about 6 months ago, officially. my first products came in about 3 months ago, and i'm only about 1/7 of the way to breaking even. i don't have much products right now and i haven't even tried to get my stuff in some local retailers, cus i'm a fulltime science student (which means i'm pretty busy academically). all of my sales have been to my friends and friends of their friends, etc.
you can check it out at
www.evolveapparel.com, if you care to.
i have a large source of referances if you're planning on entering this kind of market. just let me know.
