Story
The aim with this business is recycle old clothes from charity shops and kilo sales by modifying them in to unique pieces of clothing.
I'm 18 years old and keen buzz in business, after finishing college I'm finding it very difficult to find employment due to lack of jobs. So after coming up with the idea for a business I've decided to take the plunge and go for it. However, I am short on the capital to get it going, this is due to funding going on driving lessons and other such causes. Hence why I am here asking for support through the funding. I have an idea, have mentoring, and support through social media and friends and family. Just no financial support.
In the UK our need for the latest clothing brand and the latest trend is a fast growing problem, with clothes just being thrown away and more of our money spent on more. I come from humble beginnings and money can be tricky at times coming from a family of 6. Clothes were only bought if we grew out of them not because we wanted them. As I've grown older I m now the one looking for my clothes not my parents! This means finding them all important bargains as well as making sure its trendy. Charity shops are fab for bargains but not necessarily trendy clothes. This is where the idea for "Breezeblocks Clothing" first came from, buying clothes cheap modifying them to make them with in trend and to then sell them on for a reasonable value. We will also sell printed t-shirts with our branding on to gain the coverage that we need.
I strongly believe it will work from feedback I have already gain on the idea. I just need your support to get it off the ground, this would include buying the clothes to begin with, the materials to modify them and some extra costs such as business cards, paying for models, and to help get more coverage first of all around the North West of England (where I'm from) and then who knows the whole of UK!! I hope you can help my journey in getting it off the ground! Thanks, Nathan.
