LIKI START UP FUND INITIATIVE
Seeking support to launch our new clothing brand.
Project Description
LIKI BRAND (pronounced like-e) is an urban contemporary clothing brand born deep heart of Texas.
LIKI, being of African-Igo & Hawaiin origin, means the most beautiful. And with LIKI BRAND's fashions ranging in every style from streetwear to casual contemporary, it is bound to have an impact on fashion enthusiasts throughout the world.
We house quite a few unknown and up and coming labels at LIKI BRAND in addition to our collections, which are due to be launched late 2021. Our styles range from minimalistic, urban, to contemporary, to even trendy favorites! I feel it provides a flexible environment to create outfits that resonate personally, which is so important today.
Even though we are still a very small and consolidated business, we aspire big, in hopes to bring new job opportunities to our small Texas counties of Bell and Travis.
COVID19 has changed the way we looked at everything here at LIKI BRAND from sourcing to operations. So much so that we have abruptly opted to change our mindset.
Just like a majority of the companies affected by the effects of COVID19, we are facing hard times.
For instance, since we are so new we were unable to qualify for the PPP, and switching manufacturers/vendors from China to USA, Mexico, United Kingdom has resulted in a huge delay in our production process.
In the meantime, the future has forced us to look inward and to pursue a new means of getting our fashion store products and our own collection to realization.
THESE CHANGES INCLUDE:
• Focusing at least 60-75% our sourcing/manufacturing/production on USA based businesses in order to help our economy as well as providing our own production/manufacturing in-house
• Creating more remote(CSR) , manufacturing/production, creative job opportunities for members of our local community.
• Developing and manufacturing new Innovative essential products to add to our line
WE ASK FOR YOUR HELP
