THE ABOUT LIVING JOURNEY STARTED IN 2006 WHEN OWNER AND CREATIVE DIRECTOR GARY HOGAN FOUND A DEFICIENCY IN THE WEST OF SCOTLAND'S MARKET FOR A CURATE RANGE OF INSPIRED HOMEWARE & GIFTS.
October 2006 saw the opening of the first store. The website is undergoing its most significant makeover to date, nearly 16 years later, with the intro of more than 40 new brand names and categories, consisting of furniture, lighting, and upscale pet dog accessories.
Gary began his career in retail after working behind the scenes in movies and television. Given that he was increased in a family organization, it was just an issue of time until he made a decision to adhere to in his papa's footprints and open his own company. Gary continues to lead the firm's getting division with an eagle eye for the newest styles and items.
The brands that About Living carries is always expanding, and we are thrilled to welcome some new brands to the family, such as Baobab Collection, Blomus, Jonathan Adler, Menu, Noble Isle, Indigenous Union, and Ortigia Sicilia.
NOT YOUR COMMON HOMEWARE AND GIFT RETAILER, ABOUT LIVING IS. The company was founded on a passion for interior design and is dedicated to fusing irreversible style with house living.
Our team of knowledgeable buyers aims to provide hand-selected, globally inspired gifts and décor in every style, for every occasion.
OUR PURPOSE
Our goal is to provide our clients with an exquisitely curated assortment of gifts and home decor from top designers in a single retail location. A selection of the products we have available on our on-line store are displayed in our boutique store found on Glasgow's Southside.
OUR SOURCED DESIGN
We draw inspiration from emerging global interior and gift concepts. We are always investigating emerging trends that emerge from the most recent interior design shows and fashion runways. Our buyers journey across the globe to source our current collections and cultivate connections with our brand associates. This season's botanical motifs, which incorporate exotic succulents with vibrant colours, and the understated elegance of marble and rock indoor accents are both highly appealing to us.
Featured Brand: Baba Babb Collection
Similar to the baobabs that loom over the African savannah, Baobab's home fragrance line is renowned for its expansive and unique designs. With a selection of diffusers and candles crafted from hand-blown glass or metal upholstered in priceless leather, this Belgian brand supports European expertise while adhering to its core values of craftsmanship and excellence.
Their raw materials are chosen with the utmost care: Grasse is where their scents are developed and perfected, and their glass, leather, and mineral wax are sourced from Poland, Germany, and Italy. Each candle is entirely unique since it is hand-poured into glass that has actually been hand-blown by skilled craftsmens. Being one of the few unique UK stores of this gorgeous brand name excites us.
