Summersalt Announces Expanded Product Line & Travel Apparel - Forbes

Posted: 15 Nov 2019 07:00 AM PST

Summersalt, the female-founded, direct-to-consumer swimwear brand, announced today the expansion of its product line beyond swimwear and into the apparel category, focusing on travel-focused items like cashmere sweaters and wrinkle-free pants that retail in the range of $25 to $125.

Sustainability is a key feature to the new product line: 90% of the collection is made with recycled materials, its packaging is compostable, and all pieces are treated with a sustainable, closed-loop finish called The Shield™ which wicks moisture, provides sun protection, and is antimicrobial to prevent odors. 

"Our sustainability mission goes beyond materials to include fair treatment for all workers, with each of our factories meeting global standards as well as the standards for their individual country," said Lori Coulter, the brand's CEO and Co-founder.

This expansion marks a pivotal point for the brand as it enters the highly competitive apparel category. Co-Founders Reshma Chamberlin and Lori Coulter knew they wanted to expand beyond swimwear from the company's inception, but wanted to wait on introducing additional products until they'd reached the right stage in their business growth.

"Our decision to expand was strategic in that we were very aware that first we had to have an engaged customer base with confidence in our brand to grow with us as we expanded into new categories," Coulter said.

An engaged customer base they certainly have: At present, Summersalt has made sales in all 50 states (as well as in Mexico and Canada) and the brand continues to grow steadily—sales are on track to increase to $40 million this year, up from $5.6 million in 2018.

The company's expansion into travel-focused apparel comes as a good time, as data shows that consumers interested in higher-price point goods and luxury hotels are spending more on travel in recent years, with spending increasing at a compound annual growth rate of 3.6%.

Millennials are another prime customer segment for these types of products, as Nielsen reports show that this demographic focuses more on travel than any previous generation. This extends into their work lives as well: MMGY data shows that Millennials take an average of 7.7 business trips per year.

The brand's entry into the apparel space does come with some fierce competition, as they'll be facing off with other digitally-native high-performing brands like Away and Lunya that have their own travel apparel collections as well.

Web Smith, founder of 2PM, says that the macroeconomic trend of Millennials and Gen Xers placing a strong value on travel opens up a unique opportunity for brands to capitalize on travel-focused products, including apparel. 

What's more: For brands like Summersalt with an established customer base, it's a good way to reduce acquisition costs while increasing the lifetime value of their existing customers.

He went on to say that he sees this move as one that will help the brand expand beyond what can often be a seasonal product (swimwear) and hedge for the rest of the year—but only if customer data and demand supports it.

For Summersalt, customer feedback was indeed at the core of this decision.

"Our customers often asked where they could get cover-ups and other travel staples—and if we were planning on carrying them," said Reshma Chamberlin, Summersalt's Co-founder and Chief Brand & Digital Officer. "We knew our customers wanted more pieces from us, and since we captured trust with the fit of the most intimate category [swimwear], it was the perfect time to provide additional items."

Dress a President in winter apparel: helping those in need - Newscenter1.tv

Posted: 15 Nov 2019 03:11 PM PST

RAPID CITY, S.D. – It's that time again, winter clothing items can now be placed on the presidential statues in downtown Rapid City. It's an early start Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week.

According to Housing for the Homeless there were over 1,000 homeless people in Rapid City in 2018 and in 2019 just a little under 1,000. Hats, gloves, scarves, coats and just about any winter item can be placed on the statues for those who need a means of staying warm this winter. 

"We know it fulfills a great need, we encourage groups during the winter months and the winter season to be mindful of that. It's a great way for the youth to be involved, a great way for the churches and organizations to be involved as well," said city communications coordinator Darrell Shoemaker.

You can put winter apparel on the statues from now until March 15th.

In Stretch of Two Decades, BX Sports Builds Apparel Empire - Norwood News

The Cafaro Brothers—Alberto, Vincenzo and Angelo—is also the team behind BX Sports, a sneaker and lifestyle apparel retailer found across the Bronx, including the Jerome Gun Hill Business Improvement District. Since 1997 the trio has been hard at work building a sneaker and style empire across the Bronx.

BX Sports is a "true family business" with the three brothers at the helm supported by their sister and mother. For Alberto, "family is what makes the engine run."

When Alberto's brother Vincenzo first decided to open up a sneaker store he was just 22 years old. At the time, the brothers were working in a shoe store in their native Queens, learning the ins and outs of the fashion retail world. But they wanted more. So they headed up to the Bronx, settling in a former Super Cuts at 2181 White Plains Rd.

"[Vincenzo] just wanted to see if he could do it; to see if he could run a successful small business at the age of 22," said Alberto.

With the support of his family, the BX Sports brand grew to include a second store two years later, and a third store a year after that. At present BX Sports operates stores in Norwood, Mott Haven, Soundview, and Pelham Parkway with over 40 employees.

The location at 3476 Jerome Ave. in the BID has been open since 2003. For the first 10 years of its operation Alberto was in the store every day, rare for a store owner, meeting with customers and connecting with neighboring small business owners. He's seen customers grow up, start families, and have kids. Those kids who've grown up are now BX Sports employees. "It is generational," said Alberto.

Alongside a changing industry and changing consumer habits, the BX Sports team has had to innovate and adjust. "The business has always been buy, sell. You see a pair of shoes on the rack, you buy them," said Alberto. But now Alberto says BX Sports has to be more creative in their engagement with customers, relying more on multimedia content and marketing to get shoppers' attention.

"The goal hasn't changed. The goal is always to make sure the family is good, to do the things we want to do in life," said Alberto. However, "the vision has changed, because the world has," said Alberto. BX Sports' next move—a community space dedicated to fashion, art, and music—reflects this changing vision. Inspired by the Italian social clubs of yesteryear and the community arts spaces of today, their next venture will open on White Plains Road in January 2020.

The new location will serve as a space for performances, photoshoots, art shows, and events. The first of its kind in the neighborhood, Alberto wants to show that BX Sports is a "hands on, community driven brand" dedicated to providing "people from the Bronx a place to showcase their talents."
