Pour a Glass and Let the Cartoon Do the Talking
Some conversations go better with a glass in hand. Wine Lovers is the Orange Liar collection built for exactly those evenings: lidded stemless wine tumblers in clean white, each one wearing a character from our menagerie in full orange glory. It is satire you can sip from, made for book club, the back porch and the kind of dinner party where everyone ends up in the kitchen by nine. -
Whiskers, Neckties and a Very Busy Rat Pack
Rats are survivors. They find their way into every building, every basement and every back room, and they are gone before anyone thinks to check the pantry. The Rat Collection celebrates that particular talent with a whole pack of rodents in business attire, each one wearing the same orange swoop and the same red tie, and each one looking suspiciously comfortable wherever he has landed. -
Leaders Lead, and These Birds Circle Overhead
Leaders lead. Vultures, as one of our favorite designs puts it, feed. The Vulture Collection is a flock of hunched, beady-eyed birds in red neckties, perched and waiting for whatever is left on the table after everyone else has done the hard part. They all share the same unruly orange crest, and they all share the same patient, hungry expression. -
The Everyday Tee That Makes Its Point Before You Do
A good T-shirt is the most dependable joke teller you will ever own. It works the grocery run, the school pickup, the airport and the backyard, and it never loses its nerve. All Soft-Style T-Shirts is where the Orange Liar characters settle into that everyday role, spread across a cheerful spread of colors from sunny yellow and sky blue to charcoal and classic black, each one ready to say something clever while you get on with your day. -
You Will Notice These Skunks Before They Enter the Room
Some characters announce themselves with a speech. The characters in the Skunk Collection do it with an atmosphere. These are black-and-white skunks in suits and red ties, crowned with blond and orange hair that took a great deal of product to hold in place, and every one of them carries himself like the most fragrant fellow in the building is somebody else. -
Every Pitch Comes With a Forked Tongue
Every traveling medicine show needs a pitchman, and the Snakeoil Collection is where ours parked the wagon. This is a cast of scaly salesmen with suspiciously orange hair, red ties knotted just so, and a miracle cure ready for anyone who slows down long enough to listen. The joke lives in the picture: you see the grin, you see the tie, and you already know how the sale ends. -
Meet the Starting Lineup Nobody Would Draft
There is something about a baseball tee that makes any design look like it belongs on a team. All Baseball 3/4 Sleeve takes the full Orange Liar roster and suits them up in classic ballpark style, crisp white bodies with contrasting sleeves, so every character looks like he is waiting for his name to be called over the stadium speakers. The lineup is enthusiastic. The fundamentals, less so. -
A Rose Is a Rose, and a Donkey Is Always a Donkey
Gertrude Stein once wrote that a rose is a rose is a rose. We took that line, swapped the flower for a barnyard favorite, and built the Limited Edition collection around it. Everything here is a donkey, every donkey is dressed for work, and every one of them is a small study in the same timeless truth: you can put a tie on it, comb its hair and hand it a title, and it will still be exactly what it is. -
Loud Ducks, Louder Hair and Not a Single Calm Pond
A quack, in the old sense of the word, is the fellow selling confidence he does not have. The Quack Collection takes that word literally and fills a pond with ducks who all talk far more than they should. Every one of them has a mop of orange feathers on top, a red tie below, and a beak that has not closed in a very long time. -
The Hyena Who Dressed for His Own Getaway
Out on the savanna, the hyena has a reputation. He waits at the edge of things, laughs at the wrong moment, and turns up wherever somebody else did the work. The Hyena Collection gives that scavenger a wardrobe and a nickname, and the result is one very pleased little character named Criminal at Large. He is small, spotted, and absolutely certain the camera loves him. -
Hood Up, Opinions Out: Our Whole Menagerie Goes Cozy
When the air turns cool, the jokes should stay warm. All Premium Hoodies gathers the entire Orange Liar menagerie into one cozy place, every character large and clear across the back of a hoodie made for chilly mornings, stadium bleachers and long walks where you want your commentary to travel with you. Think of it as a zoo tour you can wear, with the orange hair glowing against navy, slate, sea green and snowy white. -
Morning Coffee, Now With a Friendly Warning Label
Home Accessories is where the whole Orange Liar menagerie moves in with you. The skunks, the rats, the ducks and the donkeys all leave the wardrobe behind and settle onto glossy black coffee mugs, their orange hair glowing against the dark like a porch light. Some bring along the captions you already know. Others arrive with a brand new message written just for the kitchen: a warning, posted politely, for everyone who picks up your cup. -
Little Pigs in Neckties, and Not One of Them Built a House
Pigs get an unfair reputation. They are clever, social and famously tidy when given the chance. The pigs in the Piggy Collection, however, did not get the memo. These are round, pink, orange-topped characters in neckties, each one convinced he is the most important animal on the farm, and each one caught in the middle of proving he is not. -
One Magnificent Bird Who Refuses to Go Extinct
The dodo is history's favorite cautionary tale: a bird so sure of itself that it never saw the obvious coming. The Dodo Collection gives that old legend one new star, Donnie Demento, a small, stubborn, magnificently coiffed bird who has clearly heard the warnings and filed every one of them under fake news. He works alone, and he takes up the whole room anyway. -
A Mug for Every Hour of a Very Long News Day
A coffee mug is the most honest object in the house. It is there for the early alarm, the long meeting and the late headline, and it knows exactly what kind of day you are having. Our Coffee Mugs collection puts the whole Orange Liar cast on glossy black mugs, where every orange swoop and red tie glows against the dark, so your cup can keep you company and keep its own commentary going between sips. -
A Proud Family of Donkeys With Remarkable Hair
Satire has leaned on the donkey for centuries, and it has never once let us down. The Donkey Collection is a barnyard of long-eared gentlemen who all happened to visit the same stylist: every one of them wears a tangerine swoop, a red tie and the calm certainty of an animal who believes he is the smartest one in the stable. Nobody has told them otherwise, which is the whole joke. -
A Very Well-Dressed Week With the Whole Menagerie
All Apparel is the whole Orange Liar wardrobe in one room: every tee, hoodie and baseball style, every character from the snakes to the skunks, hanging side by side like a closet that has strong opinions about the news. With that many personalities to choose from, the simplest way to explore it is to plan a week. Each day gets its own companion, and nobody has to repeat an outfit. -
Sly Grins, Big Ears and a Jackal Running the Family Business
In the old fables, the jackal is the trickster who talks his way into the lion's share and out of every consequence. The Jackal Collection gives him a tie, a tailor and a remarkable head of orange hair, and then lets a few very different members of the family introduce themselves. One runs the operation, one skips out on the bill, and one is having a very bad afternoon.
