M&W Design, a leader in sustainable souvenirs and custom keepsakes, is proud to announce the acquisition of Travel Posters, a Colorado-based business renowned for its artistic designs capturing the beauty of American landscapes, seascapes, and mountains.  This new collection further enriches our portfolio with new artistic styles and creative inspiration. Travel Posters will continue to operate under its current name with its existing website, TravelPosters.com, maintaining uninterrupted service for its customers.

Mike Whalen, founder of M&W Design, shares the excitement about this new chapter: “We acquired Travel Posters because of the exceptional quality, craftsmanship, and strong relationships Blair and Lauri established. Our goal is to carry forward the legacy they’ve built, as Travel Posters naturally aligns with M&W’s values. We’re committed to maintaining and exceeding the high standards of quality that have set Travel Posters apart in the marketplace. Integrating Travel Posters into our family of brands strengthens our mission to make a lasting impact in the industry, providing sustainable solutions that help people create lasting memories.”

The integration of Travel Posters will not only maintain the company’s beloved collection of prints but also inspire new product lines across M&W Designs’ existing categories, including souvenir, home décor and gift. Customers can expect exciting collaborations and fresh designs that reflect the spirit of both companies.This acquisition enhances M&W’s commitment to fostering a deeper passion for the outdoors and environmental stewardship.
