We are Sarah and Prue, two sisters from Sydney, Australia who started FLATOUTaustralia in 2002 because we absolutely love our soft and cuddly FLATOUTbears. We first started selling our FLATOUTbears over the internet. This then developed into supplying a few gorgeous stores in Sydney, then around Australia and we had such a fabulous response the FLATOUTbears are now exported to the USA, UK, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Hong Kong, Italy, Belgium, The Netherlands and New Zealand with more to follow!! So not only are our FLATOUTbears loved in Australia they are also being loved and cuddled all over the world. How did we get into it? Well, retail is in our blood and we feel as if we have both been in retail forever, starting as babies in our Dad's antique shop then our Mum's homewares shop in Balmain. We feel we learnt the trade through just being there, through osmosis, so it seemed only natural that one day we would start our own small business together.  SARAH NOVATIAfter 10 years in Marketing and Communications I am now mum to the gorgeous Mia and divine Dominic. I love to shop, I know what's out there for kids and from a mum's perspective I know that the FLATOUTbear becomes a child's best friend. Just ask Dominic, he has one for bed, one for cubby and one for just in case. PRUE TROLLOPE With a background in horticulture and landscape design, a few years spent living in Asia (Cambodia and China), I came back to Sydney wanting to do something I was passionate about. Starting FLATOUTaustralia meant initially I thought I would have lots of flexible time but then the FLATOUTbears hit the stores and all of a sudden we had a full time and busy business to run. It's fun, it's exciting, it's hard work but it's ours and I love that about having this business. Plus, I really love the FLATOUTbears. Some of the stories we hear make all that hard work worthwhile. |
