Company Profile: Alice's Accents

Alice's Accents is the type of business I absolutely adore. They are taking something old-school: wall hangings and using the internet to sell them. It's kind of a 15th century merchant meets 21st century marketer and I love it. Alice's Accents has tons of products other than wall hangings, but this one really caught my eye. You have to wonder if people in markets back in the 1400's ever realized just how far and wide the appeal of tapestries would be.

Take some time to browse through their Tapestry Wall Hangings when you get a chance. This is a great concept and an online store that has a lot of appeal for a key demographic. Their site design is pleasing, items are easy to find and prices are very reasonable. In fact, they even offer a 10% discount for new customers, so check out their wall hangings, as well as their other products and see what you think.

They've also done a good job stocking products that appeal to a wide variety of consumers. My favorite was the Longhorn Steer Collection Grande Tapestry Wall Hanging, that brought a little old western flair into an old world art form.
