Our launch in 2018 was a whirlwind, and so much fun! One of our featured artists, Andromahi, came with her lovely friend Roula, their first journey to America, to help with our launch for the website and some special events. Having them here was fantastic not only for the extra hands, but to show the American side of the business those little extra special "Greek" touches when packaging customer purchases...like beautiful ribbons on their gift bags, with Greek words that translate to "Hope, Love, Luck" . After the Christmas rush, we took the time to build our direction for the business going into 2019. In addition to adding products to our Eshop, we have a full schedule for the year ahead of Pop Up appearances and festivals. We are even doing a few home parties, stay tuned for more information on that program. And now is also the time to expand our product catalogue. We attended an exhibition in Athens this month to source new suppliers, and connect with our existing ones. We are so happy with the artists whose work we support, and to share their beautiful products with the USA! The one thing we notice with some other Eshops in the USA of Greek products, they throw around appealing words like "handmade" or "from Greece"...and some of the products they are showing we are familiar with....the customer is not always getting the actual story on the origin of the product. To us, "Made in Greece" is an important distinction, and so meaningful when we say it. It represents the hard work of such talented artists, from a country that is very much a part of us. We are proud to show the work of any producer and artist you see on our website. So, as we continue to stay true to our mission, bringing the best of Greece to the USA, to "awaken your senses" to authentic Greece....you may be seeing some new faces on our artist page, more products from our current artists, and expansion on our producers for our Taste products. New packages have started to arrive, its like Christmas every month for us.... and we hope to bring that feeling to our customers every time they receive a package from us! Cheers to a fabulous 2019!
