Fivestripes is the vision of Frank Weeden who first created the Striped Candle and Ana Candles. Fivestripes is now Ana’s new home.
Frank has long been a stripe aficionado and can’t help but notice them everywhere he goes. So, why not create a venue where stripe lovers can find the best stripes from around the world. Why not? So, we did, and we called it Fivestripes.
To kick off our new venture, we’re starting with special gift items, personal accessories, home products, and other favorites we’ve come across during our travels. The utilitarian, the refined, and the frivolous, brought to you by designers who have made their mark producing original designs and quality products. From Meg Cohen’s super fine cashmere scarves to William Bounds’ smart pepper mills to our very own Striped Candles…and even some knick-knacks thrown in for fun.
Stripes have been part of the human aesthetic ever since the first weavers and potters started introducing patterns into their craft. From subtle and refined to bold and brash, stripes continue to inspire boundless creativity. As with their evolution, ours is a loose interpretation. Our stripes go off in many different directions from straight to sinewy, from linear to bold, from formal to just downright wacky…Really, anything goes as long as it’s beautiful.
We stand by our stripe collections in every way. There are so many stripes out there that we chose only the most beautiful and well-made pieces we could find. We know Fivestripes will be a great success and plan to expand our offerings with every new season. So, come visit us again soon to find out what’s new in our striped world…
