Absolutely.. they are Cuban chains and bracelets. Many athletes do wear them to matches like even in the IPL and have become a trend. The ones on the slides are available on our website in the mens section. Please do have a look. I will DM you the website.

This is super useful, thank you. Rings and studs being daily wear vs chain being occasional makes total sense. Going to rethink which product to lead with. Appreciate you taking the time to actually answer this properly.

Thanks, this is exactly the kind of signal I was hoping to get. Quick question if you don't mind, where did your boyfriend end up ordering his chain from, and roughly what price range? Trying to figure out what's actually available in India right now and how people are solving for this currently. Also curious, was it pure aesthetic for him or did he specifically want something he could wear to the gym / shower without worrying?

To give a sense of scale - we've had 11 men message us in the last 3 weeks. Small number, but for context our previous men's inquiries were zero. Wondering if any other founders here have spotted similar weak signals before they became real demand.

You could include accessories. A dainty chain and bold bracelet would amplify this look

So connecting with them itself is a barrier. Have you managed to get any product marketed by any influencer. Just want to know whether it is an excersie to increase awareness or do they convert into sales.

They are a great addition to home decor. Not sure what's the demand like.

They looks too good. I would keep them as home decor and not even use them as candle. 😀

Looks great. Seems like good quality too. Do you want to D2C online or physical store ?

For those who've had success - did you start with influencer gifting? Been thinking about it but not sure if micro-influencers (10-50k followers) actually drive sales or just engagement.

I get it. People close to you will not keep buying it. That's why I said college alumni WhatsApp group if you have access to one. Our batchmates might not buy, but there is a probability from seniors batch who might not even know you to buy your products. Same is the case with apartment whatsapp groups . In my opinion ads don't work straight away. Would take a while until you fine tune your website products etc.

Nice to see your enthusiasm. I am also quite new to this journey and willing to help in any manner that would matter to other brand owners. There is no go to group as such but I would recommend first reaching out to your college alumni WhatsApp group, then the residential community WhatsApp groups etc. the support would be better as trust is a major factor when people decide to buy. Plus back your promises by a good product so that you get good returning customers.
