Description:
I have been successfully running a small apparel company out of Southern Maine for 2 years now. We have a great local customer base, and sold out of several small boutiques in the area. We are ready for the next step, and that is to move into stores around the country. We've been drawing / digitally designing everything ourselves and sending out our artwork to get printed at a local screen printing company. We've been paying everything with our own money and returning a small profit on every run. We are confident that if we could provide large runs of our clothing we could get into shops all over the United States. We have a catalog designed, a fully functional website built on a content management system for scalability in the future, and some of the best and most talented young individuals fresh out of college looking to be successful entrepreneurs. We are confident that we have the ability and talent to become one of the hottest brands in the urban apparel industry, alongside such names as Mishka, 10 Deep, Akomplice Clothing, Acrylick, and OBEY.
