Brenda V. Harrington was puzzled when she looked around Minneapolis and the surrounding areas in 1994. She couldn’t find representation of her rich and colorful African American heritage on the retail shelves. With no manufacturers willing to launch a line of Carmel-color images, Harrington’s dream soon became her drive to create them.

She put together a trailblazing team of designers and artists who carved out images in tones of coffee that celebrated sweet potato pie and pig tails plaits.

By 2002, Harrington became the sole owner of Wishes Incorporated and her dream has come true with a full line of affordable gift items. Located now in Lawrenceville, Georgia. The popular home-base business produces and distributes an exclusive line of gift items.

With her collection of beauty hues, textured hair and joyful faces, Harrington’ s line satisfies shoppers while supporting her own mission:

“To produce, manufacture, and distribute affordable, quality merchandise to be enjoyed and appreciated by future generations of all ethnic groups.”
