Not every great idea starts with a big plan—some start with a ripped seam.

In 2018, Chloe was getting ready for a meeting when her favorite pair of jeans tore at the knee.

She tried to patch them with tape, but it wouldn’t stick, and she didn’t have time to sew.

That moment stuck with her.

After months of trial and error, Chloe created StickFix, a high-strength, fabric-friendly adhesive patch designed to repair clothes instantly.

It works on denim, cotton, and even leather—no sewing required.

Today, StickFix is a $9M brand, loved by travelers, parents, and fashionistas who need a fast, stylish solution to wardrobe malfunctions.

Here’s why StickFix took off:

• Turn frustration into innovation: Chloe didn’t reinvent clothing—she made it easier to care for. StickFix solved a universal problem for people who value convenience and durability.
  

• Make it accessible: Instead of focusing on high-end fashion, Chloe positioned StickFix as a must-have tool for anyone with a busy lifestyle.

What can we learn from Chloe?

• Solve everyday emergencies: StickFix thrived because it fixed a common problem—fast. Are you solving challenges your customers face every day?
  

• Focus on simplicity: Chloe’s product didn’t need a manual—it just worked. Is your product intuitive enough for anyone to use?
  

• Position for practicality: StickFix wasn’t marketed as luxury—it was marketed as useful. Are you focusing on how your product makes life easier?

Chloe’s story is proof that even small ideas—when executed well—can turn into big opportunities.
