I ended up getting laid off, and I was, at that time, a single mom with two kids. I had to figure something out.\u00a0<\/p>\n People would buy things off of me that they thought were really perfect and cute. From that, I said, \u201cOK, I\u2019m gonna try to do a business out of this.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n And that\u2019s how Cute Case was born, and it\u2019s been going really good.<\/p>\n Francis: <\/strong>When was this?\u00a0<\/p>\n Hatcher: <\/strong>It was around 2018, 2019. The economy was changing; you had to figure something out. People were getting more OK with buying secondhand.\u00a0<\/p>\n With how the economy is, you really want to trust the people that your things are coming from. You want to know them.\u00a0<\/p>\n I started with my friends and even some of my family, donating some things, and before I knew it, it was working. My customers learned I was a woman-owned, Black-owned business and had children of my own, so they really wanted to support me anyway they could.\u00a0<\/p>\n That\u2019s pretty much how it worked. Now, luckily, I know good people like at Black Coffee and Franklin & Anthony Haberdashery. I also do live sales and I do a lot of selling online.\u00a0<\/p>\n Francis:<\/strong> Any trends you see as to what kind of things people are buying now?\u00a0<\/p>\n Hatcher:<\/strong> We\u2019re here in Texas, so Western is always going to move. But now it\u2019s like the trendy thing, because of \u201cYellowstone.\u201d You also see people in California wanting Western now. You’ll see people on the East Coast wanting Western.\u00a0<\/p>\n I have a friend up in Seattle who does a lot of live sales, and you won\u2019t find any Western up there. It\u2019s just not their culture. But now they\u2019re seeing it mainstream.\u00a0<\/p>\n You think about Beyonc\u00e9, who\u2019s from Texas, right? And she really took that look kind of global. Now, everybody wants cowboy boots. It\u2019s not in their local store. They\u2019re going to go secondhand. They\u2019re going to get it wherever they can, so they can have the look.\u00a0<\/p>\n Francis: <\/strong>As you said, I\u2019ve heard it referred to as the \u201cYellowstone\u201d effect.<\/p>\n Hatcher: <\/strong>That\u2019s true. Think about that: The whole \u201cYellowstone\u201d movement. The thing is, we get comfortable because it\u2019s here. We grew up with it. Now it\u2019s definitely making its way nationwide.\u00a0<\/p>\n Francis: <\/strong>And you obviously sell online.\u00a0<\/p>\n Hatcher:<\/strong> I do primarily live shows, but since I\u2019ve seen growth, I\u2019m also working on a website now. I know people still want to be able to click and buy.<\/p>\n The part that I love so much is the personal sales. That\u2019s why most of my things are live sales. But if you go to my Instagram page or even my Facebook page \u2013 I ship things every day. But the best experience is going to be my live shows.<\/p>\n Francis:<\/strong> So this is your business now?\u00a0<\/p>\n Hatcher: <\/strong>Yes, I get to meet [people] and actually provide things at a fraction of what it costs new. Because no matter what, affordability is still a big piece of what it is.\u00a0<\/p>\n The way the economy has changed, it touches everyone, whether you\u2019re a millionaire or a billionaire down to the single mom or hard-working people. It\u2019s touching your life. So I get everyone from the single mom coming in who just needs something to wear for an interview, trying to get a leg up, and I can afford to sell her a suit for $20-$25. I love that part of my business.\u00a0<\/p>\n Bob Francis is business editor for the Fort Worth Report. Contact him at bob.francis@fortworthreport.org<\/a>.
