CEO Lucy Fashion: From a stay-at-home mom to the owner of a trendy big-size fashion brand

"When I first started my business, there was a time when my husband and I shared a bowl of noodles for ten thousand. But it didn't feel like a hardship... I was lucky to have a husband and family who supported me a lot. It was like, I just had to rush forward, and my husband would always be there to "support" me," CEO Lucy happily recounted about the early days of starting her business.

Lucy started working part-time while still in school. Due to economic difficulties, she had to take a year off from school to work to earn money to pay for her tuition and graduate.

When Lucy opened her first store, she had little capital and no money to rent a large space. The first store was quite small, and it was the result of a great effort from a recent graduate, as well as the love and support of many people.

After a while of opening the shop, Lucy saved up some capital and decided to open her own workshop. Despite many hardships and difficulties, she always received wholehearted support from both families, especially her husband and mother-in-law.

Recalling this period, Ms. Lucy recalled: "At that time, I was worried because I was afraid that opening a factory would not be successful. My husband said: "Just do it, if you fail, we will go home, you and I will work together. It's okay!" Thanks to that saying, I was really reassured and devoted myself to overcoming all difficulties to open my first sewing factory."

Finally, after more than a year, the workshop was running smoothly, and business was a little easier. When she had a foothold in the market and the workshop had many orders, Lucy gave birth to her second child and started making big-size clothes.

After giving birth to her second child, Lucy gained weight uncontrollably. Even though she had her own fashion store and sewing workshop, she still couldn't find a suitable outfit to wear. At that time, she felt more understanding of the sacrifices women make.

"I feel sorry for women, wives and mothers, who are often caught up in life and don't pay much attention to their appearance. I want to contribute a small part to help plus-size women like me become more confident and shine more. I started to have the idea of designing and producing clothes for plus-size people."

Lucy personally designs and supervises every stage of production.

After carefully researching the market, she decided not to import goods but to design and produce plus-size clothes herself. Lucy confirmed that 100% of Lucy Bigsize's clothes were designed by her, she personally chose the fabric, chose the color and supervised the production. She always kept in mind: "Every product that reaches the customer must be as neat as possible".

Thanks to its meticulousness and professionalism, Lucy Bigsize has been on the market for 5 years now and has a certain position and always keeps up with new trends in creating trendy products for plus-size people. When talking about the difference, Ms. Lucy affirmed: "I think the difference of Lucy Bigsize is created by the heart. We put our heart into every step, from production to the hands of customers".

To achieve the success she has today, Lucy always feels grateful to have a strong family as her support. Lucy emotionally shared: "I am really lucky to have a husband and family who support and help me a lot. My husband is not only my husband, but also my confidant and companion in every step of my life. He encourages me and supports me both mentally and physically."

Looking back on the journey she has taken, Ms. Lucy cannot help but feel emotional. She believes that to embark on the path of entrepreneurship, one not only needs talent, enthusiasm, and capital, but also diligence, hard work, and a strong spirit to face all challenges.

"I don't think I'm an outstanding person. I'm just a hard-working person, always trying and having a little bit of luck. So I always want to spread to all women that, when you try hard, you will definitely do everything you want. Be confident!"
