One of the factors that led to Little opening a warehouse and storefront in McKinney in 2022 is that Texas is more centralized than Washington, which makes shipping the business’s apparel more time and cost e cient, Kim said. The speci cs In addition to the core product line which includes black and heather grey hoodies, crew- necks, joggers, rompers, shorts and denim items, new products are made available every two weeks. Kim said customers can visit the showroom to shop before new lines are available for online purchase. “Customers have early access to those launches in this showroom. Sometimes it’s a week before
the launch, sometimes it’s a couple days before the launch, but I normally post that on our [Little Bipsy] Facebook Texas page,” Kim said. “Brittani does a lot of Instagram stories—sneak peeks. People who were waiting for an item can go to McKinney, versus having to wait for it to be put online.” The impact In 2024, representatives of Little Bipsy’s McKinney warehouse donated new clothing to 31 local nonpro ts, which Kim said lines up with the company’s vision statement: “to be God’s love in action.” Nonpro t recipients include maternity homes for homeless women, child advocacy centers, foster care closets and more. Kim said customers appreciate the community mindfulness the company exhibits. “People come for the comfort, coziness and soft fabrics, but then they’re like ‘Wow! I really love your mission, and I want to continue to shop here’,” Kim said.
