Waggish

Waggish is all about sass, pizzazz and quirk, as can be seen in their product. They started with stickers, so you can sticker-fy anything and everything in your life, but they also do notebooks, magnets, keychains, badges, totes, apparel and more. Coming from local roots, they incorporate loads of pop-culture references and Gen-Z quips in not just English, but also Arabic, for that authentically cultural affect.
