“HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT!!!”
So reads the Facebook update for a pair of Raleigh entrepreneurs.
“We’re going to be on ABC’s hit show, Shark Tank!! Will we be eaten alive by the Sharks in the tank?! Will the Sharks give Frill a bid?!
“We can’t wait for you to find out! Tune in to ABC on Friday, March 6th at 8|7c to find out!”
Kate Steadman and Sharon Bui posted the news at Facebook.
Their venture http://frillclothing.com/ dates to 2012 when they were still in college.
Frill Clothing is a Raleigh startup focusing on custom clothing, is about to receive tremendous international exposure – and perhaps land some high-profile investors.
So what’s the thrill about Frill?
“We design custom clothing with charity in mind! Check out our featured designs for Sorority Recruitment and Bridal Parties!”
In other words:
“We custom design skirts, tops and dresses for recruitment and give a portion of our proceeds to charity!”
How’s the process work? Says Frill:
1) Pick a style or describe what you are looking for and we will custom design it
2) Pick a fabric and color
3) Tell us what philanthropy you support
“And we will give you the products you designed + a check to your philanthropy!!”
