In 2000 in order to extend our range " GENKI TEXSTYLES"
became" GENKI DESIGNS " to facilitate a market study which
indicated that 35% of our market in the age groups of 27 -45
are building and furnishing homes,thus opening avenues for
unique customized items .
While in the local Tourism Sector 5O% gift shops offered lucrative sales
projections in both wholesale and consignment for gift items , casual
and
beach apparel as well as export
to other Caribbean Destinations with high end clientelle such as Mustique,
St.Lucia,& Suriname .
This also gave as a better opportunity to launch our newest Genki Innovation
, the light catcher mobile collection, useing
artifacts from our local environment , like driftwood,sea tumbled polished
glass ,seeds and pods intersperced with beads, cystals and semi precious
stones , these mobiles echo
the FENG SHUI principles of WIND and WATER, and are made in (5)five
