Welcome to Very Serious Co.!

The fact that you're here reading this means the world to us. You'll know us as the faces behind Friday Sock Co. and Little May Papery. We own and operate Weekday Candles and Made by a Potato, and if that wasn't enough, we've got two very sweet young children plus new brands in the works to add to our growing portfolio! At our core, we're creative people who appreciate thoughtfully crafted, high quality goods. 

When we think about how we've grown as a small business it's the support from our retail partners that is at the forefront of any success we've had. You believe in well-made products and the story behind the brands you carry. You have helped us create a community that we’re beyond grateful to be a part of.

Very Serious Co. came to life through brainstorming how we could create a better wholesale experience and how we could support our stockists in a meaningful way. Being able to streamline the ordering process as well as ship out goods together to save time and money was our lightbulb moment. We’ve got exciting things to come as we embark on this journey, including discounting and (dare we say), new brands and products to add to the mix.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all of your support, well wishes and feedback, and most importantly for being on this ride with us.
