Today we’d like to introduce you to Maurice Shannon and Karleton Chester.
So, before we jump into specific questions about the business, why don’t you give us some details about you and your story.
Confidential started out as being a perfume line in January of this year. I decided to get a sweater made for promotions that read “Dallas confidential company” but people wanted to buy the sweater. I had a chat with my business partner/co-owner Karleton Chester about putting some shorts in production. We pressed our first few shirts in the first week of February. I started posting on my social media pages such as Facebook and Twitter and the reaction was great. Promoting clothes was a smooth transition for me because I was a brand ambassador for Dallas based clothing line Melanin Mafia. Melanin was a huge influence on my translation as their printing company A+ plus print shop helped out my accessories and embroidery products. We launched Confidential and website by having a launch party at Dallas Pink Lounge in March and going forth selling over 100 orders to this date.
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
Clothing business can have its ups and downs but stay with the trends and renaming different can be the key. Learning your audience and keeping them an interest in your brand can be a struggle at times. The goal is to have people believe in you and earn their trust and the road can be a lot smoother.
Alright – so let’s talk business. Tell us about Confidential clothing company – what should we know?
Confidential Clothing Company is all about the individual who succeeds secretly and not looking for the spotlight while accomplishing goals. It’s more about the name with us but it does not hurt to look good while wearing the brand. We specialize in T-shirts, sweaters, Fanny packs, swimwear, men/women accessories, home accessories, and even bundles and lashes. What sets us apart from most companies is that we really cater to our customers by making a lot of custom materials per their request. Our goal is to stay grounded with the customer and not try to mass-produce items rather than making them personal or exclusive for them.
