The tag history: founder norman glassberg, an nyu graduate, started his career as a biochemist. after nine months in the lab, he hung up his lab coat when a friend introduced him to the decorative gift industry. following this path, norman spent the next three years as a sales rep and sales manager on the east coast. as careers take shape, norman sought out his niche as one of the original partners of i.d.g. (international designs group), now known as pottery barn. in 1975, norman moved to chicago and formed his own rep agency, tag. it didn't take long for norman to realize that the future of tag was bigger and brighter than his rep agency. in 1976, norman met two french women who manufactured novelty candles in bordeaux, france. they offered him exclusive distribution in the usa, an offer he couldn't refuse. and just like that, tag wholesale was born.
