The Story So Far…

Mustard and Gray was founded by Zoe and Vicky in 2018, born from a shared love of design and a desire to build something creative together.

We first met at Festival No.6 in Portmeirion, North Wales in 2016. After a weekend of incredible food, eclectic music and camping on what felt like a near-vertical slope, a brilliant friendship was formed. Before long we became adventure buddies, travelling across the UK and Europe whenever we could escape our day jobs. Somewhere between campfire chats and road trip conversations, the idea for Mustard and Gray began to take shape — not just products we loved, but a different way of living and working.

By December 2018, Mustard and Gray officially began. The following year was spent designing, planning and slowly building what would become our small but growing design studio.

Today, Mustard and Gray has evolved into a design-led stationery, gift and homewares brand supplying independent shops as well as our own customers online. We’re incredibly proud to work with wonderful retailers both locally and internationally, from Cornwall to California, Hamburg to Singapore, and many places in between.

We design and make as much as possible with our small team in our Shropshire workshop, and when we do outsource, we work with trusted local manufacturers or carefully chosen ethical suppliers who share our values.

At heart, we’re still what we always were — two friends who love good design, beautiful paper, thoughtful products and the independent business community. We feel very lucky to spend our days designing, making and working with like-minded shops and customers.

With our very best wishes,

Vicky and Zoe
