So, how do you start a business like ThaiDye.com?

There are probably many ways to do this but this is how it started for us. Gigi being from Thailand brought with her the the artistic ability and love for clothing and Gunter threw into the mix his computer abilities.

Gigi worked in the fashion industry and Gunter was riding the good times of the internet bubble and at this time Gigi’s brother brought some nice tie dye outfits for Gunter from a trip to Thailand.

This stuff was great, nice colors and so comfortable to wear. So whenever Gunter could he now wore these outfits, even though some well-meaning friends tried to tease him once in a while with statements that he forgot to change in the morning etc. But in general reactions were great.

Usually in the form “Where did you get those from??” – “Wow, where can I get those?”. The second question I only could answer with the impractical answer – go to Thailand.

Finally that sank in here – there was a need – and this realization finally got us started. Bringing tie-dye from Thailand directly asked for the name ThaiDye and I was so surprised that this name as actually available when I tried to register it.

Once the name was there and a rudimentary website up – that was the actual beginning.

You can go to the main ThaiDye.com site and for example check out all the unique women’s jackets.
