Deal Alert: Celebrity-Loved Jewelry Brand with Retail Power & DTC Upside
📍 Location: US-based (with China fulfillment)
💰 Asking Price: $3.7M
💸 Revenue: $3.2M (2023) | Avg. Earnings: $941K (last 2 yrs)
🌟 Why This Business is Great:
✔ Built-In Brand Equity with Star Power
This isn’t your average Shopify store — the brand has landed in Revolve, ASOS, FabFitFun, and Urban Outfitters. Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, and other celebs have worn the pieces. That’s not just PR; it’s social proof at scale.
✔ Lean Model, Strong Margins
US-based operations, China fulfillment, and low inventory (just ~$50K–$100K at a time) make for a capital-light operation. With 80% of revenue from wholesale and the rest growing DTC, it’s a rare mix of stable and scalable.
✔ Licensing + Freshness = Staying Power
They’re not coasting — they add 200 new SKUs/year and already have licensing deals (like NBC’s Wicked). In fashion, freshness is key. They’ve nailed that rhythm.
🚧 Challenges & Considerations:
❌ Heavy Wholesale Concentration
Revolve makes up 48% of revenue. It’s great leverage—but risky concentration. If that relationship cools, there’s exposure. DTC is growing, but currently only ~20% of sales.
❌ Taste-Driven Business
This brand has a strong aesthetic. That’s a moat—but also a challenge. You’ll need someone who gets it (or keep the founder close) to maintain product-market fit.
❌ Founder-Led Relationships
From suppliers to retail buyers, much of the magic likely sits with the founder. Fortunately, he’s open to staying on. Still, you’ll want to transition those relationships to the company, not the person.
🚀 Growth Opportunities:
🔹 Scale DTC with Paid Ads They’ve barely scratched the surface. With real budget, creative, and a growth team, the DTC channel could explode—especially with the social proof already in place.
🔹 Add New Retailers & Geos If you can get into Nordstrom, Selfridges, or even luxury boutiques abroad, wholesale could grow fast with minimal CAC.
🔹 Expand Licensing & Collabs Pop culture collabs and film tie-ins are smart and scalable. The Wicked deal shows they’re capable—double down on that.
🔹 Build a Sub-Brand or Subscription Arm Think monthly “drops,” gifting boxes, or styling clubs. Their SKU cadence and aesthetic give them this optionality.
🔍 My Analysis:
This is a rare fashion deal — profitable, lean, and already in big retail. The celeb factor isn't just hype; it’s a trust trigger that could drive conversions for years. Yes, it’s heavily wholesale right now, but that gives you a revenue floor while you scale DTC.
The risks? It’s a taste-driven business, and a lot depends on the founder’s vision and relationships. But if you keep him on board short-term, plug in a DTC growth operator, and firm up ops, this could be a brand that 3–5x’s in value with smart execution.
This is less of a lifestyle business, more of a marketing play. If you’re good at eComm, growth, or love consumer brands—this could be your stylish, scalable winner.

Automotive Properties REIT Acquires Rivian-Leased Property in Florida for $13.5M
Canada’s Automotive Properties REIT just acquired a Florida-based automotive property for ~$13.5M. The tenant? None other than Rivian—one of the biggest names in electric vehicles. The deal was funded via their revolving credit line, showing confidence in the asset and the EV sector.
🧠 My Take:
This isn’t just a real estate play—it’s a quiet bet on Rivian’s long-term presence. EV companies need stable, service-oriented locations as they scale, and landlords who secure those relationships early could see long-term gains. Smart, strategic move for the REIT: buying location and brand heat in one transaction.quietly rolled up this fragmented industry, owning dozens of print facilities nationwide. Sometimes, boring businesses with steady demand are the most profitable to scale.
