When my twins were born I was so disappointed in the clothes available for them that I started fantasizing about designing a line just for boys. My sister, Lauren, was not very happy in her job at the time so we talked about this idea a lot, and ultimately decided to be uncharacteristically entrepreneureal and go for it. It was a bold move since neither of us had fashion or manufacturing experience, but we had faith in the vision. We had a great time over the next three years learning the ropes and creating a line that we were proud of. As the business grew so did the demands, and when we lost our manufacturer (and then our replacement manufacturer) within weeks of my daughter's birth, we sadly decided to call it quits. We still think about starting it back up again...more and more lately since Lauren's son Noah is now wearing our clothes and looking great. Maybe one day...
