Porter Loves Merch: 

Hello all-

 

Thank you for your patience. We remain deeply committed to pursuing this project idea in a way that is supportive of and fun for all involved. In our previous message, we stated that we thought January 1 was the earliest we could launch our first collaboration.

 

Due to the global chaos, the already well underway holiday season, our ongoing grief waves, and the need to take a moment to slow down, we're opting to postpone the initial kickoff. We haven't started the collaborative process in earnest with any particular artist or maker on this list, perhaps because folks are experiencing their own overwhelm.

KEY TAKEAWAY

This message is primarily to confirm that we are still interested in pursuing this and hope you are too. If you're scrambling to come up with something to follow the previously shared hypothetical timeline, take a break and give yourself a moment to catch your breath.

 

If you have an idea spark and want to fill out the form in the previous email, you are welcome to do that, but should not feel compelled or rushed to do so.

 

We will follow up again early in 2026. Maybe some creative collaboration will be a nice distraction from winter doldrums.

In the Meantime

To wrap up our 13th anniversary celebration and say thank you for supporting us in all the ways, use the code PORTERLOVES13 at checkout in the Porter Loves Shop through 11:59pm November 30 to get 13% off your total order of original artwork, photo prints, or high-res digital downloads.

 

The 13% discount will come from our share of sales, so we are still donating 35% of the total retail price to Casa San José, now through the end of the year.
