This is the Cardinal Gift Shop online edit. The selection will be little different every week, just like at our brick and mortar shop in Fort Greene, Brooklyn.
Cardinal Gift Shop & studio is a 400 sf. space where retail and creative streams get crossed. The shop is a shifting collection of simple-function art and design objects, some old some new. Most of our stock is made or sourced locally, including the clothing. In the back/studio we paint all the fabrics for the Cardinal line and also do experiments of wacky ideas we dream up—some of which end up in the shop.
