For 4/20, premium tinned seafood company Fishwife teamed up with NYC-based modern lifestyle brand Edie Parker for a limited-edition, collaborative 4/20 Bundle.
The co-branded Fishwife x Edie Parker 4/20 Bundle pairs Smoked Salmon and Smoked Rainbow Trout with Red Chimichurri with stylish touches from Edie Parker: a Fishwife lighter, a beaded fish-shaped lighter holder keychain, and custom Fishwife papers crafted from 100% rice paper and printed with organic soy-based ink.
As a once-a-year celebration of cannabis culture, April 20th has become a welcome moment for adult-targeted brands to speak directly to their grown-up audiences, leaning into humor and a relaxed sensibility to connect in a way that feels fun, a little cheeky, and refreshingly real.
