Slaying World Hunger: Honey Coast USA Launches New Clothing Line With A Cause

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 8, 2017 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Honey Coast USA might be in its early stages, however, that hasn't stopped Violet Su, who splits her time between California and her native Taiwan, from reaching a big milestone. In just a few short months, she has distributed approximately 1,000 meals to people in need in major cities all over the world and has plans to donate even more.

The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization estimates that about 795 million people of the 7.3 billion people in the world, or one in nine, suffer from chronic undernourishment. Honey Coast hopes to help lower those startling statistics by doing its part.

According to Su, it was an encounter several years ago with a homeless man in downtown Sydney, Australia that inspired the launch of her company. While grabbing lunch, she found a disheveled man on the ground begging for food. Compelled to help, she handed him her own meal.

"The experience inspired me to combine my passion for fashion and love of food into a company that does two things:  one -- makes a difference in the community and two -- makes people feel and look good with each t-shirt purchase," explained Su.

That's exactly what Su did. She launched her startup, Honey Coast USA, in the summer of 2016. Over the past year Su has been working with highly experienced manufacturers in Los Angeles to develop a new range of casual chic t-shirts that women can feel both comfortable and sexy in, all while raising money to eliminate hunger.  With every shirt purchase, one meal will be donated to a person in need.

As with any new startup company, funding is a necessity for long term success. That's why Su recently launched a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign with a goal of raising at least $5,000. The money pledged by generous backers will help the entrepreneur's company meet its minimum order requirements for production. In doing so, the money raised will help Honey Coast USA launch its first set of t-shirt designs for purchase.

In return, backers will receive such gifts such as t-shirts, choker necklaces, tote bags and more!  Along with handing out free meals, Honey Coast USA will donate funds to reputable food charity partners, too. 

About Violet Su, Honey Coast CEO: With a love for fashion, design and styling, Su is a self-proclaimed rebel who follows the beat of her own drum. Oh, and she loves unicorns, too! They just ooze happiness and positive vibes. For the last five years, she's traveled the world as a dedicated, friendly flight attendant. While her fabulous job has allowed her to see some of the greatest fashion from around the globe, it's also reminded her that hunger is prevalent -- and that no country is immune to it. Through her newly launched company, she hopes to be a beacon of change.
