Doing What Others Won’t: Celebrating 15 Years of BraTopia 💕

15 years ago this week the doors of BraTopia opened to the public for the first time. We had 4 customers that day, and made 435.00.  I had two employees and no idea what I was doing.

I also had 2 kids that were 2.5 years old, and 10 months old.  My house was liened from the business loan that I needed to open.  I threw up every day for one month because my nervous system couldn't handle the level of risk I had undertaken to realize this dream.  My nanny at the time eventually confronted me because she heard the puking - and thought I was pregnant again.  She was very relieved when I said no and explained that it was the fear of losing my house if the business didn't work out.  She told me she would go to church every week and pray for me.  

I was willing to do what others won't...to achieve what others can't.  

Thank you to everyone that has supported us along the way.  Whether you worked in-house, or walked through the front doors and left with the finest lingerie in the World!  

With love and deep gratitude,
