“Mari has been an instrumental partner to the development and growth of our knitwear program. Her wealth of knowledge and creative direction is unmatched. Her work elevating our brand with specialized details has been instrumental in our success. We've experienced incredible results at market events, selling nearly four times more than we typically do at pop-ups. The collection is receiving such positive feedback from customers! Additionally, an order was replenished at a pro shop after being on the floor for just one day, selling out more than half of what they ordered. These thoughtful design elements have not only helped us expand our presence in more stores but have also significantly boosted our wholesale business.”
