Fable is the direct-to-consumer home accessories lifestyle brand. They make it easy for Millenials to outfit their home. Fable creates artisanal pieces at an accessible price. Unlike traditional dinnerware retailers, their ceramics and flatware are intentionally designed to be timeless and without unnecessary price markups.
Not Your Average Home Accessories
In November 2019, Fable launched their dinnerware line that has been incredibly popular with Millennials. Within two days of their launch, they had completely sold out. Since then, they have been accepted into the accelerator program Techstars Toronto and now have over 2,000 customers. They’re also looking forward to their new product lines launching this summer.
Competition and Community
For Fable, it was a no-brainer to enter the New Ventures BC Competition. They wanted to become a part of the community that New Ventures BC has established as they are always searching for new, smart people to talk to and share the Fable story with.
Taking the Plunge
Having the courage to start the business was the biggest hurdle for Fable’s founders. A lot of people have great ideas and passion but taking the risk and starting a business is the most challenging step. Over the next 5 years, Fable is aiming to become a household name and a brand that people are proud to support. They hope to make the experience of outfitting and upgrading customers homes not only easy, but enjoyable too.
