Young adults in their college life tend to have this specific notion and goal in their minds which is to finally break into independence particularly, financially, even in simple beginner’s steps, Patricia and Aleya, both in their 20s, are one of them.
Patricia May Jadoc is a Broadcasting student in her second year at Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP) and Aleya Nicole Vasquez was a Visual Communication student in Eulogio “Amang” Rodriguez Institute of Science and Technology (EARIST). Both Pat and Aleya are also digital artists under the name of Dafforene and Popcorncheek, respectively.
Driven to help sustain their families’ finances and their own expenses, they dreamt of building their own business while also enjoying their passion. They also want to expand their salary resources from their art commissions since it couldn’t be enough to support their ever-expanding expenses. With Aleya’s talent in graphic arts or layout and Pat’s passion for modeling and the availability of space on their house, they came up with a clothing shop business idea. With the help of their parents’ guidance, support, and extra manpower of some of their close friends – L’eau et Soleil made its launch on February 6, 2022, with its aesthetic earthy brown palette-themed collection and their Encanto-themed collection of clothes.
Though they encounter minor issues just moments before their planned launching schedule, Pat said that it was overall, satisfying and overwhelming when their friends and other audience shared their posts and the numbers of followers on both of their Facebook and Instagram shop pages increased. It felt even real when comment sections started to accumulate miners/grabbers/ bidders for certain clothes. Their stress paid off.
They plan to continue the clothing line business for an extended period of time with a vision of making it an official company with added people to help it grow even further. Although it’s a tentative goal since the two of them also have another passion that they want to really pursue permanently, this side hustle has been a great pleasure and opportunity for them.
