Celebrating 2023 | A Special Christmas Letter from Melissa

Celebrating 2023 | A Special Christmas Letter from Melissa


As we get ready to turn the page on 2023, and look forward to all of the newness that 2024 will bring, we wanted to share with you a special Christmas message from our owner, Melissa: 




2023 has come and gone, and all I can think is - wow! This year was filled with ups and downs, which are to be expected when you’re running a small business. The blood, sweat, and tears we put into designing our line for the next season are always worth that roller coaster when we can finally get them into your hands. But this year felt extra special. Not only did we expand our line to include more of your favorites, but your constant feedback helped us navigate through crazy trends, questionable colors, and stay true to what we want this brand to be about. And that’s you!


We want you to look as great as you feel. We want you to have the softest, most comfortable, most flattering styles possible. And we want to invite you into a bigger mission to help those in need, all around the world, as you shop with us. 


As we settle into the Christmas season and reflect on all God’s done for us, I want to take this chance to say simply - thank you. Thank you for your consistent support and encouragement. Thank you for choosing to spend your hard earned money on clothing that makes a difference, and was designed with you in mind. Thank you for helping this small business support an incredible team of people who love to serve. And thank you for pushing me along when the days are long and hard. God gave me a dream and this “accidental company” 12 years ago, and having your support truly means the world to me. 


We wish you a Christmas full of joy and peace, and a very blessed New Year. I can’t wait to show you what we have coming for you in 2024! 


With grace, 


Melissa

Merry Christmas, Melissa, and all of the wonderful people that make up G&L! Your company has truly been a blessing to me. I was never too much into clothing and rarely purchased anything new. But now with your clothes, I have never felt so good inside and out! And to know that you’re blessing others with your success and God’s guidance, makes this company WAY above and beyond any other company I’ve ever purchased from. I’m a G&L supporter and fan for life. I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and all of God’s blessings in your lives and business. Thank you for all you do!

Love you and your family and this company! My closet loves me again and it’s not a chore to look put together and fashion forward but not compromising my style and my personality. Love that your company gives back and that you put Christ first!!! Merry Christmas to you and yours 🙌🏻

Merry Christmas Melissa, your family, and the entire G&L team. I have followed your company and have been purchasing your clothing for years now. I truly appreciate all that you and your team does for your customers! Your desire to allow us to help guide your products is amazing! I have never seen a company more willing to have your customers play such a major role in product design. I love the community y’all created with the VIP Group also! I love your mission of providing for others here and overseas in need. Thank you for giving back and for giving God the glory! I pray you all have a beautiful Christmas and a blessed 2024!!
