MY STORY
Welcome to Once Upon A Wine Charm. This business has simple beginnings. In Dec 2017, my husband and I were hosting a holiday party for friends. I was in a difficult position about what could be done to distinguish our guest’s cocktail/wine glasses. This couldn’t be just any glass marker, I wanted this to be unique and classy. After doing a scan on google, I came across some beautiful brooch designs. These brooches kicked off my creative process. That’s how I came up with this chic, classy and elegant idea. It was a smash hit at our holiday party. My friends insisted I make more so they could start placing their own orders, and that’s exactly what I did. It was thrilling to see my friends appreciate the quality of my product and the innovative approach to a common problem that these charms provide. These charms can be used in a variety of locations, ranging from luxurious corporate gatherings, to a sorority social event to just an evening of relaxation with a delicious beverage of your choice.
In March 2018, my sister and niece came to visit us in Arizona. This was going to be their first experience with the Wine Charms. She absolutely loved them and ordered several sets for her friends in New York for Mother’s Day. They were a great hit in NY as well. This encouraged me to begin selling my product, but the business still needed a name. My brilliant niece immediately said, “Titi, I have the perfect name for your shop. How about OnceUponAWineCharm” and just like that, my business was born!
