The 6 Most Innovative Fashion Products Ever Featured On Shark Tank


sharktank2Recently, I dug through the Shark Tank archives to bring you the most amazing beauty products ever seen on the show. In the midst of compiling that list I only got sucked into a vortex of show clips three to seventeen times, which is what I like to call a rousing success. This time around, I’m looking for the lace socks, innovative undergarments, and even workout gear of the Shark Tank world. Which brands were able to make it past their stint on the show to become successful fashion companies? Let’s find out.
grace and lace tunicDuring a dangerous pregnancy that forced her to remain on full bed rest Melissa Hinnant began knitting. Tragically, the Hinnants ultimately lost their baby girl. But what started out as a hobby to pass the time blossomed into a full-fledged business in honor of their unborn daughter, Halle. Melissa has expanded the brand from just socks and boot toppers to a full clothing line, and the couple has partnered with Angel House, contributing a portion of each sale to building orphanages in India.
2. The BoobyPak ($55 – $65)boobypakC.C. Conrad, founder of Boobypak, was on a recent episode of Shark Tank and absolutely crushed it. I was blown away by her poise and guts in such a nerve-wracking situation. She pitched the Boobypak, also known as “the fanny pak for your rack,” and earned an $80,000 investment from Barbara Corcoran for 25% of the company. Seriously, how many times have you tucked your phone and credit card into your bra only to get them all covered in boob sweat? Problem solved.
hoodie pillowSure it looks a little goofy, but I can’t help but want to take the Hoodie Pillow for a spin. Not only can you thread your headphones perfectly through a little portal, but it’s made of sweatshirt material. As someone who is almost exclusively freezing while sleeping, the potential to maintain some of the heat escaping out the top of my head is very appealing. When Rebecca Rescate brought this product to the Tank in season 4 it was actually her second time there (she got a deal in season 2 with a different product), and she got an asking price deal from Robert Herjavec.

The 6 Most Innovative Fashion Products Ever Featured On Shark Tank

mission beltFor the (or just a) man in your life, I present the Mission Belt. These guys came into the Tank with a clear goal: feed the hungry. They donate $1 from every sale in the form of $25 micro-loans to farmers around the world. It’s an interesting process, and an interesting product. The Mission Belt completely does away with the traditional buckle and holes that get warped over time. Oh, and they’ve recently partnered up to produce licensed collegiate, NHL, and NBA Mission Belts… in case you’re into that kind of thing.
lumiAnother recent Shark Tank episode featured Jesse Genet of Lumi, the innovative way to make your own photo-printed t-shirts with just the sun and their patented Inkodye. Jesse impressively stood her ground with the Sharks, ultimately walking out without a deal. Considering they’ve raised about $268,000 on Kickstarter so far, there’s more than enough interest in the product to make Lumi a big success.
skinnyshirt shark tankTerrible name, genius product. Even though founder Julie Kalimian left the Tank without a deal, her idea is absolutely brilliant and I’m about to buy one right now. I love the look of having a collared shirt underneath a sweater, or a shirt tail hanging out the bottom, but it never looks right unless it you buy one of those attached ones from J.Crew. Presenting…the SkinnyShirt. You can get the same look while keeping a slim line underneath your sweater and being comfortable/not a million degrees. Yes, yes, yes!
