#60 Dessy Hairis | From Market Stalls To Selling A Bikini Every 2 Seconds - How She Built A Global Swimwear Brand 

In this episode I sat down with the founder and CEO of Bydee, Dessy Hairis. When Dessy was in high school her Mum taught her how to sew, this led to an interest and blossoming passion for fashion design. As Dessy improved her sewing skills she decided to start selling her bikinis on Facebook and at school and her class mates loved them.


While in University studying fashion design, Dessy started selling her swimwear at market stalls all over Sydney and this is where the traction started to build and the brand began to take off. Bydee has now scaled to a multi-million dollar brand and has establish a loyal customer base all around the globe.


Dessy is extremely humble about her journey and continues to push to create inclusive swimwear for all her Bydee Babes. I'm sure this is just the beginning for Dessy and Bydee and I can't wait to see what the future holds for her and the brand.


In this episode:


  • How Dessy got started by sewing and making bikini's in her bedroom with her Mum.
  • Why Dessy finally decided to leave the markets behind and focus on e-commerce.
  • The growing pains the business has faced while trying to scale fast during Covid and what the team had to do to overcome those challenges.
  • Why selling your products at market stalls in one of the best ways to get to know your customer and understand exactly what they want.
  • How they managed outgrowing multiple offices and warehouse in the space of a couple of years.
  • How Dessy planned the campaign that sold a bikini every 2 seconds!
  • The exact process of planning, designing and and launching each piece of swimwear.
  • The reason why Dessy has hired a general manager to run the day to day of the business
  • Why overseas travel is so important.

  • “There Needs To Be More Out There Than This” - Why Denan Kemp is Grateful To Live In 2024

    13:50
    Denan Kemp, is a former NRL Player (Brisbane Broncos), the Host of Australia's No.1 Sports Podcast 'Bloke In A Bar' and the Founder of Bloke Beer.Denan was an extremely talented athlete who had contact offers from the NRL, AFL & the A-League before choosing to sign with the Brisbane Broncos, whom he played 32 games for before moving across the ditch to the New Zealand Warriors (11 games). Regardless of his natural talent, Denan's playing career ended in a rather disappointing fashion at the age of just 27.With no money in the bank and no qualifications following a life of a professional athlete, Denan had no choice but to start training as an apprentice electrician on above ground mines as a way to provide for himself and his future family. It was during this time working on the mines in freezing temperatures that he realised "there had to be more to life than this". After listening to the Joe Rogan experience for hours on end whilst completing monotonous he was inspired to start his own podcast but in a niche that he felt that he had an advantage on against all of his competition, interviewing NRL players about their journeys and careers.Denan's story is a testament to the power of passion, perseverance, and the ability to turn a vision into reality. Join us as we take a closer look at how Denan Kemp has not only created a beloved beer brand but has also established a media platform that celebrates the sport he loves, making Bloke in a Bar a symbol of camaraderie, sportsmanship, and the Aussie spirit of having a good time with mates.---Apply to be mentored by Dylan to start & scale your own E-commerce brand, Limited spots available! 👇https://calendly.com/viralbrandbuilder/applyformentorshipFollow the channel here👇Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lifemoneyandlove/?hl=enTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lifemoneyandloveYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3oNnDapuoEEdcLqGsTg30QFollow me here👇Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dylanmullanTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dylanmullanFollow Denan here👇Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/denankemp/?hl=enBloke In A Bar: https://www.instagram.com/blokeinabar/?hl=en
