How It started
So, in 2004, we started Chive to get back to what mattered to us; great design, well-made products and having fun.
Chive started by designing flower vases for wholesale.
Then we evolved, creating pots that are now in 6,000 retailers and every museum across North America.
Apparently there was a world-wide pandemic
In 2020, at the height of the pandemic in a moment that can only be politely described as utter madness, we decided to open a plant store in Toronto.
And, despite several lockdowns our direct-to-real people approach really took off, much to our relief, but not to our surprise
What's next?
Today, we’re based in Toronto, San Diego, Birmingham. Yet, despite our success, we have stayed small, and passionately anti-corporate, ensuring our love of design and quality never gets lost.
Now, our founder is anything but bored. But to this day, you won’t find anything in Terracotta at Chive.
