Raking in over three million dollars in sales this year and now being sold internationally.
Today an -- -- has created a second company called -- this time to brainstorm happened during her pregnancy.
How to offer maternity -- they -- can be worn during and after the pregnancy.
Arianna is in studio to give us an update great to see -- So a lot of happens writes it's been quite a couple of years what should -- -- first addition we talk a little bit about to -- that the success of two birds are what's been going on so.
Last we spoke had had in New York little studios.
It happened since and I took the -- from the concept to Sydney Australia and open a little stand island shop and -- house.
And then from marriage to lend any Nottingham and -- now as well as Los Angeles.
So is always the same jazz JG different colors for different C -- or is it I -- to order -- -- its order of 92 when he colors and four lengths and I venerated wits but armaments like roses and and different kind of embellishment on the bottom for the most part I really don't wanna take away from the integrity of that of the product and the fact that you can Wear it again and you can -- it anyway you -- How -- you gotten so much distribution.
So currently -- 80% of businesses direct to consumer so I entering a market and I -- the wedding market and just make really strong alliances within each region.

Now it sounds like you -- extremely busy over the last the -- areas.
And then you have had a baby -- a little girl congratulation.
In and so then you decided to service sucking company.
Yeah and because I didn't have enough time exactly around when I was pregnant I noticed that there was a similar void in the market for things that I can invest and and spent a lot of money on -- actually -- -- after the baby.
Just like when I was bridesmaid and that's how to vs forms from that you know just not going to spend much I just have a number where gas.
Well as pregnant and I really saw that there was nothing out there for women like me who want to feel stylish while our bodies were changing.
So let's talk a little bit about the scene that kind of connects these two businesses so when you where.
When you are planning your wedding you wanted to find a bridesmaid stress but lot.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- So wanted to create something that they can -- again and feel beautiful and style they're unlike its Yahoo! aren't individual styles with hatch I thought some more boy were -- just you know -- pieces that I can feel beautiful -- and I -- -- department stores and online.
At 2 in the morning and couldn't -- -- thing.
So hatch is now need presenting fourteen key pieces to women saying hey can come to -- an obvious solution here and actually stay in your closet for after the babies born.
Do you think having a successful small business do you think it's all about finding in need in the market.
That's what I gravitate towards but it's quite towns and it's hard to market I I.
Find areas like -- and attorney that aren't very high fashion so a lot of the high fashion designers can stay away from these categories.
But that to me is where the opportunity that's when I talk to -- a few years ago you're at a small studio you were just starting out you're really expected to get going.
What have you learned in the last three years I mean so much has happened here in the last.
Yes how much and I think he met any guesses -- confidence -- a little bit of wisdom.
I mean I haven't had really an endorsement at down lot -- work on my town.
But -- -- do meet with younger people do wanna start -- -- business it's really about.
China have sorry no fear and I think the reason -- -- -- -- second ventures because I've I've learned so much from my first one that.
If you must feel that.
Not to be cliche but if you build -- they'll content and them and saline into building things now have the confidence from two birds to kind of support me through -- and when I check.
-- in three years from now is you can be on your third company I -- Syria odds and are now I ask.
Potentially hopefully hassle B -- -- a little bit bigger and and I think it has a lot more wingspan -- hope they'll be doing -- -- stuff with us rates I'm excited to see average saying and that's great to see you thank you so much for coming and thank you.
