Description:
We are the only company specializing in Authentic South American Women's "Butt Lift" (Levanta Cola") jeans store in Northern California. These jeans are available online, but because of the stretch and unique fit, various vendors, the sizes vary greatly from woman to woman and vendor to vendor. Please review my YELPS for information about our business integrity and our web site at: (URL removed) for a view at our products and information about our inception. I studied these jeans for 2 years before we went into business with them, holding focus groups and product reviews. Shark Tank the television show has contacted us, they are interested in our product but we are not "Patented" yet, and this seems to be a requirement. Currently, SXE Apparel alone is simply seeking a small investment for working capital to purchase more inventory and extensive marketing.
SXE Apparel has paired up with Pinch-Me-Jeans who currently is in Medellin Colombia having our prototypes made for our own line. We will have these prototypes back in the USA in July 2012. She has been in Colombia overseeing the highest quality cotton, hardware, designs, and choosing a reputable and able manufacturer for our jeans. We plan on having two lines. Currently SXE Apparel's customer base is ages 15-96. We are dividing this to have Pinch-Me-Jeans service the more "edgy, younger and daring" client. While SXE Apparel will service our more conservative, yet modern and high fashion consumer. We will maintain our SXE Apparel store front in Danville CA as our "Flagship location" but plan on having both lines carried at larger stores such as Bloomingdales, Lord & Taylor, and higher end boutiques on both the East and West Coast.
