The Story behind Tough Apparel Machine Washable Ties!
When Kevin and Skylar were in college, they dressed casually as well as carelessly but as they entered the business world they had to dress professionally. While they were fine with it, things began to change when they got married and had children. Everyone who is a parent can relate to how messy children can get! It is like their inherent nature to throw or spill and spit things on a person carrying them. Nick and Skylar who adored their children could not resist carrying their kids around before leaving for work or as soon as getting back from work. The problem began when they had to send their expensive ties to dry cleaners repeatedly or sometimes even throw them away.
They began to wonder why the most common expensive item of professional attire despite being expensive didn’t hold up to minor spills. They wanted such an item to be stain resistant, durable, and withstand machine wash. This gave them a business idea and they spent the whole of 2016 researching financial, manufacturing, and marketing aspects of it.
The development of Tough Apparel Machine Washable Ties!
By the end of the year 2016, they decided that the business idea was viable and wanted to go ahead with it. In January 2017 they started a Kickstarter campaign for the company Tough Ties to collect $15,000. The campaign concluded with 78 backers pledging $15,238. Kevin and Skylar leaped faith and quit their respective jobs to support their company on a full-time basis.
