Starting a New Fashion Line

Many successful businesses are born out of a consumer need for a product, which Petite Studio‘s founder Jenny Wang honed in on when she started her company. Wang’s two-year-old fashion label caters to women who are 5’4 and under. PS offers a mix of trendy tops, dresses, pants, and skirts with sizes ranging from XXS to large. The price point is around $89-$200 depending on the item.

Wang launched Petite Studio in August 2016 with her partner and husband Matthew Howell, who manages the business side of the operations.

Its Instagram account currently has 22.7k followers.
