History
Tea Collection was co-founded in 2002 by Emily Meyer and Leigh Rawdon through funding from angel investors. The inspiration came after a trip Meyer took to Brussels, Belgium, who stated "I[who?] found was pink bunny-themed clothing. I wanted something more sophisticated and modern. (No offense to pink bunnies.) That experience inspired me to envision a brand that celebrates the beauty of world cultures through fashion and lifestyle products. I called it Tea, because tea the drink is something shared by all cultures. It evokes warmth, wisdom, and timelessness—values that I wanted for the collection."[3][verify]
Since 2012, the company has had a 24 percent compound annual growth rate and seen its headcount more than triple. Revenue in 2014 was more than $40 million, nearly a $10 million increase from the year before.[4]
Awards and Recognitions
Co-founder Leigh Rawdon received the Visa Technology Award from the San Francisco Small Business Network in May 2010.[5]
Since 2007, Tea Collection has been in the Inc. (magazine) list of top 100 consumer products and retail companies.[6]
