It's Our First Birthday!
Well, that went fast. - Owen
It's birthday time at Owen & Fred -- our first birthday, to be precise. I feel like we went from pablum to walking in 12 months!
Owen & Fred launched on February 18, 2012 amid exactly zero fanfare. We built the fans and fanfare throughout 2012, and we were pretty stoked to see it all come together.
We started with a great series of products at launch, including W.M. J. Mills, Defy Bags, Portland General Store, Ursa Major, and Imperial Barbershop, Maxx & Unicorn, Blunt Umbrellas, Jacob Bromwell, Blue Bottle Coffee, and Culinarium. Our signature product - custom leather luggage tags - were named by GQ Magazine as part of it's "Best Stuff of 2012" which certainly made our mothers proud. In addition, we were featured in the GQ blog, on Esquire.com (for our fabulous collaboration with Hudson Suttler, The Owen & Fred Gym Bag and Weekend Bag), the New York Times, a Cup of Jo, NY Mag, Daily Candy, and Refinery 29. Neato-Freato!
We've got some great things up our sleeves in 2013.
- We're going to keep finding you awesome, USA-made gear, gadgets and gifts for guys.
- We're going to build and create some great men's accessories, one product at a time, at an increasing rate in 2013. Our newest product are our accessories trays.
P.S. This week, there are some great deals for our regular customers and readers of the blog. Here goes!
