From Basement Dreams to Bold Fashion: How Kei’Shaun Redmond-Britton Built a Brand with Purpose
Some of the greatest ventures begin with a dream—scribbled notes, rough sketches, and a vision that refuses to fade. For Kei’Shaun Redmond-Britton, that dream took root in her basement during the height of the pandemic. “What started during COVID project has grown into a bold fashion brand offering apparel and bags that empower our customers to feel confident, and look fashionable as they navigate life with positivity,” Redmond-Britton shared.
Today, Duffle Bag Apparel has a storefront in Raytown and is expanding its reach, with new contracts bringing the brand closer to shelves in major retail stores. But the journey hasn’t always been smooth.

BLENDING BUSINESS AND FLAVOR
How Brain Freeze Daiquiri Got Its Start
When the world came to a standstill during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, James Thomas began thinking about ways to bring people together—even while they were apart. For him, the spark of inspiration came from an unexpected place: his love of daiquiri bars.
"I started thinking about a business concept shortly after COVID started," said Thomas, owner of Brain Freeze Daiquiri. "The world was shutting down and I was looking for ways to bring people together during a period of isolation and grief."
