Description:
I started my own Equestrian Apparel Business several years ago. It was an immediate success and in 2005 I was bought-out by JPC Equestrian, the largest manufacturer and distributor in the industry. They have kept me on as the designer and I now travel overseas twice each year to work on new products. It was through this process, and after having a baby of my own, I realized one of the amazing fabrics we use in the equestrian industry would be perfect for baby apparel. I have since developed my own line and have been extremely successful selling retail through my website. I have been getting tons of positive feedback & am ready to take it wholesale and sell directly to major retailers, but unfortunately do not have the funding to do this. This baby line is the FIRST of it's kind, using a patented technical fabic that is water, stain & wrinkle resisant, hypoallegergenic, just to name a few. There isn't a doubt in my mind I am onto something HUGE here and THIS IS WHERE I NEED HELP and FAST!
