For example, if you're looking for products from brands such as Donna, Karen Ascotta as well as Uh well a variety of other famous brands including Mark by Mark, Jacob's Well where can you go. I guess you can go to the stores, but you can also go online, but in a particular way. And here to tell us more as Victoria Cole, the chief executive of Designers on a Dime. They are based in Houston, and Victoria joins us in the studio today. Thank you very much for being here. How do you describe your website as being different than other online e commerce retail sites. Designers on a Dime is different because there are a lot of fashion e commerce companies, that's for sure. But we're different in that we have fifty three platforms around the globe where we are putting the merchandise and we rotate it approximately every thirty days to a different platform. So people actually are shopping online in various parts of the world looking at different items, and fashionist does always want to see new items. So how do you get your items? And look at the website? Oh my goodness, I just looked at shop and I just got brand names. I haven't even gotten to Designer Vintage yet. And there's a very very long list of designer type brands, you know, from load, you know load designer to very lux designer. How do you get all this stuff. Well, we have seven buyers in major metropolitan cities in the US, and we look ahead, Kathleen, at about a year and a half to two years, to know what trends are coming, and then we formulate a plan and we get our buyers to actually go out and curate all of those types of items, so we have collections available for what's coming up. You've got the accessories obviously, beauty brand names, clothing of vintage designers, shoes. How do you make sure that the condition and the quality is at a level that the customer will find acceptable. Everything comes in if it's clothing, everything gets drag cleaned in advance. Um, everything gets checked by the warehouse when it's coming in. Buttons are added if need be, and so on, zippers. Everything is really scrutinized, and we have an authenticator to authenticate designer brands. This is really critical and this is why we have such a clamoring of followers around the globe. So tell us a little bit about you. I don't know where to start. You're an angel investor. You've mentored startups and midsize companies and you've taken people the next level all of the country. You worked as general manager for quite a holding company or philanthropist. How did you get here? Man? I love fashion. I've always had a passion for fashion, and so I decided to I started out with an eed Bays store years ago, in two thousand and five, and it grew from there. So did you do your what job were you doing then? Were you doing something else and saying, oh, just for fun, I'm gonna sell stuff on my exactly? That's exactly how I start, and I think there's a lot of other people that start that way as well. Now eBay is still something that we maintain, but we're it's not one of our major I mean, we have a lot of different platforms across the US as well. How did your finance this? I financed it myself, yourself, No outside. That's privately held. And as far as the financing goes, have you gotten offers to sell the company? Not yet? Not yet? The kind of volume are you doing? Can you tell us? Well, because it's privately held, of course, we have experienced exponential growth recently, and I think it's part of that is you know, when Macy's makes their statement we're going to close a hundred stores, people pay attention and the reason they're closing a hundred stores is because people are going to shopping online. So when when you have that kind of publicity, it just fuels it even more. And people like to be able to shop in five seconds. You go on your cell phone and be in our store in five seconds literally, and purchase an item in five more seconds. So if I want to buy something, it's really easy. I can go to designers on a dime.

We're going to go to l A and San Francisco first, and we are going to meet up close and personal with our clients, and we're trying to discover some holy grails, if you will, of fashion treasures that people have in their closets. I also note that on your website you put together entire outfits for people. So if you're Adultera and Gabana person, you can buy everything, shirts, skirts, flip flops.
