ENTREPRENEUR STORYTIME: GETTING SUED BY MARC JACOBS & 2 SECRETS REVEALED! || BEHIND THE BRAND EP. 2

[@KaraCorey]

Love that your sharing the behind the scenes. So proud of everything you've accomplished and that you never give up Yami ❤️

[@Yamimufdi]

Thanks, Kara!

[@chloebrcn]

I'm a fitness apparel owner myself and I find it amazing how you're showing the BTS behind your brand. Thank you for being an inspiration to many!

[@rebekahk5782]

When you said Levavi swim, I literally got chills. I’m so pumped for you! I CANNOT wait!

[@madelinehixon]

I relate to this so much as a small business owner 🙌🏼 Still can’t believe I met you on a bus in NH when you were starting all this. I now have my own brand that gives back to charities surrounding COVID relief, @madx1of1 . Small world!!

[@gines2634]

I love that you are working toward being a sustainable brand! This is so important and it is amazing to see an influencer brand doing this. Any thoughts on moving production to the USA?

[@CindyVic]

I love this series even though I don’t want to start a clothing line. Lol! I just like you. So since you’re going to go the sustainable route and leave the fast fashion scene, will you continue to work with companies and do try on hauls and those types of videos or will you be more thrifty now?

[@ryleighschultz2602]

Yami - I have followed you (& Taz) for years now, and it has been SO fun to watch you grow as a person, and in business. I have always appreciated that you stand your ground with your beliefs and don’t just take the easy route that SO many people do in the fitness/activewear world. I will forever support your launches. Thanks for being you and being a light for the rest of us!

[@mts2457]

uhh what, the marc jacobs doesn't look anything like it. they are nuts

[@beagunn]

Eeek, so exciting!!! I’m loving everything your sharing. I’ve followed you since NH and although I had an idea of how hard you’re working to make your dreams a reality...this gives me a whole new insight. I’m so proud of you, Yami. I’m so pumped for what’s to come. Congrats on the Levavi Swim! Yay!!

[@Yamimufdi]

cue tears! thank you girl! I really appreciate that and for your CONSISTENT LOVE AND SUPPORT!

[@vdzmar_5979]

Love that you’re sharing and being raw about your process! I love love love all of your items 💗😍 love Levavi 💙💙

[@perlajuarez9056]

I loved hearing this journey. But I am sitting here like… who in the world would unlike this video and why???? 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@hectorvalentino1518]

F@#K Mark Jacobs, Do You!!! There are plenty of Room at the Top for you Too. Never stop striviiiing !!

[@thealchemist6812]

I know this might be too straight but can you please recommend some of good manufacturers you found on alibaba with adequate amount of MOQ requirements that basically you can trust

[@katcarrier7124]

OG launch leggings are still my go to airplane travel leggings! 🙌🙌

[@husein_patel]

Thank you sooooo much for sharing your story. I am in the process of starting my own brand and have been researching for months. Watching your episode 1 and 2 i have learned a lot so thank you very much. Would love to have the chance to speak to you in more detail about your brand and challenges faced on a more personal level.

[@tawanacole8181]

I love watching you yami. I love the behind the brand series. I am thinking about starting my clothing line so I was very excited about this series. I’ve been trying to get into your Facebook group for the zoom meetings..

[@MsFrobinson]

Love your confidence toward your brand. Can wait to start my own athletics line. You’re such an inspiration!

[@lils941]

Thank you for sharing your journey and being so transparent! As a tiny person with a big dream and no financial help other than my own, it's refreshing seeing this. Thank you so much!

[@OsoActual]

You’re genuinely a good person! The authenticity comes through, and that is a great thing to see. Your brand... Yami... I truly hope it climbs to heights beyond any imagination. You rock!!

[@tonys490]

how do you communicate right Pantone colours to manufacturers ... I can never get colours right ... thanks

[@Yamimufdi]

Each Pantone has a specific number so when communicating, use those exact numbers!!!

[@MelBellV]

I know I don’t know you personally, but I FEEL like I do, so I can say that I’m SO proud of you! You are making the hard choice to go sustainable and that’s not the east route, but I know it will pay off for you. Also, I’m pumped for your swim line. I’ve never felt like my body type was represented in a swim line but I know you’re going to put out something that I will fall in love with. I hope 🤞 the process goes smoothly for you!

[@Yamimufdi]

thank you so much! I'll be honest, it was a hard decision bc like you said, it's MUCH harder but I'm up for the challenge! Why not make a change in the world? Ya kno? :)

[@MelBellV]

Yami Mufdi Absolutely! You care and it shows. I’m a big fan of integrity.

[@bailiegooch134]

Levavi Swim?! Omg I’m so excited! I need a flattering swimsuit🙏🏼

[@Yamimufdi]

SURPRISE!!

[@msnene884]

Love the business videos :) Were you working with mostly overseas manufacturers or U.S? Also, as far as Trademarking the brand-name can I trademark now without any merchandise? I have no idea when I can be able to get to the product production but I def am firm on the brand name and don't want it taken while I work on the product look... Please give some advice on that. Thanks

[@angelconnolly210]

Where did you end up finding manufacturers? Alibaba or domestic?

[@courtneysweeney441]

for someone who is starting out ... when would you start planning for the next season. Like I am in Northern canada and its spring right now. so I am aiming for summer my samples are getting logo right now so.. I hope to have them in 1 week ....

[@kaewtaa4516]

I sooo glad that I found your video series! because im about to start my own business brand (even in the different country! but the content and knowledge are awesome and i still continue watching thisss) your video content answers lots of the questions in my head! very useful and i also happy your brand!! and the way you consider about our planet and environment cause i was planing to do it too!! Goodluck with everything x

[@maggyme3]

I Appreciate how genuine authentic and real your videos are 🙏💎💎💎

[@ashefongugu5697]

Please dont apologize for rambling. u r not. you are speaking the truth from your experience and I appreciate it.

[@krutikagulvady6748]

Thank you for sharing your journey and learnings! Congratulations on your new swim line! I wanted to know more about your steps in deciding the sustainable fabrics suppliers and manufacturers for those fabrics. Waiting for your future videos! Goodluck!

[@lahal882]

After seeing the intro i was planning on asking you about the ethical and sustainable side of Levavi (also perfect choice on swapping the little metal thing for the embroidery, the embroidery makes it special and elegant). And then you spoke about it... yay! im so excited for you and cant wait to order my own pieces:)). Is this also the reason youre stopping working together with Shein? ( would be cool :)) ) and as someone else asked already: are you still looking into production in the US? If not can you talk a bit more about how you know for sure that the manufacturers workers get paid and treated well? Much luck and love ♡

[@exoticflava]

New Subbie and I loved this very informative video. It has helped a lot.

[@rachelwamwere2275]

So awesome to see the grwoth. Levavi is going to set the pace. I like the assertiveness with which you made that statement! Levavi swim will definitely be beautiful!

[@kamirenhumphrey1394]

This is so encouraging to watch! this is a dream of mine! I am so inspired! Thank you!!

[@RunningAwayWithLife]

SO EXCITED FOR THIS SWIM LAUNCH!

[@sophiamariedee]

I’m so pumped you’re doing a swimwear launch because I feel like you’ll actually design swimwear I’ll love!!! Eeksss!!!!

[@Yamimufdi]

Sophia! You're so sweet! Let me know if there's anything you think is missing from the swim industry or types of suits you want/like!

[@sophiamariedee]

Yami Mufdi I think the only thing I crave is for a high waisted bottom to not be SUPER cheeky lol all the ones I buy I’m like oh no I’m not trying to show that much of my butt when I go to the pool personally

[@lynthom7921]

So stoked to see your brand move in this direction!!! 🏋️‍♀️❤️🌍 Thank you Yami!

[@lemonhue]

[@Yamimufdi]

thank you for being so excited!!!

[@Jem4u90]

Ugh it makes me so sad that corporate makes it difficult for small businesses to expand sizes!! 😔😔😔 hopefully you continue to be blessed enough to be able to expand on sizing. Just in case I’m an xl in tops and xxl in bottoms lmfao. Might end up fitting into xl bottoms though with the workouts you have I been sweating my life away 😂😂😂.

[@Yamimufdi]

haha, noted!! And thank you! I will saw though, you probably will fit into our XL Joggers! ;)
