LOST & FOUND
BOUTIQUE
So how did the "Lost And Found Boutique" start, and
what exactly inspired it? It was November of 2014
and Co-Founders D'Laun Montgomery and Jamarcus
Terrell were having a normal conversation about
fashion. Jamarcus brought up the idea of starting a
clothing store to monetize our passion. We thought
that it would make more sense to make money from
the fashion industry rather than go broke from the
fashion industry. So not wanting to just dive into
anything without doing the proper research we spent
the next 12 months doing our homework and studying
the fashion industry.
Midway through 2015 Jamarcus introduced the idea
of adding a 3rd partner named Jermell Burton. He
explained that while D'Laun has his own way of
dressing, and he himself has his own way of dressing
he thought that it would be benecial in the long run
if we had someone with a more urban taste, and so
Jermell was included from that point on.
Opening November 15th, 2015 our initial vision is to
give people a more diverse and unique selection to
choose from. We see that there is a drought in
originality, with everyone dressing like manikins. We
don't sell what is trendy, we only sell things that we
personally like. We can't convince someone to buy
something that we would never buy ourselves. We
want to do all of this while making sure that our prices
match our quality.
Our advice for future entrepreneurs is to stay
consistent. We sum this up simple: Work smarter, and
work harder everyone else. We value quality over
quantity. We try our very best to stay consistent with
every single order, no matter how big or small it is. We
also do a relentless amount of research of similar
companies and people who are in similar elds
because no one alive knows everything. There is
always room for more improvement. In our industry
their is a lot of competition and so we keep that in
mind, and we try to stand out way more than any
other companies that offer similar products. Every
detail counts. Its really simple: Why would someone
shop with us over the thousands of other stores that
are similar to ours
