Gigantic Brand

When someone says “think big,” you envision mansions, five-carat rocks, the $50 cheese plate from Costco.

We say forget big. Think gigantic.

Gigantic Brand, that is. It’s a New York-based company that sells music, fashion, accessories, and art. And through its newly launched website, you can have access to it all. Among the rare, independent, designer, and international goods, standouts include canvas wallets with bright prints, pewter candlesticks, and a range of cool jewelry like the 5 Ring, a flat silver band that, when viewed sideways, forms the shape of the number, and the Signs of Time collection of branch-inspired sterling necklaces and earrings.

Perhaps even more impressive is the array of cutting-edge designers such as Emma Cook, Zakee Shariff, and Bruno Pieters. There’s also an overwhelming collection of T-shirts for both him and her. Choose a limited-edition tee and be assured of having one of only a small number.

Because bigger is only better in some cases.
