Mally Designs, the business, is for sale!

I am parting ways with my business that I built from the ground up. With 20+ years of passion behind it, I created Mally Bibs, the original leather baby bib in 2005 and have sold my leather bibs and other small leather goods to over 250 baby boutiques and gift shops in North America, as well as at high-end juried craft shows across Canada including the One of a Kind Show in Toronto, Art Market in Calgary, Circle Craft in Vancouver and Signatures Shows in Edmonton, Winnipeg, Regina and Ottawa to name a few, as well as in the USA and around the world online through my e-commerce website mallydesigns.com. 

 

In recent years, my focus has shifted to other priorities, and it’s time to pass this business on to someone who will take it and continue to do great things with it! 

 

Mally Bibs have been featured in magazines, including American Baby, Chatelaine, Today’s Parent, Pregnancy and Newborn, Canadian Living, Canadian Family, and won an iParenting Media award.
 

This business comes with a loyal customer base of regular purchasers. Although the business has not been a focus in recent years, the website still gets monthly orders from long-time customers. I have organically built a customer reach of over 5000 newsletter subscribers, over 5000 instagram followers, and over 6000 facebook followers.
