Mermaids & Accolades Update


April 2013, Amanda Bright interviewed Owners, Jeremy Eggert & Tony South! Jeremy and Tony own a clothing line called, Mermaids & Accolades. Check out their Facebook Fanpage! They have more great things to come this summer so stay tuned..

Q: Why the name Mermaids & Accolades?
A: We decided that we wanted to do something different and original, there is also a meaning behind the name. The Mermaids part of the name represents lust and temptations because if you look back in history when sailors went out to sea the mermaids would lure them in by singing to them and appealing to their sexuality. The Accolades is the rewards and your legacy, basically an acknowledgement of your merit.


Q: Where is Mermaids & Accolades located for service?
A: We are currently a web based and local clothing line putting together our summer collection for release in June.


Q: What type of clothing do you guys sell?
A: We are going to start off by selling men’s tee’s, tanks and accessories and after the initial launch we’ll be releasing women’s sizes & designs as well.


Q: To whom are you two targeting your clothing line to?
A: Mermaids & Accolades (M&A) is an indie brand and we target people who want to stand out, we are aiming for a more uptown/hipster look where you can dress up our clothing under a sport jacket or wear it casually.


Q: What’s Mermaids & Accolades’ motto?
A: “The Rewards of Temptations” meaning don’t be afraid to chase your dreams, no matter the risk.


Q: When did this clothing line start and why?
A: We came up with the idea back in January and we wanted to drop a spring collection but we decided to take some time to make sure everything was perfect so we moved it back to a summer launch.


Q: Where do you two see yourself in ten years with this company?
A: We have high hopes for the future, and we understand that it takes hard work and dedication to become established in this industry. We do see ourselves in boutiques and possibly even our own store in the future, but we will still stay true to our brand and what Mermaids & Accolades represents.


Q: How did you two come up with the designs? The designs are very unique and stylish for men and women.
A: Our team is very creative, we come up with tons of concepts every meeting but very few make it to the final process. Tony comes up with a lot of the concepts and then we decide if we can make them in-house or if we should take it to our illustrator Lars Kommienezuspadt.


Q: Quality is everything! How would you say the quality is for Mermaids & Accolades?
A: Agreed, quality is everything and that is exactly what our customers will get with our clothing, quality designs & quality material, quality everything.


Q: Any big plans for 2013?
A: Our Official Launch in June 2013; we are working with our Sponsored Artist and DJ on some upcoming projects that will be dropping simultaneously with our summer release. We also have some fall gear in the works, as well as video and photo-shoots.
