we hope you all enjoyed your holidays, were able to spend it with people that were close to you. the team here went from livermore, maine to dubai to be with their loved ones. there were feasts and weddings, merriment and plenty of laughs. happy holidays everyone.
it was quite appropriate to post this article to our female fans around the holidays as it is during the holidays that the team thinks most of the women in our lives. our mothers, our wives and girlfriends. how much we appreciate them, how grateful we are for having them in our lives.
our @sayhi inbox is literally half full with emails from women asking when we can finally offer co-created custom dress shirts for women. we get loads of daily emails from women saying they actually like the Blank Label site, even though it's designed for guys, and that they want us to tell them straight away once we go into womens. they love the functionality of our online custom men's dress shirt application. our unfortunately lame answer is we're four guys. :( and we think their boyfriend, husband or brother would really like a co-created custom men's dress shirt ;)
i'll give a proper response by saying two things. first, we're not money-crazed dudes, and would be more than happy to see someone else do this. in fact we'd even help you. ask us any questions, pick our brains. why the heck would we do this? we love startups, and we really believe in the co-creation community. and we believe in making customers happy, and if women can't be customers of us now, we still want them to be happy. maybe they'll buy something for their man from us:)

what i will promise is that we bring it up internally all the time. our laundry list of things is just way too long at the moment, but we know there are a lot of women waiting, and we're working as hard and fast as we can. so secondly, in the meantime, we've got friends over at sole envie doing something really cool in the co-creation community, and probably way cooler than women's co-created dress shirts. women, your fantasy, design your own shoes. we don't mean to frustrate you more but they're not quite live yet, early next year is the inside scoop. but good things are worth the wait so drop your email to get their newsletters and be the envie of your friends with your self-designed sole.
full disclosure: we're good friends with sole envie and wanted to show our support by telling our female fans about what they're up to.
