Chasing The Sun: The Kulani Kinis Story | #208
In this episode of Add To Cart, we are joined by Dani Atkins and Alex Babich, the married founders of Kulani Kinis - a swimwear label inspired by Hawaiian life, summer and a love of colour. And they are taking the world by storm. Not only are they selling over $20m of bikinis with their team of 40, they are selling 80% of their product outside of Australia. In this delightfully honest and real episode, Dani and Alex talk us through the inspiration to create a new swimwear label as a side hustle and how they left their previous careers as a psychologist and a corporate accountant. We also discuss why they don’t pay influencers (despite their 600K followers) and their tips for surviving burnout in a very busy eCommerce world.
