Description:
My name is Melissa. One Sun Swim started almost two years ago. It took off FAST and WELL. I sold every last piece of swimwear I personally made (in my home town Islamorada, Florida- few hundred pieces over that time). I recently partnered with a boutique owner and we opened up a second clothing boutique in Sarasota, Florida. Since then, funds have gone to the boutique (d-luxe) rather than One Sun unfortunately. Customers have be requesting suits for the past 6 months. I've been able to get out a few batches here and there but could not keep up with the demand. So, I've recently gone into small production in Ft. Lauderdale. The swimwear will be wholesaled to boutiques everywhere as well sold in house through our personally owned boutiques. After witnessing how *honestly* well its taken off so far, I am extremely confident in the brand. It really seems to have a 'vibe' that girls are buying into. (our customers support us so much, they basically do the marketing for us!) Obviously the goal is to take it to the next level and release a whole collection/raise volume of production. Looking for an investor thats looking to investor in a steady growing brand. ((Phone # removed))
