For sure: 1) Ordered 800 pairs with an all-in manufacturing cost of $10/pair. Shipping was right around when supply chain awfulness had ships stacked off Long Beach and ended up bringing the cost/pair up to $13.

We've been 'live' with the website since December of 2021.

Started selling for $40/pair. Sold some. Dropped the price to $29/pair and sold more. Currently selling for $20/pair and that seems to be the right price point for these.

We've sold ~450 of the original 800 pairs and I still have just less than $2000 outstanding from the original investment.

2) Brooklyn: https://brooklyn-theme.myshopify.com

Can you elaborate on the production part of the sandals? How did you approach some company to produce them for you?
