And I believe every lady should follow her passion because where passion is, success will be also. So in October 2004, Touch of Sass was born. A lot of people ask me where I got the name. Although there were several inspirations, I just feel that the name is what this company is all about. . . adding a ‘Touch of Sass’ to your already fabulous look. It’s about helping you find accessories that highlight your own unique style, beauty and individuality. I believe every woman has her own ‘sass appeal’ and we have something for everyone.
