HoopLa Earrings

About a year ago I met Mandy Buntjer and I've been grateful every since! What an amazing, creative and kind person. Seriously one of the best people I've ever met. 
At the time I was working for a shop that was purchasing her adorable earrings wholesale. After our first couple meetings to make an order, we ended up becoming fast friends.
I loved learning about her beautiful family and talking about all things creative. 
We definitely spoke the same language LOL. 
It's my pleasure to show you some of Mandy's handy work and to further spotlight some of the amazing talent right here in UTAH.

Thank you for supporting Utah Fashion Underground, where we highlight those amazing people that make up Utah's Fashion scene...

Turning an End Into a Creative Beginning-Utah Woman Designs Swimwear with a Playful Whimsy.

Fusing Art with Fashion has turned into a creative business for Emily Sanders. After the end of her marriage, she used the power of creativity to heal and help women feel confident in a swimsuit.

“I wanted to shake off the negative feelings from the end of my marriage. I wanted to enjoy life again-to laugh and feel free.” so Sanders started using her art background to create and get grounded. 

Taking what money she had, Sanders decided to put down her paintbrush and pick up a sketch pad, filling it with vibrant colors to create a swimsuit line that not only picked her up emotionally, but also created a swim line that showcased her unique style while also being functional for a day at the pool.

“Whimsical playfulness, full of individuality and fun-loving freedom” is how Sanders describes her creations. “Women who wear my suits are living life to the fullest.” She states. “I wanted to create designs from my new life, ones that had the feeling of light-hearted fun, that were functional, with a burst of unique style.” 

Having worked full-time in Park City's Terzian Gallery, Sanders had no background in design, manufacturing, or even in running a small business, but she researched, went to classes, and navigated herself through the complicated world of product development.  Sanders even took a crash course in HTML and webdesign getting Personaswimwear.com up and running all on her own.

In essence, Sanders didn't just dream, she actually made it a reality all on her own, which is a story that could inspire any woman who wants to one day start her own business but lacks the know-how.  Sanders now has some answers she's willing to share with those who are ready to start the next chapter in their life.
