Allen Designs - Michelle Allen

Allen Designs is a collection that aims to put a smile on people's faces with creative, high-quality and functional products.

Artist Michelle Allen was looking for the right career when she found her heart fulfilled making whimsical household products that she sold at the local street market in Encinitas, California.

After moving to the Northwestern United States, Michelle Allen began selling her wares at the famous Portland Saturday Market, and over the next few years she began selling directly to retail stores that saw her products there. In 2000, Michelle began participating in the wholesale markets in LA, Chicago, Dallas, New York and Atlanta.

Decades later, Allen Designs, now part of the Enesco Group, continues to sell to stores throughout the United States and also distributes its products in Europe and Australia to retailers around the world.
