BARRANADA
COMPANY, LED BY ENTREPRENEUR NANCY MOSES,
RECEIVES NATIONAL ACCLAIM, EXPANDS PRODUCT LINE
Company Launches New Mid-Priced Line of Shirts
Chappell Hill, Texas, October, 2004 --- Barranada Company today
announced that it has experienced tremendous growth and is expanding
its Barranada Shirt Company product line.
"We have been overwhelmed by the demand for our Barranada shirts,"
stated Nancy Moses, Owner and Founder of Barranada. "Originally
designed to meet the demand for fine, custom shirts for equestrians,
these classic, timeless shirts have begun receiving recognition
throughout the fashion industry."
"As part of our company's growth, we are adding a mid-priced range
of shirts to further meet the desires of the marketplace," stated
Moses.
"Our new mid-priced line of shirts includes a Ladies Classic White
fitted shirt, as well as a Mens Chambray shirt. Both are made of
exquisite 100% cotton fabric and are accented with the signature
Barranada brand mother of pearl buttons," said Ms. Moses.
Ms. Moses is an entrepreneur and founder of numerous businesses
as well as a world class cutting horse competitor. A rancher and
designer, Ms. Moses began riding competitively at the age of 14
and has achieved national recognition in cutting horse events from
Texas to Canada.
Ms. Moses is the granddaughter of the late famed Houston businessman,
John W. Mecom, Sr. She founded Barranada in the spring of 1999,
with the vision of carrying on the family tradition of the Bar Nothing
brand, which is now the Barranada logo. Since the company's launch,
Barranada's products have received national acclaim throughout the
fashion industry and have been featured in publications including
O Magazine, Allure, and Town & Country.
Barranada Shirt Company was founded by Ms. Moses in 1999 to serve
the equestrian market. The shirts can now be seen from the Winners
Circle to Madison Avenue. The collection consists of several classic
styles for men and women, all in fresh colors and made of 100% cotton.
The shirts are finely seamed and punctuated with mother of pearl
logo buttons. They are sold in the company's headquarters and store
based in Chappell Hill, Texas, online at www.barranada.com, and
at numerous retail outlets across the country.
In 2003, Ms. Moses launched Barranada Genuine Alligator, featuring
a line of accessories ranging from handbags to belts to alligator
pillows. The origin of the alligator skins was the family's Southern
Louisiana Marsh land, known for the highest quality of alligator
skins available today. After the tremendous success of Barranada
Genuine Alligator, Ms. Moses recently sold this business to refocus
her efforts on the rapid growth and expansion of Barranada Shirt
Company.
