OUR STORY

My Ugly Christmas Sweater, Inc. is located in Killington, Vermont. Company founder Anne Marie Blackman had been a stay-at-home mom for 15 years, and with her children heading to college was looking for a new focus. She began crafting ‘ugly’ Christmas sweaters after researching search trends on the internet, looking for a product to sell during the holiday season. 

After reading about the 'Ugly Christmas Sweater Party' phenomenon and the prizes offered to the people wearing the most outrageous sweaters, Anne Marie focused on finding the most unique holiday knits from the past, and creating (embellishing) sweaters so that they would be contenders for the '1st Place Most Ugly' party prize. 

Anne Marie tested the market for her over-the-top sweaters on eBay and found them to be instant sellouts.  My Ugly Christmas Sweater, Inc. was incorporated in 2010 (registered trademark) and Anne Marie received copyright status for her ‘Wacky Santa’ sweater design. She created a website to drive traffic to her eBay store, and in 2010 twice had eBay’s ‘top shared’ items on Facebook.  With 75% of her eBay traffic coming from her own website, she left eBay in 2011, and developed a new eCommerce site to showcase her unique products. 

The My Ugly Christmas Sweater, Inc. website received tremendous online traffic during the 2012 holiday season, with almost 7 million page views.  The over-the-top sweater and dress collections were wildly successful.  Company founder Anne Marie Blackman received extensive press coverage with growing interest in both the MUCS products as well as the entrepreneurial story behind the business.

My Ugly Christmas Sweater, Inc. was a question on the popular game show "JEOPARDY!" in December 2011.
   

Sweaters from My Ugly Christmas Sweater, Inc. are sold worldwide and to customers of all ages. Our collections not only include the over-the-top hideously ugly embellished sweaters that customers have grown to expect from MUCS, but also include a full line of classic vintage sweaters and retro 80’s classics.  Whether you’re looking for an obnoxious sweater that will bring you home the ‘Most Ugly’ prize, or a tame classic sweater to wear to an office party, My Ugly Christmas Sweater, Inc. can deliver.
