Sassy Retro-Vintage Products Designed by Anne Taintor

Retro Lovers Adore Anne Taintor Sayings And Products

Have you all found Anne Taintor designs yet? She is the gal who created all those fun edgy magnets, calendars, note cards, barware, bags etc. with vintage images and sassy sayings.

A few years ago I had the pleasure of talking with graphic artist Suzy Massey (Phoenix Massey Studio) who designed the Anne Taintor website. Suzy told me how Anne Taintor, a 1977 Harvard graduate never imagined that her kitchen table hobby would become the successful business it is today. While Anne now resides in New Mexico and has passed on the day to day operations to others, The Anne Taintor Company is still a big hit among retro lovers.

How Anne Taintor Started

Anne began her business in 1985 as a single parent who wanted to work at home so she could spend more time with her daughter. She first started making collaged pins and magnets using vintage images and Anne's own clever captions.

A hit among her customers, Anne's business grew and grew and each year more and more products were added to her inventory.
