We've been in business the same amount of time. Struggling at making sales. I haven't had a single online order but the storenvy page has helped me show the designs to friends in other states and then they buy directly from me. It does get old sending emails in hope they support you. You start feeling like a nuisance. Haha. I know I do. I'm glad I read this story. Gives me motivation. Keep up the good work and send the pics to Greenloop. Wow. We’ve been in business the same amount of time. Struggling at making sales.

What an excellent, honest write-up of all that it takes to get a line started. Well, really just a smidge of ALL that it takes, as we both know... but you've distilled it here very well. I love hearing about your process starting this, and even more feeling your passion and dedication. I think you've done such an incredible job of creating a beautiful line, down to the website, marketing materials and the voice that accompanies your brand. Your commitment to learning, and continually sharing your process transparently, is fantastic, and very inspiring. I'm a big fan and here to encourage you every step of the way! :) Hi Janette!

I just wanted to know that I loved loved loved reading about how flp started up. I've been bouncing a few ideas around in my head about a boutique but I haven't pounced on anything just because I know how much practice/dedication/sweat & tears goes into launching something like this. Anyway, that first bit about the two different types of business models was extremely interesting; I never thought of or much less knew about the business side of fashion so it was all incredibly fascinating to me. :) usually when I stalk you on this site I don’t comment…BUT…
