After 5 years of incredible success through design, manufacturing, wholesale distribution, and retail sales, Patricia Ann Designs is excited to launch their new offspring company ~ The PAD Showroom.
How it Began
To review from their Spring 08 Press Release, in January of this year, “the girls” (as they’re often called) or the “blonde Mother Daughter Duo” Mary Patricia & Shelley Ann began supporting their community of local moms by helping to develop and promote their child-inspired collections. Shelley and Pat leased a 1000 SF showroom in an Orange County business park to run their expanding day to day business of Patricia Ann Designs as well as to offer their loyal OC patrons a place to shop on a regular basis rather than referring them to their website, www.PatriciaAnnDesigns.com .
Sharing the Love
After about a month, the girls graciously took on about a dozen local “Mom-Preneuers” under their wing. They proudly showcased their collections in their OC showroom, mentored them in business protocol, even took their products on the road to small and large expos to sell, endorse and market to OC retail customers.
Mary Patricia and Shelley Ann feel blessed to have had these women as faithful patrons and friends of Patricia Ann Designs over the years and were looking forward to 2008 being a year to “pay it forward” by assisting in growing these moms’ at-home-hobbies into successful name-sakes like Patricia Ann Designs. Looking back, it was just 5 short years ago that Patricia Ann Designs born out of a garage with some remnant fabric and a good Singer sewing machine.
What better way to help these amazing Mom-Preneurs take their businesses to the next level then to officially endorse their designs and market them to the trade nationally?! So after many months of hard work, detailed planning, and thorough preparation, The PAD Showroom was conceived!
A New Horizon for PAD
For the last five years, P.A.D. was well-known as Patricia Ann Designs. But now, the initials P.A.D. take on a new meaning with the PAD Showroom.
P ~ Passion; A ~ Artistry ~ D ~ Dedication. The PAD Showroom is an Orange County based showroom representing the finest Mom-Preneurs’ Chic & Unique Designs For The Posh Baby, Toddler & Mom.
With the good news spreading rapidly across the country, the PAD Showroom is elated to be showcasing 15 incredible lines ~ all child-inspired and mom-created! Some of the Mom-Preneurs are new to the industry, others are talented veterans. But share a common desire ~ expressing their creativity while building a flourishing business for the betterment of their families. The assortment of showcased lines boasts exceptional quality, unique design and amazing variety with an already successful celebrity following!
