Description: For about a year now I have been saving as much money as possible from my weekly paycheck with aspirations to start my own clothing company. Putting as much money as I could aside to save up and purchase what was needed to get started; such as printed tees, tags, business licenses, etc. I believe what the brand stands for is much different than others out there. I want to instill in consumers a positive way of thinking and always striving and chasing their dreams. Along with this, the designs stay with the current trends and styles, but retain a certain individuality by putting twists into the designs; such as unigue colors and life messages. With the company, I intend to create a lifestyle brand of being positive, which I believe no company thoroughly promotes. With more capital I plan to begin pitching more clothes to retailers, and starting a website in which consumers can view our stands, our goals, and our products. OUR STAND: We all stand for something. Gifted is the company that stands for the ones who at difficult times maintain a positive, optimistic view of clarity. The brand supports those who dig down deep enough to surpass the negatives and pull up a positive, the people who strive for that something different and continue to pursue there passions, regardless of what. We provide a motivating mentality through the lifestyle we portray. We reflect the nature and attitude of a “Gifted” mind state; one who chases their dreams and constantly perceives the positives in life, because we believe that is the most important thing. We are building from the ground up, and we only plan to progress.
