It was formed in 2008 and is best known for its groundbreaking Shibue “No-Line” Strapless Panty, which has revolutionized both the fashion industry and solved the problem of visible panty-lines for everyday women.

The Shibue products are currently available in a number of nationwide retail stores and online. Southern ITS International, Inc. intends to capitalize on its newly established, but well-experienced marketing and Internet sales teams to promote the full Shibue product line to greatly increase the exposure and resulting sales of the Shibue products online.

Shibue Couture is currently selling its products on Amazon Prime.

From the news: Growth Goods Inc., of Waterloo, Iowa, a subsidiary of Southern ITS International, Inc., is the distribution company for Shibue with an 8,000-square-foot warehouse facility located in Urbandale, Iowa.

“Ever since my first meeting with FaZe, we shared the same vision in working together to create lasting change for female gamers in this industry,’ said Grace Van Dien aka FaZe Bluefille. “We picked each other for a reason and I’m excited to take on an important role in bringing women to the forefront. This is not just about the announcement of me joining FaZe, it's what we're going to do together.”

Continued: “I’m stoked to have Grace on board with us, she’s been a friend for a little while now and is genuinely one of the kindest people I know,” said FaZe Nate Hill. “She’s also super talented – people know her as an actress but she's carried me on Valorant more than a few times. Grace adds another element to the team and she’s a great fit for the future of FaZe Clan.”
