SE: Any plans for expansion?
RE: Always, but it’s more top secret than a treasure map.
SE: What is your favorite product from your store?
RE: I love love love the Shimmy Zebras! I get so many compliments and smiles when I wear them. After all, wearing them is like wearing a Safari on your face. Pretty intense…
SE: What’s your favorite thing about Storenvy?
RE: It is the most unique store front program I have ever seen. It’s free. It’s got such a “fresh” vibe to it. Honestly, I love all of it.
SE: What is your favorite thing about Nick Roccanti?
RE: Well of course that would be his Brad Pitt looks. But also, Nick is such an honest, stand up guy. He will bend over backwards to help people and make sure they love Storenvy and are comfortable using it.
SE: What advice would you have for people wanting to start their own accessories or apparel company?
RE: I would say just go into it knowing you won’t become rich over night. It takes A LOT of hard work and dedication. But most importantly, go into it knowing you want to have fun. Stay positive.
