Flash-sale site Fab.com opens virtual pop-up shop with Fast Company
(CBS) - If you've yet to get an invite to join Fab.com, you're really missing out. The flash-sale site is gaining the hearts of many, and it's only been around for roughly three months.
Fab.com shows no signs of stopping. Since launch on June 9, the truly-fabulous site has more than 600,000 members who have placed more than 80,000 orders of more than 160,000 products.
And who can blame them? The curators at Fab.com offer an eclectic mix of design objects at all price points across a wide range of categories that design fiends (and - well - anyone who has a good eye) would find lovely. We know it's going to be one of our prime destinations for the holiday shopping to come.
If you have flash-sale anxiety and don't like being rushed while you shop, have no fear. Today, Fab.com launched its first pop-up shop, Fast Company Magazine Present U.S. Design, which boasts American-made products from some of the country's best designers, like Herman Miller (pictured left), DODOcase (pictured left) and Apex.
You can get in on the action and select from the fabulous lot for the next 30 days. You'll find details on all of the designers in its latest issue of Fast Company, and with every purchase from the pop-up shop, buyers will receive a free subscription to the magazine.
Fab.com CEO Jason Goldberg, who has been the mastermind of other startups like socialmedian and Jobster, tells us that iPhone, iPad and Android apps are on the way - by the end of September, to be exact. We're stoked about the idea, though we fear finger-trigger happiness and a deflated bank account is going to be likely.
