“Asking customers to wait longer was rough for us and for them.”

"Our move to Shopify Plus opened up more channels and enabled us to shift to a multi-store model to serve different markets. We opened the US store in 2020 to build the brand there. And this has been further entrenched by the opening of the San Diego retail outlet, which runs off the US expansion store."

"Our customers expect high-end glassware without the high price tag, and they expect the same from our products’ shipping costs. Managed Markets enables us to keep our promise to customers and stay true to our brand, no matter who’s buying our glasses or where they live."

“I studied retail and consumer studies at University of Arizona and directly out of school worked for Nordstrom doing special events and sales promotion across a couple of states and many different stores. It was a great training ground for me to really learn and to bring that forward into the other businesses I've been involved in.”

"You have to shake off that feeling of heaviness. You just really have to carry on. You've got three other mouths to feed."

"I don't even really want to think of those days. It was damn hard."

"My family had, not nothing, but we were a humble family. My dad would drive me past houses and be like, you're gonna have these things some day."

"I pretty much became vegan overnight. I got a little juicer and started making these radical combinations at home."

"We had an order from Prince William and Kate Middleton when they were just having their first baby. We didn't realize it was such a big deal at first."

“When we started our Kickstarter campaign, we only had one women's jacket. We found out 60% of our customer base was women. We only had a bomber at the time and they wanted a three-quarter jacket. We had to quickly scramble and design one in a day and a half."

“We love clothing and product design,” David explains. “Not only are we really excited about getting to make things that represent who we are, and represent who our students are, but at the same time we know the product is making an impact. We call it a win-win. We get to do things that we're passionate about that are also making a sustainable impact in a community that needs solutions.”

“At that time, there was essentially a punk rock economy emerging in the Bay Area. I was in the middle of a strong, counterculture community of fiercely independent people who were finding ways to pursue their ideals and passions as a career, rather than work for someone else.”

“When I was growing up, my parents were deal finders. We always bought used cars, we always bought used clothes. When I tried on a dress and fell in love with it, it was way out of my budget, but I just felt like, ‘I know I can find this used.’ Back then there was really only eBay or Craigslist. There wasn't a platform specific for wedding dresses. What I found is a lot of women back then were using The Knot forums to sell and buy dresses. I saw an opportunity for a platform for women looking to do the same thing I was doing."

“Shopify Capital was the life line my business needed this summer. As you can imagine, when you have a business where you have to maintain inventory, maintaining consistent positive cash flow becomes a challenge. So many things are dependent on sales. Shopify Capital has been very easy, very straightforward. You have a dashboard that shows your progress. I have to tell you, I have never had financing that was this simple.”

“The coffee and chocolate subscription business was a huge learning experience for us. We had the ability to taste all of the makers products around North America. Although in the end we decided to stop the service, it gave us insight into how the back end of chocolate making was done.”
