OUR STORY
It all started in 2011 with Minky Blankets. Gliz was a Facebook and Etsy-driven hobby, fuelled by a passion for sewing. We operated out of our home, where customers would stop by to browse fabrics and choose custom prints for their blankets. As the years went by and the Gliz community continued to grow, we knew we were becoming much more than just a blanket company.
After receiving countless requests from customers to create a baby car seat cover, Susanna and Elizabeth finally went back to the drawing board.
“I got so inspired by it, it was as if I received a calling. Looking back, everything seemed to fall into place. The enthusiasm was overwhelming, and I was so impressed with the outcome that I practically worked 24/7 to bring this cover to market.” — Susanna
After years of designing, testing, and perfecting, the Gliz Design shower-cap style cover became a fit like no other.
Fast-forward 15 years. Using the feedback, encouragement, and reviews from thousands of families, we believe we finally did it—and more. With the help of Paul, we officially launched the Gliz Design website in 2019, creating the home for the brand you see today.
What started as a few handmade blankets cut around a kitchen table has grown into something we could never have imagined. Through it all, our mission has remained the same: guided by faith, creating safe, reliable products that help families express themselves, make memories, and feel proud of what they own.
Thank you for being a part of our story.
