About Tache

The story of Tache Crafts is really the story of Frank and Pennie. In many ways, it’s a typical millennial love story: two young creatives meet at a music festival, then struggle to make ends meet while attempting to forge careers in uncompromising and sometimes harsh industries. Pennie was in fashion; Frank was working nine-to-five at a small web design company. Times were tough. Money was tight. For her 23rd birthday, Pennie was surprised and delighted to receive a hand-made card from Frank. It was an elaborate creation: a mounted three-dimensional cut-out of two quirky cartoon cats – a smug Tom handing a heart-shaped balloon to his unimpressed-looking feline sweetheart. It occurred to Pennie that unlike normal greetings cards, which are given merely as an accompaniment to a gift, this card really was a gift in itself. Would other people appreciate this as much as she had? She mentioned her thoughts to Frank, and – with nothing to lose - the couple decided to take a leap into the unknown. And so, in between fending off kitten attacks and re-positioning smashable items beyond the reach of scrabbling paws, Frank and Pennie started laying the plans for a company that would take the greetings card world by storm.Read their story
