About Laughing Elephant

Founded in 1969, our third-generation family business uses vintage illustrations as designs for greeting cards and paper goods. We aim to share the superb designs of the golden age of illustration in products that convey care, kindness, and love. We are experts in vintage art, collecting a vast archive of images from the late 1800s to the 1970s. We utilize these beautiful children’s books, advertisements, scrapbooks, and posters to add heartfelt inspiration to people’s lives. What you will not find in our products is cynicism, black humor, or ugly portrayals of people or animals. We hope to uplift, amuse, encourage, and comfort with our designs and messages. Thank you so much for choosing our small family business from Seattle!Read their story
