Chonky Goods & Ping Hatta. Illustrated Goods
THE STORY:
It started out as Ping's passion project, born out of her love for art and sending cute postcards as a way to connect with her friends and family overseas. She began designing and hand-printing greeting cards from her tiny apartment in Queens, New York. Little did she know that this would lead to a full-blown side hustle!
Now, Ping's brands have grown even bigger, with over 90+ online and brick-and-mortar retail stores across the world. And despite their growth, Ping takes pride in being a 100% locally made independent greeting card maker by long-term partnering with local print shops in both New York and Bangkok.
Whether you're looking for art prints, lifestyle and home goods products, or silly cat-themed items, Ping's brands have something for everyone. Because who doesn't love a little bit of humor and silliness in their lives?
