Emmie Howard/Southern Proper

Emmie Howard and her sorority sister shared two common passions among college-aged women: Southern men and fashion. Their uncommon pursuit of that passion? Starting their own men’s clothing brand.

Southern Proper, haberdashery for the Southern gentleman, is a tribute to the southern preppy style. Just check out the brand’s bowties or neckties. As a founder, Emmie wears several hats, from flying to meet with manufacturers around the world, to taking customer orders, to working on the latest season’s collection.

“Some say that clothes should relate to who you are, and I feel the exact same way about my career,” Emmie says. “My upbringing, family values and style are reflected in Southern Proper’s culture and products.”

Product QuickStart was created out of a passion to meet the product development, prototyping, and manufacturing needs of entrepreneurs, start-ups, and small companies.

There is no shortage of engineers, marketing people, and “submission companies” that will gladly take your money and get you nowhere. That’s not Product QuickStart. Their goal is to be honest operators, and do everything they can to help clients understand what they are getting into and their odds of success.
