What Tissini does
Tissini is a privately held, founder-led catalog direct-sales company headquartered in Hallandale Beach, Florida, that distributes Colombian-origin fashion and beauty products to U.S. consumers through a network of more than 55,000 independent Latina women entrepreneurs. The company sells its goods at wholesale to these "emprendedoras," who in turn resell at retail through personalized online stores, digital catalogs, and social media channels, retaining the spread as profit. Tissini handles direct fulfillment to end customers on behalf of the entrepreneurs, removing inventory and logistics burden from the sales force.
The product portfolio is anchored by Fajas Colombianas (shapewear and compression garments), Jeans Levantacola (curve-enhancing denim), and 925 sterling silver jewelry with 18k gold plating and gemstones, with adjacent lines spanning skincare, hair care, intimate apparel, sportswear, dresses, leggings, and home textiles. The technology stack consists of three proprietary components: (i) the "Oficina TISSINI" mobile app on iOS and Android for order management, inventory tracking, catalog sharing without prices, and earnings monitoring; (ii) a free white-label virtual storefront provided to each entrepreneur; and (iii) digital plus physical catalogs. The company provides free training, a points/loyalty program, and personalized advisor support.
Revenue is generated through wholesale product sales to the entrepreneur network, with entrepreneurs targeting 50%+ retail-to-wholesale spreads. There is no recurring SaaS or membership fee, no disclosed external venture or private equity backing, and no public revenue figures. Operating geographies are limited to the United States and Puerto Rico. Leadership comprises co-founders Tamy Gelman Tesone (CSO) and Sion Tesone (CEO).
