How did Sisterwould get into retailers like Revolve and Chemist Warehouse?

By reaching out from the very beginning — "opportunity doesn't just come, you have to go and get that opportunity."

Floriye describes a flywheel: from one opportunity you gain credibility to go into a different store. Once she could tell someone "we're in Chemist Warehouse," they'd immediately want to see it. The brand started direct-to-consumer, then realised it should be getting into businesses too, because having a retail presence "really helps grow the brand and the business."
