Innovative E-Commerce Company Announces $2.6 Million in Series A Funding
(firmenpresse) - SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 08/02/12 -- Personal Retailing Inc. today announced the launch of FabKids (), a new children's brand and personalized e-commerce service that keeps growing kids in fresh, affordable and stylish outfits every month. Led by ShopStyle founder and serial entrepreneur Andy Moss, together with new mom and actress Christina Applegate, FabKids delivers complete outfits designed, created by and sold exclusively on FabKids.com. Today, the company also announced that it has raised $2.6M in Series A funding led by Hillsven Capital, with additional investments from leading Silicon Valley entrepreneurs and angel investors.
"With annual sales reaching $100B globally, there's a huge opportunity for success in the children's apparel market," said Brian Sugar, FabKids investor and CEO of Sugar Inc. "FabKids offers a truly unique approach for solving a key pain point for parents who want to make sure their children are in stylish, wearable, quality clothes, but don't have the time or money to keep up as they constantly outgrow their clothes."
FabKids was created to revolutionize the shopping experience for busy parents by providing them with ongoing style recommendations that are personalized for their child. With a monthly membership of $49.95, one outfit credit -- good for a 3-piece head-to-toe outfit -- is made available to members each month. Here's how joining the FabKids' outfit club works:
: Members create a style profile based on a kid friendly quiz of 15 visual questions such as: What is your favorite color? Which is your favorite outfit for school (from bold trends to pretty florals to jeans and tees)?
: Members receive personalized outfit picks each month; members have the option to buy the recommended outfit, choose another outfit or skip the month all together at no charge.
: Members receive their new outfit within a week. All outfits include free shipping and returns, and are backed by the FabKids' "Pinky Promise" of 100% satisfaction guarantee.
"We are thrilled to bring personalized and convenient one-click outfit shopping to busy parents," said founder and CEO, Andy Moss. "It's a revolutionary new concept and working with a savvy partner like Christina Applegate, who shares our passion in personalizing the apparel market for stylish girls, has really helped bring this vision to life."
FabKids launches with its Back-to-School collection of over 100 "ready-to-play" outfits for girls sizes 2-8, with sizes 10 and 12 soon to follow. The company also plans to expand into additional categories, beginning with Boys and Infant/Baby apparel to be introduced in 2013.
