30A Expands Partnership with Inked Brands, relocates fulfillment to BG

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – 30A, a beach lifestyle brand from Santa Rosa, Fla., and Inked Brands, an influencer commerce company, announced a new partnership designed to dramatically expand 30A’s recycled apparel line and 30A-brand products division.

“30A recycled apparel sales have grown beyond what we can fulfill locally here in Florida, so Inked will help us take product development and distribution to even higher levels,” said JoAnn Ribaudo, 30A’s Chief Operating Officer. “Not only will Inked continue to help us create new 30A products, but we’ll also be able to ship orders faster and to more customers, including internationally.”

In addition to expanding 30A’s apparel line, which is made from recycled plastic water bottles, Inked will manage 30Agear.com, 30A’s three retail stores, and 30A’s wholesale network. 30A-brand products are currently sold in over 400 stores nationwide, including three official 30A stores in Gulf Place, Rosemary Beach and Seagrove, Fla.

“Our expanded partnership gives us the ability to develop new 30A products and to reach more beach fans around the world,” said April Foster, founder and CEO of Inked Brands. “30A is the ultimate beach influencer, and we can’t wait to introduce 30A’s laid-back lifestyle to new audiences.”

Ron Bunch, Bowling Green Area Chamber of Commerce president and chief executive officer added, “We are thrilled for the opportunity Inked has with 30A. Being able to pinpoint internationally recognizable brands right in our home community shows what our city is capable of and excited our citizens.”
