It all started
on one of those typical hot & humid days in
South Florida. Stacy and I
were sitting at the Mexican Cantina bar, I was drinking a
Dos Eqis and she sipped, ever so lady-like,
on her 46oz
Daiquiri. We discussed
boys, clothes and politics. I popped a salsa-laden chip in my
mouth as I bemoaned the fact that I didn't have enough time for exercise
in my schedule. Stacy, meanwhile shared her frustration at trying
to find a "cool" gift, in a town that, though offers a plethora of
seagull-glued-on-a-shell-magnets and
these,
does not seem to harbor any Day of The Dead skulls or Shag-like
kitty shirts or pin-up jewelry that didn't look like it was bought at
Wet Squeal
or Hot Myopic. It's seems that the
sub-culture products all share that unifying "Made in
Taiwan" label. And,
items that
actually are hand-made and
are haunting local shelving tends to cost ridiculous amounts of
money. Low-Brow definitely does not stand for Low-Priced!
So what are two
hipster crafty girls supposed to do about it?
"Well..." we thought slowly, the liquor buzz starting to take affect,
why not make our own products and give them away?! We
chatted excitedly about this concept, discussing whether we could
actually pull it off. But by the time the check came and we were
feeling around for spare change, the concept had changed just a little..."Let's make our
own products and SELL them!"
Yep, that's how
it all started.
But, now when we meet up for chips, salsa and Latin libations we discuss
business plans, product development, web presence, marketing
materials...
