      • About.

        Hi, I'm Dan Fallak, and I am the founder of Versatile Brands Inc.

         

        In the past 10 years I've built and launched many brands by relying on my sharp eye for market trends, an understanding of consumer behaviour and my instincts that tell me what kinds of things people want to purchase.

        VBI is my launching pad for the products and brands that I develop and believe have a place in the market. While we continue to build the brands currently launched, we're also constantly working to discover and develop more things that people will want.

        To date, we're proud to have sold hundreds of thousands of products direct to customers online, in person and via our wholesale partners. VBI products have graced shelves in over 1,000 retail doors across North America, including major retail chains like Urban Outfitters, Saks 5th Ave, Indigo, Marshalls & TJ Maxx.
