Our Investors group here in the UK follow most athletic wear retailers and manufacturers in the USA, Australia and Great Britain. Having said, that our research and our sources at Kohl's say they only carries VATA Brasil on-line as a test prior to listing in the stores. They are also looking at carrying the VATA Brasil plus size line. They aslo say the line is seldom discounted. As for the USA, Bravada could make an impact if VATA Brasil was marketed properly. Mel B and Kim Kardashian raved about it when they wore the line. The girls on your TV Show The Bachelor of last season sang the praises of VATA Brasil. We had talked with the producers of the show and they were equally impressed. Professional Sport teams in Canada use VATA Brasil as a vendor for cheer uniforms ( see Toronto Rock and Toronto Argonauts and Edmonton Eskimos). Australia plus size is doing well with an on-line retailer http://www.inspirationalplus.com/#
We believe within a year or two we will see an IPO or some public offering regarding VATA Brasil and continue to to keep them in our research portfolio as we do Bravada, Active wear USA, RSK Sports of Great Britain,etc. They are presently distributed in the USA by two companies. Canaren Inc ( very large internationally) and a small company covering the east coast of the USA called Houston Projects and Distribution. Both have exhibited at an apparel show called MAGIC in Las Vegas our research shows.
