Description:
Marlaina Stone creates statement-making accessories for luxury and mid-market consumers, addressing growing retailer and consumer demands for more exclusive and unique accessories in couture and ready-to-wear.
We address the growing global jewelry market, which is expected to approach $230B in 2015, by offering two distinctly branded product lines. The Marlaina Stone Collection is a couture line featuring hand-crafted, one-of-a-kind necklaces, bracelets, and rings, differentiated not only by the uniqueness of each piece, but also by an exclusive experience akin to investing in a piece of art. We are presently seeking capital to launch a ready-to-wear line of high quality costume jewelry and leather cuffs. With the new line, Second Verse, we aim to reach a wider buying audience while achieving long-term profitability through higher production volumes and lower costs. The couture collection is currently sold through high-end boutiques throughout the United States and internationally, and we are actively engaged in discussions with department stores and specialty retail chains that have expressed interest in carrying the ready-to-wear line.
