I love rooting for the small fish in the big pond and Gigi Hill’s handbags are definitely the small fry in the cutthroat world of fashion.- Chandler Harris, Contest Judge

The Good:
Gigi Hill’s designer handbags have received notable press coverage, and over the past 18 months, sales have reached approximately $150,000 annually.

The Bad:
The retail fashion industry is saturated, and Gigi Hill faces strong competition from large, worldwide handbag manufacturers.

The Bottom Line:
In order for Gigi Hill to expand beyond small boutiques and into large department stores, the company needs aggressive salespeople and a sound management team.
