What we're working on:

Happy Wednesday and happy almost Thanksgiving! 🍁🌾 We hope everyone is gearing up with holiday plans and all the discounts for Black Friday. (Pro tip: stay in shape this Thanksgiving by running away every time you see someone you went to high school with). This is our bimonthly newsletter and we have some exciting updates regarding a new prototype, Kickstarter, and an upcoming giveaway! This past month, we began production with our new factory in DTLA and the progress has been amazing. We're almost done, and our finalized sample is going to be finished before the new year!

Some other quick updates (lots this week!):

• 🖥️ We officially launched our website earlier this month: www.theprismbrand.com. Check it out if you haven't already!
• 👜 We've been really grinding on getting our final prototype and our manufacturers in DTLA are absolute sweethearts. We're set to receiving our final prototype at the end of this month. Get ready for a week of testing happening soon.
• 📣 We held 4 workshops in Anaheim and did a UCLA Engineering Panel(shoutout to Theta Tau) geared towards teaching young professionals and students interested in business about entrepreneurship and social entrepreneurship.
• ✨ We're going to Magic Las Vegas, a fashion tradeshow in the held twice a year in Las Vegas. This fashion marketplace showcases men's, women's and children's apparel, footwear, accessories, and manufacturing resources from around the world.
