About Us
About Us
We are probably the best company in the world.
Who we are
Meriwether is a small group of underachievers in Whitefish, Montana. We make mugs, cards, barware, coasters, magnets, stickers and journals that say the thing you're thinking but were raised too well to say out loud. We were raised that well too. Look how that turned out.
Disappointing our parents since 1976
Our parents wanted doctors or lawyers. Instead we put jokes on mugs. Thanksgiving is quiet now.
What we actually do all day
Mostly we sit around in black turtlenecks, smoking pipes and staring meaningfully at a mountain. Between puffs, someone says something inappropriate, someone else writes it down, and six weeks later it's on a whiskey glass. That's the whole process. We considered having a "strategy." It felt like a lot.
Our mission
To design things nobody needs and sell them to people who didn't ask for them. We're damn good at it. Possibly the best. (See above. Still no citation.)
Who shops here
- People buying a gift for someone they love.
- People buying a gift for someone they tolerate.
- People buying a gift for themselves and pretending it's for someone they love.
- Your aunt. You know the one.
If you have questionable taste and a working sense of humor, welcome home. If you have neither, our condolences. The scented candle aisle is that way.
Our promise
We will constantly amaze you. Not in a good way, but consistently, which is more than you can say for your ex.
Things we are not
We are not a lifestyle brand or a "community." We will never ask you to join a movement. The only movement we support is getting up off the couch for another beer.
Come say hi (or don't, we're introverts)
Warehouse & Studio:
901 Wisconsin Ave., Whitefish, MT 59937. This is where the magic happens, and by magic we mean bubble wrap.
Email: smile@mwmade.com. We do smile. Occasionally. Against our will.
Now go buy something. Your parents are already disappointed, so you might as well have a nice mug.
