ability to bring us back to balance. We founded Prima to provide the products, tools and education that will help us get there. Because when we as individuals are able to find that balance, it has a profound and lasting impact on the people and world around us.
It’s all connected. We’re all connected. And at the end of the day, we all deserve better.”
Serra
“Purveyors of Quality Drugs since 2016, Serra exists to transform the way people look at cannabis through carefully crafted experiences, uncompromising products and inspired partnerships — all tailored to our sophisticated customers’ comforts and curiosities.
With a little art, and a lot of consideration, we believe that showing cannabis in a different light makes it possible for all kinds of people to see how cannabis can enhance their day-to-day lives.”
Old Pal
“We created Old Pal Provisions with a simple mission: to offer a collection of quality, artisan goods built for the free spirits who enjoy the higher side of life. It’s all about community and sharing our love for adventure, so we’ve compiled a batch of provisions built to inspire the mind, boost your mood, and transform the home. Our collection includes products made by our friends and neighbors, offering a range of unique items that expand horizons and spread a healthy dose of love.”
Civilized
“Civilized is a reflection of the folks we see enjoying cannabis but not represented in current cannabis culture. They are the millions of adults who choose to enjoy cannabis recreationally - whether with friends instead of drinking alcohol, to unwind after a stressful day at work or just to think more creatively. They enjoy it and choose to use it. Some of them hide it. Some of them don't. Frankly, we don't see much of a downside when cannabis is regulated and enjoyed responsibly.
They are executives, entrepreneurs, tradespeople, teachers, students, politicians and artists. They are couples and they are singles. They come from all walks of life. Many are raising kids. They are bright, creative, hard working people. They are in towns, cities and villages everywhere.
At Civilized we might be lighthearted and funny but we believe the underlying conversation on this important subject can and should be smart. Because we know cannabis can be smart. And healthy. And positive for our communities.”
