Company Profile: Ore´ Makes Happy Products for Good People™
Graphic Designer-turned-entrepreneur Lisa Lowe established Ore´ in 1987 with a desire to create quality home products that are as fun as they are functional.Ore’s aesthetic combines uncluttered design with contemporary graphics and colors, and the results can be seen throughout the company’s complete line of “Happy Products for Good People™.” Peachy Deegan recently tried the Shower Curtain and Shower Cap "Under The Sea" and cannot understand how anyone could have a bad day when it is started with such a cheerful shower! Don't you want to start your day with this:
Three brands are at the heart of Ore’ Originals: the SugarBooger® brand for babies, children and parents, the Living Goods® Lifestyle Collection of dorm and home accessories, bath items and tote bags, and the Ore´ Pet™ line of essential pet products.
Product inspiration comes from real life, and each item is designed to fill the needs of the people and pets that depend on us for care. The company’s manufacturing principles focus on environmentally friendly and recycled materials, quality construction, and providing a great value at a fair price.
The company is located in Long Beach California, and operates out of a renovated industrial facility. Ore’ customers include national and international specialty retailers and eclectic, independent stores in the U.S. and abroad who cater to fun kids, people and pets all around the world.
Bio: Lisa Lowe, Founder & President of Ore´
When she was a kid, Lisa told her Mom she loved art and wanted to own a company. Barely out of college, she launched Ore´ with a line of recycled-rubber bulletin boards designed, assembled and shipped from her garage in Long Beach, California.
Lisa earned her degree in Graphic Design from Cal Poly SLO, and has spent her time ever since identifying product niches and creating solutions to make the challenges of everyday life easier to handle. Lisa’s first product was a recycled organizer board to help keep her design ideas moving forward, and it’s still in production today. From shower curtains to laundry totes to office items, Lisa’s LivingGoods® Lifestyle Collection provides functional answers to everyday questions in the home, office and dorm environment.
The handsome English Bull Terrier gracing many of the product labels within the Ore´ Pet™ Collection is Lisa’s beloved
Stanley, a friendly prankster who is the inspiration behind collection. Although Stanley is no longer with us, his legacy lives on in the Ore´ Pet™ Collection of pet placemats, bowls and pet accessories and gifts.
When Lisa was blessed by the birth of her son in 2003, she saw the need for a line of design-minded baby products with an Ore’ aesthetic and subsequently introduced the complete line of SugarBooger® products for babies, children and their parents.
With 20 years experience making “Happy Products for Good People™,” Lisa’s company is still located in Long Beach, but now occupies a renovated industrial facility housing Ore’s office and warehousing operations, and Lisa and her family live just a short bike ride away. Despite having at least two million and one things to get done every day, Lisa’s zest for life and enthusiasm for the many tasks at hand continues to thrive and inspire those around her.
