Launch bikini website Habinki

Habinki Website

Chloe Holding, one of thenextweb and thenextwomen’s mentees, has defied the credit crunch and launched her website HABINKI. The website offers a range of custom-made bikinis and necklaces.

Chloe set up Habinki from a passion she had for travelling to exotic places and buying clothes, translating these interests into designing bikinis and sourcing manufacturing and ultimately setting up her own e- business in sexy, glamorous and flattering swimwear for women.

Chloe describes the process of quiting her job in London’s city to becoming an entrepreneur as tough, saying that “the transition was not smooth, not just because of the mountainous challenges involved in designing, sourcing and financing a new fashion brand, but also because of the powerful anti- entrepreneurial attitude among colleagues and peers in the UK.” Ultimately she defied those attitudes proving that “with persistence and a little blind faith” al lot can be done.
