Let's not forget about their comfortably.ĩ9.9% of those who try the Fantasea Fin or Spellbound Tails for the first time fall in love. You don't see fish with 'hard' flukes, do you? The last time you looked at a painting of a mermaid or mermaid related art, the fluke looked flowy, right? I mean, when's the last time you saw a fish swimming around with a piece of cardboard taped to its fluke! The Fantasea Fins and Spellbound Tails have proven themselves as perfectly realistic mermaid tail options for those who are looking for a realistic appearance and movement underwater. This is why I decided to develop the Fantasea Fin and Spellbound Tail lines. Instead the flukes of mermaid's tail should be flexible and translucent to an extent. This means no 'stiff' cardboard like flukes or fins. Mermaids = half human, half fish (At least this is what I've been taught in most fairytales and what I personally see these seductive creatures as). We are thankful that we are able to purchase American made and employ hard-working individuals right here in the Sunshine State. However, we live in a 'got-to-have-it-now' world, which we are all guilty of. While we understand budgets and circumstantial situations, if you truly want something badly enough, you can save up for it. If you're looking for a cheap product, you might as well look elsewhere, because we aren't serving that. There's a few that come to mind right away. There's plenty of other companies that you can purchase from who support this clause, if that's what you're looking for. In a nutshell, we aren't a factory in China paying $0.50-$1.00 per hour (Average Chinese factory workers make $285 per month) to our employees or making them work in unfair or unrealistic conditions. Sure, we could manufacture our products overseas and shutdown our manufacturing facilities to transform them into large stock warehouses, but that is not how we roll. It's unfortunate that overseas factories have abused their labor forces to make a 'quick buck' and spoiled so many individuals all over the world due to cheap labor and cheap 'knock-off' products. And guess what the best part is? The company can be OUT THOUSANDS of HUNDREDS of dollars without any recourse to the factory that they purchased from. When a company purchases from overseas factories, you can run into 'fishy' situations such as improper sizing, coloring, wrong materials, unsafe materials, etc.

However, there's much more control of quality this way. Many of the the raw materials that we purchase to make our products are also manufactured in the United States, which also increases the bottom line of our products. Not to mention, we truly care about all of our customers and the quality and service we can deliver to them. While this may not mean much to some of you, this takes time, money, and a lot of energy. However, that's just the half of it! Let's not forget the customer service and management side of things! It takes a TON of energy to make Mertailor operate on the daily basis. This includes the beginning design of the product lines, pattern making and the graduation of patterns, printing and transferring of all the various fabrics we use including spandex, neoprene, and minky fabrics, cutting and sewing of the garments, quality control, and packaging and fullfillment. Our entire team of talented individuals are creating everything from start to finish. Our motto is QOQ, 'Quality Over Quantity'. Many of our products have a 5-7 day production time as we normally make to order and not trying to 'overstock' our product lines like other companies do when they order in quanities over seas. Our product lines are made in our studio, right here in Crystal River, FL, not a factory in any other state or country. I decided that I wanted Mertailor to be 'American Made' and support my community. The Abyss Collection was our first and last line of product(s) purchased overseas. Our products are made in the USA (With the exception of our $5 closeout Abyss Collection of men's swimsuits from 2016).

Just something I'd like to mention to all of you if you didn't know already!
