@JoelECarlson – Good morning everyone and welcome to the TwiterReview of @buttersandbeans owner Ann Evans. Lets get started!
Q – #1 To start Ann, what is @buttersandbeans?
A: butters&beans is a brand new fashion-centric organic and eco-friendly infant clothing line!
Q – #2 That’s a great idea. So what made you think of @buttersandbeans, and how can people find you and your clothing?
A: b&b started when I noticed that there were not a lot of colorful and fun organic kids clothing options on the market…
…everything seemed a little bland and boring – a lot of that “natural” color (if that’s a color), and earthy tones –
…and everything was made in plain cotton – no texture. So, b&b was born!
We are launching hopefully later this afternoon at buttersandbeans.com! #crossingmyfingers
Q – #3 So just a web-store, not a brick and mortar location? What age range or sizes of clothing will you carry?
A: Just a web-store for now…although we may be looking at a brick and mortar in the future :) #50thandFrance
We currently are only working with the wee-est of babes, up to 12 months.
I would rather concentrate on fewer sizes, and do them perfectly, than do more sizes, and maybe not so perfectly. :)
Q – #4 A good place to start! Now is it clothing only or are there toys, strollers, car seats, etc. also available?
A: We keep our concentration very focused – organic clothing only. Fashion has always been my love.
Q – #5 Fun! So regarding your clothing: Local brands? National brands? What are some of the materials used?
A: We actually design and produce all of our clothing in-house – b&b is a brand of its own, not just an online store.
Twitter problems!
Our Fall Collection features super soft velour, fleece, sherpa, woven cotton, knit cotton…lots of fun materials!
Gotta love Twitter! #overcapacity
Q – #6 So who does your designing, and where are your clothes made?
A: I do all of our designing (super fun), and all of our products are made here in the Twin Cities…
…by amazing local seamstresses (love keeping it in the Twin Cities)!
Q – #7 Local is great and good business sense! So to end today, any specials to share or goals for the Co. to share?
A: Our goals are simple – to do our small part for the planet, and to provide a new, fun and modern option for organic…
clothing (adding mama pieces soon). Make sure to follow us for specials, and thank you so much for the twitterview!
@JoelECarlson – Thanks Ann for bringing a great idea and company like @buttersandbeans to MN. Nothing but success to your and your Co.!
