Skin Color

I was recently asked if we would do a shirt with women with different ethnicities? this was my response...

We really battled with giving her a skin color to begin with - but if we didn't then she would have taken on the color of the shirt - i.e. green, blue etc. The skin color we picked is tan so she could be white or Hispanic - we have girls with red hair, brown and blond. We were waiting to hear from customers to see if there was a demand for us to make a black woman on a shirt - so far we haven't had a request (we do live in NH so our exposure has almost exclusively been with white women) As soon as we have the interest we can for sure make a shirt, but we really wanted to get feedback from women - would you wear a shirt with a blond girl on it if you had brown hair? Would you wear a shirt with a white girl on it if you were black and vice versa? We approached the Oprah Show and the Tyra Banks Show asking to use their studio audience as a focus group because it is a good discussion. So far - we haven't gotten a response. We do have a shirt on the "coming soon" page of our website that is a runner called the "7 and 7 minute mile" - she could easily have darker skin - again if we knew the shirts would get purchased we would do them in a heart beat. I hope that makes sense.

Positive Feedback

An old pal from college just sent this along. We love the positive feedback! Thanks Aimee.
"I am doing well, thanks for asking!  But I am so excited for you!
Your T-shirts are going to do so well in Luna Chics for a couple of reasons
(as you probably know). First, the store itself is so cool. Second, Exeter
is such a posh town and third, Phillips Exeter Students love to shop there.....
and Phillips Exeter Students come from all over the world.....your name is
going to get out there!!!"


Cheers,
