What would you have done differently in 2006?
We would have outsourced our warehousing and distribution earlier in the year. It proved to be more cost-effective and allowed us better use of our in-house resources.
Your New Year's resolution?
To stay true to our core values and make simple, effective products that are elegant and classic. To continue to innovate and create truly exciting products as our distribution expands in the U.S. and Europe.
