Our Story

“But Is It Art? offers you the opportunity to laugh hysterically in a public place.”

Since opening in 1973 we’ve been daring to be different, bringing our customers everything from the inappropriate to the design led.

We work hard to give everyday products a fun, fresh twist with imagination and wit.

Our diverse collection of cards, gifts homeware, jewellery and art are lovingly curated and constantly updated to inspire and entertain.
