The inspiration behind Future Fan Maternity came to me in August
2008, as I searched high and low for something to wear to a football
game. At 6 months pregnant, my choices were very much limited to a
couple of maternity t-shirts. Wanting something more flattering, it
seemed I was out of luck! As
an MBA graduate student at LSU and full-time working mother of two, I
knew I would be crazy to embark on a new business venture! I
also knew I’d be crazy to pass up the opportunity to start-up my own
company, especially a company that produced products I was proud of!
So...
After
countless hours of research and multiple licensing applications, I
obtained LSU licensing rights! I formed Future Fan Maternity in January
of 2009 and am the sole employee...for now!
I work with a maternity apparel manufacturer and, together, we developed the initial clothing line. I started by offering three distinct styles of clothing - pieces that I
would have wanted while pregnant. I could not be prouder of the
quality and design of each piece! My goal is to expand my clothing
line to offer additional styles and schools.
As
more and more women continue working and remain active until late in
their pregnancies, stylish and comfortable maternity clothing will
continue to grow in demand. In a state where college football is king, the desire for anything LSU crosses over into maternity wear for sure! The market for my clothing is definitely there!
Just read what customers have said so far!
“The
shirt was a hit! I received tons of compliments of how cute it was and
spread the word of your company. There were several ladies I wish I
could have told about you cause they just needed this shirt! “ ~ Shelly
H., New Orleans, LA
“ These [lounge pants] are very comfortable and fit fabulous! I love them! I would buy these even if I wasn't pregnant!!! “ ~ Jen P., Baton Rouge, LA
Thanks for taking the time to read up on the company! Geaux Tigers!
