Special G9Girl offer only for fellow Pelicanites…

Age-old question, what do you get for your daughter ages 9-15 for the Holidays?

Make the big hug and “thanks Dad” really count this year! For fellow Pelicanites only, when you purchase something at http://www.g9girl.com/boutique.html just type in the code “PELICAN” in the Coupon Code box at the bottom of Screen 2: Select Shipping Method, and you will get 20% off your order.

Images on the apparel are lithographs that sparkle like there's a layer of Arctic Silver under the artwork. Purses have ceramic tiles that clink when you walk. Very cool! Here's a guide to what the artwork means: http://www.g9girl.com/charmguide.html that allow you to customize the images on the shirts according to your daughter's personality. Is she like Violet? http://www.g9girl.com/violetch.html or more like Aria? http://www.g9girl.com/ariach.html

Here are some suggestions that have sold well and are beloved:
The Terrier Mini, On the Town purse and Siena Pack


Yoga Pants and Cami Top Combo


Long Sleeve T or Baby Rib Tank Top

I bought some of this stuff for Xmas this year, for my wife. She's a bit older than 15, though...

If you like the design of the purses and clothes, I think you'll be even more pleasantly surprised with the quality. Shaun, you did a great job on the line!

This may come off as a slam, but it's not. Ok got that outta the way.

These are Chinese designer knockoffs right? I showed the site to my wife and one of our female business partners and they were naming the originals. They both liked them and I think atleast one will be ordering. BTW... they said your prices were better than those at "purse parties" with the same units. I just posted about purse parties

LOL, in that industry, knockoffs make it to retail before the originals. Check out H&M, Zara, Mango...

Thanks Jason! and yes guys, women in their 30s also seem to love this stuff. Makes them feel younger a bit. BTW, I should have a signed contract with Babs, our new West Coast Sales Manager today. Lot more negotiating after my trip out West!

Joel, yes, they are knock-offs, but really well made with high quality materials. The tiles are hand-made... the images are dyed onto the ceramic with sublimation, they are then clean with a diamond grit stone, silver jewelry tags affixed with special adhesive, then split rings worked on, etc... guess how I know all this.

As a self-funded start-up, we wanted a broad line but needed to maintain low inventory with nearly JIT access. The apparel is sourced out of CA and the purses just made so much sense. That said, we are working now on developing our own line of purses, want to expand into fashion in the future, but our primary goal is to blow out the girl-power infrastructure. We are in talks now for a monthly G9Girl column in a major teen magazine. Since each of the G9Girls has her own personality, the advice given by 2-3-4 of the G9Girls in each column will reflect a unique personality/position. That combined with an advisory board of tween-teen girls themselves offering their own thoughts on a topic is our next primary focus (of 10 or so ) to really build out the brand.
