victoria brandt
Local Heroes, A clothing brand from Warsaw, Poland created by Areta and Karolina. They manufacture everything in Poland which has made them somewhat local heroes back home because they followed their dream and stuck to their motto: "DOING REAL STUFF SUCKS".
How the brand got famous: Justin Bieber
"My partner, Karolina, that I do business with, she was a huge Justin Bieber fan. On day she just found the news that he bought a new house. She was so bored that she googled his address on google maps by literally the shape of the pool. So we had it, but we did not know if that was actually his address and the possibility of him getting the package because we just sent it the cheapest air mail in a package that looked more like a bomb than a present, like I would be afraid to open it. So, the possibility of him actually getting the package, and getting it into his hands, because I do not think Justin Bieber opens his own mail, and wearing it and somebody photographing him in it was like one in a million, and it all happened."
