Real-revenue cases
An Australian husband-and-wife underwear brand that prints artist collaborations on cotton underwear, selling online and through 100+ stockists, mostly to women aged 35-55 buying gifts, at $40K-$200K monthly revenue.
01
It reframed underwear from a personal staple into a gift, with women buying for the men in their lives and peaks at Valentine's and Christmas, so demand recurs around gifting occasions. The founder reports ~10% annual growth, implying repeat purchase.
Direct-to-consumer sales on Stonemen.com plus wholesale to 100+ stores; roughly 70% gross margin online and 40% wholesale.
Plain printed-less underwear, and generic male gifts like ties or socks at holidays.
02
Early online sales were one or two a week; the founder found his real buyer — women aged 35-55 — by selling at markets.
03
For AI businesses: the 'find the actual payer, then allocate budget by occasion' play transfers directly — in many AI tools the buyer isn't the user (e.g. a manager buying for the team), so validate who pays and when before spending on ads.

The page shows both 'Stonekin' and 'Stonemen'; it's unclear which entity the revenue figures belong to.
Key unit economics — CAC, repeat purchase rate, return rate — are missing.
