“I’ve been seeing Strawberry Shortcake t-shirts everywhere for the last year. I was in Marigny, New Orleans, the 20-something year old barista was wearing a Strawberry Shortcake crop top. I saw a picture of a friend on Instagram in Strawberry Shortcake themed workout clothes at the gym, a 20 something year old server at an LA hotspot started talking about her love for Strawberry Shortcake (the dolls), my 6 year old niece is asking if I make Strawberry Shortcake dolls – everywhere I go, people are either representing this brand or asking about it! The timing is perfect, not just because nostalgia is so hot, the brand is super-relevant in today’s world where folks are wanting something wholesome, inclusive, “feel-good” with an undeniable message of kindness.
