Nothing is more exciting than seeing our designs being worn & played by children in the spotlight or by children who’s parents are in the spotlight. Keep your eye out; you never know where you might spot a Great Pretender!Â

Recipient of the Women's Entrepreneurship Strategy Fund
We were overjoyed when Vincent Yang of the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario/Government of Canada called to inform us that our application to their Women’s Entrepreneurship Strategy Fund for a $100,000 grant had been approved!
These funds contributed towards the purchase of an Automated Textile Cutting System. Our team recently completed their training and we are now fully operational with increased capacity for manufacturing here at our Point Edward, Ontario, Canada headquarters.
We owe a debt of gratitude to Joeanna DeMarco-Bolce of Ontario’s Ministry of Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade for her invaluable assistance in this achievementÂ
