Monday, September, 2019 – Blended Designs (BD), the high quality travel accessories brand, has entered the business-to-business space, expanding transactions beyond the consumer to develop and design signature, quality and versatile products for other businesses.
Blended Designs’ new business-to-business practice comes after a string of partnerships and demands from other brands who specifically requested co-branded products and/or products of their own after noticing the buzz surrounding BD’s very popular backpacks, overnight bags, and other accessories.
“We are excited to take the Blended Designs business to the next level,” says Blended Designs founder and CEO Casey Kelley. “Our consumers have raved about the distinguishing attributes of our products, and we are pleased to now offer the signature qualities that have become synonymous with our brand to other companies and brands with discerning consumers who want the best in top-notch bags.”
Blended Designs makes this announcement upon striking a deal to manufacture premium back packs for the hugely successful Support Black Colleges brand, who, up until now, were primarily known for hoodies and t-shirts. This new partnership officially aids in building the BD business model to stream revenue from other sources, including their everyday consumer.
In previous years, Blended Designs has partnered with various other businesses, including, a 2018 deal with the NBA’s Golden State Warriors, where BD was selected by the championship-winning team to design and create backpacks for team members and the team’s philanthropic efforts. Blended Designs first burst onto the fashion and culture scenes in 2017 with travel bags and school backpacks featuring distinct characters of color. Since its inception, Blended Designs has gone on to be a back-to-school must-have for students of all ages, a celebrity favorite, and a million dollar band!
