## DESIGNER BRAND

### Swim with Poppies

Embarking on the vibrant streets of Paris, Swim with Poppies, the brainchild of accomplished fashion designer and design educator, Danisha Brown began her entrepreneurial journey with RESOURCE. With years of experience both crafting exquisite designs and imparting knowledge as a fashion design teacher, Danisha faced the challenge of meeting the demands of a prestigious Parisian store while building a brand with limited budget.

**Headquarters**: Brownsburg, IN  
**Founded**: 2022

### Challenge
Facing tight deadlines for Paris fashion week, Danisha turned to RESOURCE as she initially did not believe it’d be possible to finish the production before deadline. Her delicate designs require a professional team who is not only knowledgeable in fitting but also very agile with development, all with a budget that is friendly to entrepreneurs who are just starting off.

**TLDR:**
- **Limited resources**
- **Challenging timeline**
- **Tight budget**

### Solution
The platform's streamlined processes allowed Danisha to effortlessly upload tech packs, specify requirements, and navigate the complexities of manufacturing. RESOURCE’s fabric-sourcing capabilities opened doors to innovative possibilities, such as digital printing on pleated sheer bottoms, enhancing the brand's offerings. The collaboration with RESOURCE not only enabled Swim with Poppies to meet the demands of the Parisian store but also facilitated an expansion into lingerie, daywear, and high-end special occasion wear.

**TLDR:**
- **Comprehensive fabric sourcing**
- **Effortless sampling journey**
- **Streamlined process**

### Satisfaction
**100%**  
**Sample avg time**: 7 days  
**Collection completion time**: 1 month

> “As a fashion design teacher, I'm extremely impressed with RESOURCE's speed and accuracy in sampling. The app is a game-changer for me—I can check updates anytime on my phone, making the entire process incredibly convenient. RESOURCE has been an amazing blessing, allowing me to fulfill Paris Fashion Week requirements and expand my product range. The industry is big, and minimums are crazy. This is very helpful for slow-growing, non-fast fashion brands who are building.”
