So....we have been rather busy firming up the production team in Brooklyn as well as sourcing as much as we can from the USA without breaking budget. For our first time out, we are pretty pleased with where we currently stand.
We will be using a sewing contractor out of Brooklyn and were able to source most of our materials from the USA. Our goal is to eventually source our entire materials list from this country. The problem remains that the minimum order quantities are HUGE - like 5000 yards. We'll get there, but its going to take a lot of selling. That's where you people, the consumers, come in.
Our second sample turned out great. We sent it to friendly family in Boca Raton who live at the beach and their boys suffer from bathing suit chafing. It received rave reviews. The kid loved it so much, he didn't want to take it off. No rash, no complaining at the beach - they said it was a must for family vacations. We can now confidently say we are ready to hit the market with this new design. Anti Chafe Swimwear coming your way!!
We should be able to launch by Memorial Day, if not a bit sooner. We'll keep you posted.
