Description:
South Beach Furs™ is a 100% natural unique choice in faux furs. Although not a fur it is just as luxurious. South Beach Furs™ are actually made from feathers. Millions of super fine down feathers are woven together to create the super soft 'fur' which keeps you warm by insulating your natural body heat.
The fur industry is a 13.5 billion dollar industry and growing. This product can compete with furs without the negative association that comes with real fur. The whole 'green' movement also makes the timing of South Beach Furs™ perfect. South Beach Furs™ are 100% natural & biodegradable, unlike faux fur which is made from oil and bad for our planet.
I have an overwhelming positive feedback with the product from consumers and industry professionals. I'm at the stage where i need to present it to the fashion industry in a big way and be able to deliver. A national chain upscale department store is interested in carrying the line in there fur salons. I need some help to be able to take the company to that level and beyond.
Here’s a little about me.
I am a Fashion Designer for over 25 yrs., specializing in designing fur and luxury fashions. I am a graduate of The Fashion Institute of Technology’s inaugural Fur Design and Marketing BS program. I've made millions for numerous companies through my designs and can do it with this company with a little help. I really understand the business of fashion.
