WELCOME TO OUR SHOP
In 2011, my sister had my first niece. Immediately, I needed to spoil her so I sought out to buy the cutest onesie I could find. Unfortunately, some of the cutest designs I found were poorly designed and worse, incredibly expensive.
After complaining to my wife about how I could design better onesies and on more premium materials, she replied as any typical supporting wife would:
"so, why don't you?"
The very next day, I stayed up all night, created 40 designs, and launched my company.
WHERE WE ARE TODAY
It has been quite the journey over the last several years. We learned so much about small business ownership, specifically, in regards to e-commerce and advertising.
We continue to expand our product line and offer new products but have taken a less aggressive stance in expansion.
