Let’s talk more about our collaboration with the Sleyy Queen; Soleil Errico.
Part 2 can start with a recap of the end of Part 1…
GROW UP!
😂
If you are using excuses not to wear a surf hat, grow up.
You just haven’t tried the right one.
Here at Plow, we (I, me, Grace) have emptied our bank account for the pure purpose of providing you with high quality, well fitting surf hats.
Surf Hats that come in FIVE sizes, with two tightening straps, a comfortable chin strap, a firm but flexible brim/beak, netted lining which reduces slipping.
These are all the features that don’t even take in to consideration how cute our prints are which are what I know most of you are primarily here for 🕺🏼❤️🔥
Our priority is to ensure you can get the perfect fit of a surf hat that is going to stay on your noggin and protect your eyes, face and neck from the sun.
Now all we need is for the world to know we exist 🤷🏼♀️
It’s pretty trickey having this low of a budget, this low of experience in business, with THIS BIG of hopes
CUE the SLAY QUEEN
Plow’s current grand experiment!
I’m sorry, but the fact that the WSL Longboarding CHAMPION can back this product is such a slay for us!
If I was money focused I would have done a lot of things differently leading up til now. But the fact is I get myself in too deep because I’m buying too much stock, too many colours, too many sizes, too much with no plan.
I want to give the people what they want! I never want to say no to a customer!
Preparing this collaboration with Soleil has been a breath of fresh air, much like me, she just loves it and wants to be involved.
It could be too much info, but she’s not requested a cent from me this whole time.
It’s a passion project for her too, yes I will pay her royalties once the hats start selling. But up until the arrival of the hats it’s just been two girlie pops sharing their ideas and excitement with each other
I can’t tell you how helpful it has been to me, that she has understood that Plow isn’t a big corporation with cash coming out of its ears. Her keenness to help, even with talking to stores in the US essentially as a Rep on Plow’s/our joint behalf, showing me around town in Malibu a few weekends ago (tbc some US stockists coming soon) and connecting me with her contacts, allowing Plow to be leveraged off of her Elite reputation is a GIFT I can’t even explain how lovely it is to receive!
Soleil’s been fronting her fears doing my dirty work of calls to shops, and calling it Growth! Who does that?!?! Confidence growth experiments in the form on my dirty work…?!
A Slay Queen, thats who!
I don’t even know if its PC to be sharing this side of the behind the scenes. But I’d like people to know how much of a genuinely kind, fair and lovely exchange this has been so far!
When you go in to a business partnership with someone and you refer to them as the Slay Queen… I think it explains how casual we run this collab!
Ps. Our delivery is delayed but it'll be worth the wait!!
Lots of love
