At Creative Co-Op, passion is at the heart of all we do - passion for product, passion for quality, and passion for customer success. It is this passion that grew a company founded in 2001 into the dynamic, trend-setter that it is today. This passion ensures we will continue to lead the industry for years to come.
Product - At our core, we live and breathe product. Our design team travels the world for inspiration, taking the best elements of their experience and translating them into a creative, unique assortment that caters to a broad variety of tastes. Whether you're a small boutique or a larger furniture store, our product line has something for you – and at price points that work.
Quality - We strive to create product of the highest quality standard, and go to great lengths to ensure that you’ll be proud to sell our merchandise. Both abroad and in the US, we adhere to strict quality control measures, but should you ever encounter an issue, we will do everything possible to rectify the situation as quickly as possible. Our customer service team strives for continual improvement, with a single goal – to be the best in the industry.
Customer Success - Most importantly, we realize that our success is defined first and foremost by our customers’ success. Through product that consistently sells thru, high in-stock rates, the Creative Co-Op Advantage Program and unmatched customer service, we strive to do all we can to provide a platform for that success.
