The Conde Nast Store sells prints drawn from the archives of the company's magazines: New Yorker covers and cartoons, Vogue and Vanity Fair covers and photography, and art from titles such as GQ, Architectural Digest, Bon Appetit and Conde Nast Traveler. Most pieces come as paper prints, framed prints or canvas, and some appear on mugs, puzzles and other gifts.
An order goes well when you pick the image for the room it will hang in, choose a finish that suits it, and buy during one of the store's frequent percentage sales rather than at list price.
Searching the archive properly
The Conde Nast Store archive is large, and browsing the home page shows only a fraction of it. Search by magazine first, then by year, artist or subject. A New Yorker cover from the week someone was born, or a Vogue cover from a wedding year, is a popular gift for exactly this reason.
Cartoons are searchable by keyword. Try the recipient's profession, hobby or pet: there is a New Yorker cartoon about almost every job and most dog breeds. Read the caption closely before buying, since a joke that lands in one office can read differently in another.
If an image appears in several crops or colour versions, check which one you have selected. The Conde Nast Store product page shows the exact image that will print.
Paper, framed or canvas
A paper print is the cheapest option and suits anyone who already has a framer or wants a specific frame. Measure your frame's opening before ordering so the Conde Nast Store size you pick actually fits it.
A framed print arrives ready to hang and removes the framer's bill, which often costs more than the print itself. Look at the frame colour and matting options on the product page; a white mat around a magazine cover gives it room and looks more finished than a cover printed edge to edge.
Canvas suits photography and bold cover art better than cartoons. Fine line drawings and small captions lose detail on a canvas weave, so keep New Yorker cartoons on paper.
Sizing for the wall
Magazine covers are portrait-shaped, so a Conde Nast Store cover print is taller than it is wide. Above a sofa or bed, one large print or a row of three matching covers works better than a single small one.
Before ordering, cut a sheet of paper or tape an outline to the wall at the size you are considering. Most people find they wanted one size larger. For a gallery wall, keep frame colours consistent across the Conde Nast Store prints even if the magazines differ.
Gifts, personalisation and timing
Prints are usually made to order, so the Conde Nast Store needs production time before shipping. For a birthday or holiday, order well ahead and check the delivery estimate shown at checkout rather than assuming standard parcel times.
Framed pieces are bulky and ship in larger boxes. If the gift is going to someone else's address, confirm the delivery details and whether a gift note can be added. Personalised or custom items may be treated differently from stock prints on returns, so read the terms before ordering one.
Returns and damage
Open a framed Conde Nast Store order as soon as it arrives and check the glazing and corners. Damage in transit is easier to resolve when reported quickly with photographs of the box and the item.
Check the current return terms for made-to-order prints. Custom and personalised pieces are commonly excluded from change-of-mind returns, so be sure of the image and size before you pay.
Where the Conde Nast Store savings are
The Conde Nast Store runs percentage sales around most holidays, and the codes above follow that calendar. The 50% last-call code is the deepest when it is live; try it first on any basket.
The 40% new-year code is the next best. On a large framed piece, a percentage code saves far more than any dollar amount.
The $50 code is named for a spend threshold, so it likely needs a basket of around $200 before it applies. It beats 40% only on a small basket, which a $200 minimum rules out, so use it when the percentage codes fail.
Conde Nast Store codes generally do not stack. Enter each one in turn at checkout and keep the one that gives the lower total after shipping.
Common questions
Are Conde Nast Store prints official?
Yes. The Conde Nast Store is the publisher's own archive shop, so the covers, cartoons and photographs are licensed from the magazines themselves.
Which Conde Nast Store finish is best for a cartoon?
A framed paper print with a mat. Canvas softens fine linework and small captions.
How long do Conde Nast Store orders take?
Prints are made to order, so allow production time plus shipping. Check the estimate at checkout before a gift deadline.
When are Conde Nast Store prices lowest?
Around holidays and end-of-season sales, when 25% to 50% codes appear. Full-price weeks are rarely worth it.
