Allen Designs is a collection that strives to bring smiles to people's faces through creative, high-quality and functional products.
Artist Michelle Allen was searching for just the right career when she found her heart being filled while creating whimsical home products to sell at the local street fair in Encinitas, California.
One year later, Michelle, her husband Gary and then one-year-old daughter, moved to the Northwest USA and began selling her wares at the famed year-round Portland Saturday Market. Over the next few years, she attended juried art fairs throughout the US and began selling directly to retail stores who saw her products there.
In 2000, with the birth of their second daughter, Michelle and Gary began attending the wholesale show markets in LA, Chicago, Dallas, New York and Atlanta.
Decades later and Allen Designs, now part of the Enesco group, continues to sell to stores all over the USA along with distribution in Europe and Australia, reaching retailers around the globe.
