Short Summary
Hi, my name is James. I was born and raised in Montreal and have worked in men’s fashion for the better part of 20 years. Rich in art and design, the city has provided a sense of architectural beauty and a population of fashion forward thinkers. The 4 seasons in this city are drastically different with very wet falls and springs, hot summers and snowy winters. Making snowmen, skiing and sipping whisky in the winters are loads of fun but we also face a multitude of challenges, such as icy sidewalks and knee high snow banks. Proper winter boots are a must! However, wearing bulky, heavy and sometimes uncomfortable winter boots are a nuisance. I wanted to create something that would both fuse style and functionality where someone could not only feel safer walking on treacherous terrain but look good doing it. If we can attain our campaign goal, it will effectively launch the product and facilitate the production of our first lot to be delivered to our contributors and initial retail sales channels. From there, we would like to add to our product line in terms of offering new color ways and even printed styles.
What We Need & What You Get
Our campaign goal is $100,000.
This will finance the creation of the moulds and the production of the first lot of galoshes.
As a contributor, you will receive a pair of Kraken galoshes at a fraction of the retail cost and be the first to showcase these stylish accessories.
If we do not reach our goal, we will evaluate if the project can still be launched. This would all depend of course on the total funds raised. If we deem that it will not be feasible, then we will reimburse the amount.
The Impact
As a contributor you will help create a unique product that provides a fine balance between functionality and style. In Montreal alone, we have thousands of cases of injuries due to icy conditions every winter. We truly believe that our galoshes will help prevent those nasty falls.
