Latina Entrepreneur Creates Her Own Opportunities With A New Business Venture

June 21st, 2007, Chicago, Ill – Entrepreneur Marta Soto-Martines had always dreamed of starting her own company, after losing her job in the beginning of 2007 she turned that moment in her life into an opportunity for herself.

What started out as a way to earn extra cash selling organic t-shirts from a booth several years ago quickly became the foundation of her plan to starting her own business, with her natural concern for the environment Ms. Martines set off to create her new green fashion company.

Introducing Bangledox Eco-Friendly Clothing, a new Latino owned t-shirt company thats helping set the standard for green fashion while incorporating environmentally safe materials in their clothing line.

Organic clothing and green eco friendly fashion have entered mainstream consumer consciousness with a slew of media attention, and for good reason. Its great for the environment and it helps draw attention to a very important topic.

After a humble start at local flea markets in St. Roberts, MO back in 2003, and seeing that the t-shirts received a good response still at local Chicago events, the company recently decided to launch its first online store to the public; the new site is located at www.Bangledox.com.

“I originally started with just a few t-shirts selling at local events in my hometown” says Marta, I’m having a great time, and I enjoy what I’m doing..that’s what’s important when starting a venture”

The owner hopes to open stores in cities nationwide in the future, as well as help encourage consumers to purchase more eco-friendly products, and to hopefully encourage other companies to use more organic practices .

The site includes helpful tips on saving energy as well as an Eco Links page that list other great organic companies for anyone looking to help the envrionment as well as seek out other great eco-friendly companies.

Bangledox is grounded in the concept that the clothing industry and environment can co-exist, all of their clothing is sweat-shop free and produced in U.S.

The clothing line continues to gain fans and is hopeful in opening a flagship store in Chicago,IL next Fall.
