A Wrap Up: We're Done!!
HOLY SHIT we got our first bulk order and posted our launch date (3/17/20). As I have champagne to calm my nerves, I’m reflecting on the last 4 years and have a few thoughts to share.  First, I cannot IMAGINE...
We’ve been MIA. Here’s why
We’d like to confirm that bra making is hard and takes a long time. Here’s the latest with Twinnks: we came back from our meeting with the new factory in Baltimore on top of the world. They were (and still...

our visit to the factory
R, here… As mentioned in the previous post, we’re working with our 2nd factory. The first factory was fine, but we didn’t think she understood the vision behind Twinnks and after receiving the first prototype, it was clear we were...
What is This About?
Hi, welcome to Twinnks!  We’re R and R. Yes, we have actual names, but can’t share them yet (explanation to come).  We’re twin sisters who are creating a new, innovative bra and documenting the entire process from prototype, to launch,...
