Starting today we’re adding videos to Fab, all around telling the stories that make the designs.

It’s still hard to believe that we launched Fab less than a year ago, on June 9, 2011.
4.25 million members and 2 million orders later, we’re still focused on our one thing:

Today, with Fab 3.0 we’re taking it even further.
Before I jump into the features I just wanted to...
