Greenbleez goes for the green!
Hello, everyone! I'm Margee Barth. One part creator, one part magician, another part die-hard recycler. The main mission of Greenbleez is providing outstanding products that contribute to reducing post-consumer waste. It is also important that each one expressed individuality while bringing back the high quality of American made craftsmanship. The marketplace is ready for eco-conscious gifts and here's our solution!
My background is one that started in design at a very early age with a few sprinkles of entrepreneurship. I worked as a Costume Designer for 12 years, moved into Illustration work, then Fashion. I became very disenchanted with the big fashion houses and the incredible waste factor I had witnessed. At that point, a problem had presented itself and I was driven to find a solution.
Started designing for a company that was interested in remaking from collected materials in a 7 story warehouse. I successfully developed 4 product lines for 2 seasons per year for 3 years. I opened a retail store, merchandised, Created "Art" pieces from recycled materials and launched "Recycled Art Workshops". Trained sewers, introduced production techniques and standards. Opened wholesale accounts and positioned the company in "green" manufacturing.
We need to raise $15,000
PLUS $2000 for supplies and materials
- Each and every reward will be hand made by me...yes this is a Limited Collection. You will be a part of Greenbleez history!
- THIS IS A FIXED FUNDED CAMPAIGN. If we don't raise the amount we'll be extremely saddened. Several years have been invested in R&D, establishing relationships with retailers and craft markets, state tested and approved, state certified for resale along with certification of "green" sustainable practices. We must protect design/intellectual property. Without the legal protection and brand positioning, we can not risk continuing.

Risks & Challenges
We promise your Limited Edition Greenbleez product will be delivered by November 28, 2015, just in time for Holiday giving!
I'm sure some of you are thinking how in the world will she deliver a high-quality product all by herself?
Here's how:
I have production experience and systems in place. Over 20 years working in small production. I have trained sewers and have production techniques from my Industry days.
Greenbleez production has been going for 3 years by myself and I have never missed a deadline or NOT been stocked at a show. I have been producing for this campaign for 3 months.
- I know what I can produce without compromising quality. The production numbers are quite feasible. Production of inventory has been ongoing since Greenbleez's beginning. We're always sewing!
- All my current stores know that it is necessary for me to protect the product and must be done now. They are willing to wait out a (HOLIDAY) season if it means the difference between no inventory for their Holiday season to ensure future success of Greenbleez products.
