StrummWear
is an exciting new music fashion line that combines the youthful spirit
of fun, fashion and faith into hundreds of unique guitar string bracelets
and guitar pick necklaces designed to suit every occasion and every personality.
Based in Flora, Mississippi, StrummWear was founded in 2008 by Nicole
Ballard, a creative and fun-loving high school student who embodies the
StrummWear lifestyle. Combining music and fashion, fashion and faith,
Nicole has captured the essence of youthful self-expression.
StrummWear is more than jewelry... It represents a new category in accessories
that we like to refer to as "music fashion." StrummWear creatively
marries music and self-expressive fashion to feed a new iPod, Guitar Hero
and American Idol generation.
StrummWear is a woman-owned business, controlled by mother and daughter,
that involves the whole family dedicated to serving customers and spreading
the Gospel of Jesus Christ our Savior.
The StrummWear Story
StrummWear was founded in 2008 by Nicole Ballard, a 16 year-old high school
sophomore. From an early age, Nicole's interests have centered around
creativity and entrepreneurial adventures. From her childhood coffee stand
for neighborhood commuters, artsy photography and handmade fashion accessories,
Nicole has always pursued the American Dream through self-motivated innovation
and creativity.
At the age of 16, Nicole unexpectedly met Jesus. This divine providence
set in motion a miraculous chain of events that led to a family united
in Christ, a nationwide business and an expanding ministry.
Just months after Nicole's salvation experience, in the fall of 2007,
Nicole "borrowed" a guitar string and pick from her boyfriend
with the simple intent of creating a personal keepsake. When she wore
this primitive guitar string bracelet to school, friends all asked how
much she would charge to make one for them!
Sensing a market in the making, Nicole relayed the experience to her father
and together they began to imagine and explore the business possibilities.
After months of research, supplier negotiations, prototyping and design,
StrummWear was born. In her first few weeks of business, Nicole signed
over a dozen stores in the Southeastern U.S. and product demand quickly
became an unbelievable blessing. Nicoles line is now represented
in hundreds of store across the U.S. and the whole family has since joined
this fun and exciting adventure.
This is What We Do!
More
importantly, StrummWear is a total family ministry. Through Nicole's business,
our family is dedicated to reaching others with this life-changing testimony.
The message is simple and beautiful... Repent and believe that Jesus Christ
is the Son of the one true living God and you will be saved. Amazing Grace...
How sweet the sound!
The LORD will save me, and we will sing with stringed instruments all
the days of our lives in the house of the LORD. - Isaiah 38:20
Every package that reaches customers' hands carries this Bible verse.
The StrummWear logo and every guitar pick charm carries our unique Trinity
icon that represents the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. StrummWear
is more than a fashion business... It's a Christian ministry! A portion
of all profits are donated to Christian ministries dedicated to spreading
the Gospel of Jesus Christ worldwide.
