Q: Investorideas.com
For our followers that don't know your line, Accoutrements, can you tell us the story behind the brand and how it came to be?
A: Heidi Fortes, Founder
I started Accoutrements as a side business 2 years ago while I was running my tech business. I thought I was going to make a little bit of side income and a year later I've closed my tech business and I'm running Accoutrements full-time because of the rapid growth. It began out of a need. I was in my condo having a Sunday afternoon sesh when I realized that everything I used to consume was ugly. My cheap plastic grinder, my pipes, nothing really reflected who I was and how I lived. That's when I started doing some research into what it would take to make these everyday tools fit better into my lifestyle. After much experimentation and focus groups Accoutrements came to be and I've never looked back.
Q: Investorideas.com
Tell us about some of your Accoutrements products and accessories including the famous 'grinder' that everyone (including us) after your event was obsessing about?
A: Heidi Fortes, Founder
Accoutrements is the only affordable luxury brand in North America. We have a line of 6 signature products that all can be classified as a home accessory first and a cannabis accessory second. Accoutrements is also uniquely focused on discretion which is why we place such a high importance on premium packaging for every product. Everything from our grinders to our Reign Extender are engineered to be the best in their category, while still looking beautiful and discrete. The piece that is closest to my heart is the Reign Extender. It was completely designed by myself, is a fully 3D printed piece and carries all the qualities that the Accoutrements brand embodies.
Q: Investorideas.com
You have recently joined the portfolio for Lifford Cannabis for your accessories. Tell us about how this has been beneficial for your brand and the synergies between Accoutrements and Lifford Cannabis?
A: Heidi Fortes, Founder
We partnered with Lifford Cannabis because we recognize the value that Lifford brings to the cannabis space. They have established relationships in wine and spirits and we know that those relationships and expertise are 100% applicable to cannabis as well. I personally also have a lot of faith in and respect for Lisa Campbell. She's shouldered a great deal of risk speaking up about cannabis legalization prior to the act and through that has become a person in the space that is highly knowledgeable of the regulations and someone that everyone respects.
Q: Investorideas.com
What to-date has been your favorite aspect of the cannabis sector and what are you looking forward to most as the sector grows larger in the next few years?
A: Heidi Fortes, Founder
My favorite thing so far has been the equal opportunity that the space has really brought to entrepreneurs. I was able to take an idea and execute on it fairly quickly because of the open nature and desire of people in this space to try new things. What I'm looking forward to the most in the next few years is being along for the ride as the whole industry just continues to blow up and especially how the US market unfolds.
