I am a busy mum of three active boys loving life in the northern Illawarra.
2. Why did you start a clothing business?
2. Why did you start a clothing business?
I started Shred with my three boys. It started out as a fun way to make their own brand to wear. Then as other kids wanted to wear the brand it turned into more of a business. It’s so important to teach the boys about business skills and hard work.
3. Who came up with the name?
We all did. There were many options some better than others! Shred clothing seemed to be the best fit for where we were going.
4. And who are the models on your website?
