Today we’d like to introduce you to Holly Silas.
Thanks for sharing your story with us Holly. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
As a child, I’ve always had a passion for creating. From clothes to other works, I’ve always been enamored with the idea of making things my own – just the way I wanted. With that, I developed a very keen “go out and get it” mentality. By that, I mean, I’ve always been very ambitious as far as finding new ways to get my name out there and make money while doing it. In 2018, because of my love for the pure art of creation, I was given a heat press to begin making my ideas come to life for myself. I began to create shirts with my favorite quotes and sayings, which gained a lot of traction on Instagram. Next thing I knew, I was making custom orders for friends, family, and co-workers. So, in an attempt to marry my passion for fashion with my drive for success, Holly Hustle LLC was born. I started with a Mother’s Day sale and sold two shirts – discouraged wasn’t the word. However, with strength, determination, and the world’s best support system, this Mother’s Day, I sold over 100 shirts and made a name for my business!
We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
Starting and running my own business is absolutely no easy task, especially when I first started out. It was like making my own way through the dark. From figuring out how to accurately and efficiently *place graphics on the shirts to figuring out ways to differentiate my brand from the competition, I felt that the obstacles were endless. The more I began to hone in on my craft, however, the easier these things became. So, even though I had to build my craft from the ground up, I am forever grateful for each and every lesson that I’ve learned along the way.
So, as you know, we’re impressed with Holly Hustle – tell our readers more, for example what you’re most proud of as a company and what sets you apart from others.
Holly Hustle LLC is a growing custom apparel brand that is characterized by personality and unique expression. We specialize in custom T-shirts, jackets, and hoodies. We’re most known for our “Mom Sh*t” and “Dad Sh*t” apparel line, which I created in dedication to all the parents in my life. Whether they have help or no help, whether they have $5 or $500, being a parent is innate and a part of you, and I really wanted to find a way to show appreciation for a truly thankless job. As a company, I’m most proud of my growth over the last two years. From three shirts a month to 600 – the love that my customers show me is unparalleled. In that same breath, what sets my brand apart from others is our love for our customers. I don’t do this for the money or for any praise, but for the experience that I’m able to provide our consumers with.
So, what’s next? Any big plans?
My most salient plan for the future is to fully develop a website to tell my brand story and give my customers a place to fluidly place orders and connect with my brand. In the future, I’d also like to look into opening a storefront to really expand my business!
