In the wake of the pandemic and the Great Resignation, more and more people are choosing to turn their creative passions into exciting side hustles and businesses. One industry in particular that has seen unprecedented growth in recent years has been custom apparel and embroidery.
Embroidered clothing has always enjoyed popularity. With the ability to start an embroidery business from home far more accessible than ever before, more and more people are leaving their boring 9-5 job to open up their own custom apparel shop.
One company that is leading the way to help make this industry more accessible to new decorators is Ricoma. Their top-of-the-line embroidery machines and apparel decorating equipment have helped millions of people the world over turn their dreams of owning a custom apparel business into a reality.
“Our decorating equipment helps people start a business from the comfort of their own home,” says Ricoma CEO Henry Ma. “We are committed to providing every customer with the tools and resources they need to succeed.”
