PPAI 705312 NEW MEMBER SPOTLIGHT How did your company get its start? We started the company 11 years ago in our living room with one sewing machine, and have since grown the business into a vertically integrated company with our own manufacturing facility in Los Angeles. We sell our line of handbags, accessories and home goods online and to over 400 wholesale accounts. What led your company to enter the promotional products market? We have been getting many requests over the years for personalized products, especially since we offer premium products made in Los Angeles from sustainable materials. Since we have our own factory, we have a lot of flexibility to accommodate those customers and offer fast turn- arounds with low minimums. This part of the business has been growing organically to become a substantial part of our sales. That led us to now enter the market in a more focused way, join PPAI, hire a network of reps and develop products tailored to this industry. What’s your favorite thing about being in the promotional products industry? It is exciting to see our products being used in new and different ways. Knowing our products lend themselves well for corporate gifting with a variety of decoration methods gives the promotional products customers the ultimate choice in showcasing their logo while giving a high-quality gift. Why did you join PPAI? Joining PPAI allows us visibility and access to a wide customer base. For us, participating in PPAI-sponsored shows is a great way to connect with these customers and grow our brand awareness. More and more buyers are interested in working with companies that value local production, sustainability and eco-friendly, minimal waste practices. We feel we have a unique niche with regard to our products and practices meeting these needs of today’s buyers, and are happy to be a part of the PPAI group of suppliers.
