Xenotees Wholesale Information
Xenotees is a Philadelphia screen printing studio founded by artist Noëlle Burke. We design and hand-print original cat lover gifts, bookish gifts, and food lover gifts in small batches — and we're proud to work with independent retailers who care about where their products come from.
We currently partner with cat cafés, pet boutiques, independent bookstores, gift shops, zoo and museum gift shops, and veterinary offices across the United States and internationally.

Who We're a Good Fit For
Our products do best in retail environments where customers already love cats, animals, food, or indie-made things. If your customers ask "where is this from?" and actually care about the answer, we're probably a great match. Our wholesale partners include:
- Cat cafés looking for merchandise that extends the guest experience
- Pet boutiques seeking handmade gifts that stand out from mass-produced options
- Independent bookstores and gift shops carrying gifts for word nerds and animal lovers
- Zoo, aquarium, and museum gift shops looking for original animal-themed designs
- Veterinary offices and animal rescues with retail areas
What Sells Best at Wholesale
Based on what moves consistently for our retail partners, these are our top performers:
Canvas Tote Bags — our cat lover tote bags are impulse-buy friendly, easy to display, and come in multiple colorways. Consistently strong sellers at registers and near café exits.
Flour Sack Kitchen Towels — our screen printed flour sack towels are a favorite for gift shops and bookstores. The Animal Collective Nouns towel in particular is a top seller for word nerds, teachers, and trivia lovers. Practical, giftable, and priced right.
Graphic Sweatshirts & Tees — soft, wearable, and designed to feel special rather than novelty. Best for boutiques with apparel sections and cat cafés with a loyal repeat customer base.
Stickers — low price point, high margin, zero sizing complexity. Easy add-on at checkout.
Made in USA Catnip Cat Toys — a natural fit for cat cafés and pet boutiques. Handmade, American-made, and the kind of thing cat lovers grab without thinking twice.

Why Retailers Choose Xenotees
Every design starts as original artwork by Noëlle Burke and is screen printed by hand in our Philadelphia studio. Nothing is dropshipped, outsourced, or mass produced. Your customers are buying something genuinely made by a real person — and that story is one your staff can tell with confidence.
Our small batch model means designs evolve over time and some are limited run, which keeps your shelf feeling fresh and gives customers a reason to come back.
