Dainty Hooligan - Women's Online Fashion & Clothing Shopping Boutique

 

       Dainty Hooligan was not created by a fashion trained individual with an impressive background & degree, but by a 23 year old Orange County native with a psychology degree & a major addiction to high-end apparel & shoes.

       Jessica Issler, founder & CEO, started what she thought would only be a "Healthy Hobby" but soon blossomed into a successful, fast-growing business. All the money she had & didn’t have supported a raging clothing & shoe addiction. With over $40,000 in debt at 21 years old, something needed to change: spending freeze and a get-out-of-debt quick plan.  During that time she became friends with clothing showroom reps & owners that sparked an interest to sell high-end, designer apparel on eBay. Within two years of part-time selling on eBay & full time real estate, she opened up her first store "Chrysalis" in Tulsa, OK...wait, what? Oklahoma you say? Raised by a single mother & oldest of three, born & raised California girl, followed her mom and siblings to Oklahoma.

        "I thought my mom was crazy to move from California to Oklahoma, I thought there was no way I'd move to Oklahoma...Never say Never!!! People were super friendly, the houses were brand new, affordable & beautiful. Finally debt free Chrysalis Boutique was opened on a tight budget. The meaning behind Chrysalis was Transformation. If I could just get girls & women in my shop, I could make them feel like a million bucks with my merchandise.  (I wanted to make these women feel as good as I did when I used to splurge on a vintage Chanel Dress or the latest Louis Vuitton heels but without that 'I got to hide this from my husband' kind of guilt.) I steered away from high-end, not only because I had just gotten out of debt, but the recession hit. Quite frankly I wouldn't have changed a thing about that looking back now. After surviving the first year going into my second year, a bomb was dropped and I found out my mom was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Within 7 weeks she passed away. My very first manager, who is still with company today, Sharon, walked into Chrysalis within weeks of my mother passing said to me ' Hey honey, so anytime you need a break from the shop, I live a mile away, I would love to help if you need it..." This was one of many miracles that I wonder if my mom orchestrated. To this day I am indebted to Sharon, and thanks to her I kept that store open and moved myself and siblings back to California closer to relatives.

        In Newport Beach, store number 2, I wanted to come up with a meaningful name... "Dainty Hooligan" was the crowd favorite.  I look back at all that has been accomplished and knew the labor was not in vain. I know now that my success can be dedicated to my bad-ass mother."  

      In 2013, five stores later, www.DaintyHooligan.com is out there for the world to see. Currently Dainty Hooligan has 35 employees and is growing leaps & bounds.  Dainty Hooligan has a promise to her customers, buy what you'll wear and feel like a million bucks in it.

"This is only the beginning, I can say in the next year or two (2015/ 2016) there will be some awesome surprises." – Jessica Issler
