Eunbell Boutique and Blog
Class. Sass. Eunbell.
Project Description
Eunbell Boutique's mission is to spread the joy of fashion, positive body image, class, and sass. The market size for plus size fashion and lifestyle is BIG! From personal experience, I've spent years searching for positive plus sized influencers and brands. After close observation of content, I've become a faithful follower and customer to the brands that represent me best. Body positivity is a trend to many, but my focus is the lifestyle. Beauty doesnt have a size but society doesnt always remember that. So I want to help bridge that gap, the market for plus size women is large and provides many avenues of revenue. My products will have you feeling sassy, classy, and on trend. I am seeking funding because I am unable to fund this alone. I work fulltime and my household expenses consume most of my income. I am in need of a camera, backdrops, lights and laptop. I need shirts, labels, laser printer, and product. I am only looking for help to start up. The money made initially will go straight into the business to help it stay afloat until I can make more profit. I am the only team member in the LLC. I have no funders or participants that partake in the development of my business.
- Thank you to anyone who took the time to read my pitch. Thank you to anyone who has the heart to help me fund this start up but cannot. Thank you to each person who is able to donate. Your positive thoughts, prayers, and dividends will be taken seriously, utilized properly and appreciated whole heartedly.

The Campaign FAQs
My name is Doriana Smith. I am a young, black woman looking for help to start her business. My vision for my online boutique is to provide all inclusive boutique style curve clothing. Curve clothing includes your everyday woman, your proffesional, the conservative, the wild and free, and even the diva of the group. My vision is to create a brand that interacts more like a online buddy with blogs, youtube, and regular interactivity with multiple social media plartforms. In order to provide clothing for both standard and plus sizes, I will need an influx of finacial assitstance.
My goal is to have my website up and running and my accounts ready by December 18, 2020, ready to ship. That day is my birthday. I know having all of my selected clothes, accessories, and shoes ready is far fateched, so I will to begin with fine and fashion jewelry, begin blogging, and recording for my first vlog, whether I have the camera equipment or not. My brand followers will be like friends of mine, walking this journey of self discovery, self love, and self elevation with me.
My goal with this business is to become completly self sufficient by the end of 2022. I hope to launch my first clothing collection by spring 2021. By summer 2021, I would like to broaden my brand by introducing homemade skin products. also, fall 2021, I would like to launch a fall and holiday dress collection. By 2022, I plan to have expanded enough to begin my own custom clothing and accessories collection within my boutique. At that junction I would be able to bring my family in so that as I expand, WE can expand.
My aspirations are high, unorthodox, and my passions for this business are deep. This boutique is named after my grandmother, to help honor her memory, and maintain her legacy. My grandmother is the biggest motivator I have in making sure I make my dreams come true. Her passing was traumatizing for me, but Im grateful for her influence. Her influence is what sparked this business.
At first I felt shame while writing my story, almost didnt write it. But faith without works is dead, and this is my attempt in asking for assistance. I work full time and spend my downtime planning for my business, drawing up ideas, coming up with launching and branding concepts, and researching marketing strategies that will build a solid foundation for my brand. My income only allows me to pay bills and catch up with bills, and plan to pay future bills. That is the reason why I have decided to reach out. Its definetely a leap of faith, but I am confident I can pull this off successfully with help.
