Twenty years ago, in our very first catalog, I wrote “the undertaking of designing a new and unique line of giftware in a very competitive industry is not an easy task” and the same holds true today. Throughout these past two decades and based on the ever-changing retail landscape and consumer purchasing demand, we have evolved from being a primarily traditional gift company to a contemporary gift and fashion accessory line. In today’s world we can see change right before our very eyes. To use a cliché, the only thing that remains constant is change, but now it’s faster than ever.

Our current line offering encompasses 2800 unique products appealing to a broad and varying consumer base. As we continue to diversify into new and exciting product categories, the creative quest to be different is rooted in the vision to ‘expect the unexpected.’ Always challenging ourselves to introduce new materials, price points, functionality, colors, sayings, and trends has been essential in setting us apart from the competition.

The one component of our company that has proudly remained constant is our mission statement and dedicated staff. We pride ourselves on a business approach that promotes employee longevity who strive to consistently offer creativity, quality, value and dependable service. We are excited and optimistic that 2019 will be a banner year for About Face Designs as we have made major investments into IT enhancements and upgrades in sales representation to improve the quality of customer service. Our proven track record calls not only for celebration, but also forward-thinking, as our greatest accomplishments lie ahead of us.

We thank you for your valued business and we look forward to the opportunity of partnering with you in 2019.
